Sommario/riassunto |
|
Offering a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to understanding and preventing interpersonal violence and its consequences, this volume provides the most complete, up-to-date information available about how much violence occurs in America, how different processes--biological, psychosocial, situational, and social--interact to determine violence levels, what preventive strategies are suggested by our current knowledge of violence, and the most critical research needs in this area. |
