Goals:
(1) to reduce the ability of the target group to resist
(2) to minimize the risk to the perpetuators
(3) to minimize the cost to the perpetuators

to use arson, rape, harassments, torture and murder to remove opposition
find willing executioners and bureaucrats
may enlist a group opposed to the target population to collaborate
