Cause

Janice Harper followed her Huffington Post essay with a series of essays in both The Huffington Post and in her column "Beyond Bullying: Peacebuilding at Work, School and Home" in Psychology Today that argued that mobbing is a score of multinational aggression innate to primates, and that those who engage in mobbing are not necessarily "evil" or "psychopathic", but responding in a predictable and patterned rank when someone in a position of predominance or influence communicates to the companies that someone must go. For that reason, she referred that anyone can and will engage in mobbing, and that once mobbing gets underway, just as in the animal kingdom it will near always cover and intensify as long as the target continues with the group. She subsequently published a book on the topic in which she explored animal behavior, organizational cultures and historical forms of group aggression, suggesting that mobbing is a clear of group aggression on a continuum of structural violence with genocide as the near extreme form of mob aggression.
