Moral uncertainty surrounding the use of armed drones has been a persistent problem for more than two decades. In response, Moralities of Drone Violence aims to provide greater clarity by exploring and ordering a variety of ways in which violent drone use can be judged as just or unjust in various circumstances. The book organises moral ideas around a series of concepts of 'drone violence': warfare, violent law enforcement, tele-intimate violence, and violence devolved from humans to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. In contrast to the way armed drones tend to be debated narrowly in terms of war and law, this broad-based approach to normative inquiry affords more scope to discern and address the potential for these weapon systems to support moral progress or to generate injustice.

Industry Reviews
Christian Enemark has provided a comprehensive, empirically informed and distinctive set of analyses of the concepts and arguments deployed in the debates on the morality of drone violence in war and in other settings. Moralities of Drone Violence is an important, yet very readable, contribution to the scholarly literature.-- "Seumas Miller, Charles Sturt University"
