Harff and Gurr also talk say genocides and politicides dey different based on how the state identify members of the group. For genocides, the groups wey dey suffer am dey defined mainly based on their communal characteristics, like ethnicity, religion or nationality. For politicides, the groups wey dey suffer am dey defined mainly based on their position for hierarchy or political opposition to the regime and dominant groups. Daniel D. Polsby and Don B.
