Summary |
[This book] provides [a] portrait of chronic predatory offenders, problem police officers, and others with a demonstrated propensity for violent conduct. This revised edition explores the personal motives, attitudes, assumptions, and perceptions of men who are recurrently violent. How patterned and consistent is the violence of such men? What are the dynamics of their escalating encounters? What personal dispositions and orientations are most apt to lead to violence? "Violent Men" contains not only scholarly research on violence, but also a sense of the humanity of violent men |
