chosen.content: Political violence is effective because it generates a psychological response, creates a sense of fear and panic, disrupts people's lives and is often done in an organised and coordinated way. Additionally, in some cases political violence can create a media spectacle which further serves the goals of those who use it.

rejected.content: Political violence is effective because it elicits an intense emotional reaction from those who experience it. The fear, intimidation, and even death resulting from political violence can be extremely traumatizing and may cause people to be more inclined to support the groups using it or to avoid the groups altogether. This type of impact can be far reaching and may result in drastic changes in social policies or affect voter support. Additionally, when perpetrated on a large scale, it can serve to destabilize a population, limiting the effectiveness of civil protests or making citizens unwilling or unable to participate in the political process. Political violence, therefore, can be an extremely effective way for certain interest groups to advance their own agenda.
