Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines social influences on violent events and violent behavior, particularly concentrating on how the risks of violent criminal

offending and victimization are influenced by communities, social situations, and individuals; the role of spouses and intimates; the differences in violence levels between males and females; and the roles of psychoactive substances in violent events.
