This paper draws attention to the ethical issues accompanying empirical research
on security, offering a framework for ethical assessment. Speaking to the various
subfields and schools of applied security studies broadly conceived, we classify
the many ethical issues specific to empirical research on security, conflict and
political violence into researcher-related problems, subject-related problems and resultrelated
problems, we evaluate their importance and variations, and highlight
potential mitigation pathways. This effort brings together an existing but
fragmented literature and builds upon the authors’ own experiences in several
subfields and schools of “hands-on” research on security and political violence.
