Collective Violence: Effective Strategies for Assessing and Intervening in Fatal Group and Institutional Aggression

Autor Harold V. Hall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 1998
Collective Violence: Effective Strategies for Assessing and Intervening in Fatal Group and Institutional Aggression explores the variety of groups and institutions explicitly committed to destructive aggression. Topics addressed include population groups which pursue their own specialized forms of violence against others; culture-infecting and polluting themes which desensitize citizens and societal institutions to deadly force and preparations for catastrophic violence; and the role of our scientific establishment and the media in promoting culture-wide themes that justify, legalize, and reify violence.

Recenzii

"This book is clearly the urgent call by the contributors, who, using tools of their professions, are trying with deep feeling to contribute something to the prevention of a lethal outcome for humanity. They ask, correctly, whether there is time in which we can reframe our priorities. To do so, the authors lead us through a fascinating but disturbing maze of the phenomena of violence in groups, institutions, and the media."
-Israel W. Charny, Executive Director, Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide, Jerusalem , in the Preface to This Book
"...a unique blend of outstanding experts from the forensic disciplines. Incorporating cutting edge topics confronted by the law enforcement community, these experts, with their varied backgrounds, have delved into the darkest sides of the human personality."
-Lloyd E. Dean, FBI Special Agent (Retired) and Co-Founder, Threat Management Group, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky

Descriere

With authoritative contributions from professional and academic experts in the field, this book explores the variety of groups and institutions explicitly committed to destructive aggression. It details evaluation and intervention strategies for violence sponsored by the state or by a group against individuals. It also includes discussion of the phenomenon of smaller units, such as cults and gangs. Topics addressed include population groups that pursue their own specialized forms of violence against others and the role of our scientific establishment and the media in promoting culture-wide themes that justify, legalize, and reify violence.
