Kneecapping is a form of malicious wounding, often as torture, in which the victim is injured in the knee. The injury is typically inflicted by a low-velocity gunshot to the knee pit with a handgun. The term is considered a misnomer by medical professionals because only a very small minority of victims suffer damage to the kneecap. A review of eighty kneecapping victims found that only two had a fractured kneecap. Some victims have their elbows and ankles shot as well.

  • Le terme, en italien, de gambizzazione désigne un attentat qui consiste à tirer des coups de feu en visant les jambes de la victime. On parle, en français, de jambisme et, en anglais, de kneecapping. Un tel acte, qui ne vise pas l'élimination physique de la personne blessée, a pour but généralement de punir, de menacer ou de faire un exemple. Au cours de la période comprise entre les années 1970 et 80 et bien connue sous le nom d' « années de plomb », les groupes qui s'adonnaient à ce qu'ils appelaient la « lutte armée », en particulier les Brigades rouges, ont commis de nombreux attentats de ce genre, avec en particulier pour cible des personnalités importantes de la presse ou de la politique. L’Armée républicaine irlandaise provisoire utilisa aussi cette méthode, appelé Knee-capping. Parmi bien d'autres furent ainsi blessés aux jambes non seulement des journalistes classés à droite, comme en 1977 (it) et Indro Montanelli, mais aussi des politiciens connus de gauche comme, en 1983, (it), considéré comme le père du (it) (voir aussi, au sein de Wikipédia en italien : la catégorie répertoriant des personnalités ayant été la cible de gambizzazione).
