The Problems of Genocide: Permanent Security and the Language of Transgression is a 2021 book written by Australian historian A. Dirk Moses. The book examines what Moses identifies as weaknesses in the definition of genocide, arguing that this concept permits the dismissal of civilian killings that differ from the Holocaust. Moses suggests "permanent security" as a substitute for the genocide framework. Critics have called the book significant, although they note that Moses's focus on security represents only one element contributing to widespread violence.
