内容説明

In the 1970s, research on biological bases of violence was repudiated on ideological grounds. Now, insights of the 1990s on the biology of violence, including research on brain injury, ethology and genetic defects which cause violent behaviour both in animals and humans, force reappraisal of biological foundations for some violent behaviour. In this volume case studies are discussed, including American inner cities, narcoterrorism, Northern Ireland and Basqueterrorism. Epidemiology, anthropology and sociology perspectives include international studies of homicide rates, of the impact of television, effects of alcohol, impact on survivors, and evolving changes in international warfare. This text begins an integration of biological, psychological and cultural perspectives on violence. This broad perspective should interest psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, geneticists, ethologists, criminologists, women's and ethnic studies scholars, political scientists, ethicists and politicians.
