This volume is designed as an accessible way for policymakers outside of academia to learn about new theoretical developments.Evolutionary psychology-a relatively new theoretical model of psychology-provides valuable and exciting insights on human violence and public policy issues related to human violence, from war and terrorism to rape and criminality. To this end, each chapter in this volume poses a public policy issues related to violence, describes aspects of evolutionary psychology that are relative and then posits public policy recommendations based on this psychological model. Topics covered also include psycopathy, despotism, and suicide bombings.
