Empathy versus Offending, Aggression, and Bullying advances
knowledge about the measurement of empathy, using the Basic Empathy
Scale (BES), and how empathy is related to offending, aggression,
and bullying in community and incarcerated groups. Empathy is
widely accepted as one of the most important individual factors
that are related to offending, aggression, and bullying, and it is
common in many intervention projects to aim to improve empathy in
order to reduce offending, aggression, and bullying. The BES was
constructed by Jolliffe and Farrington (2006) and has been widely
used in a number of countries. This book brings together chapters,
from a broad range of contributors, which explore the application
of BES in ten different countries (England, Portugal, Spain,
Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, Croatia, Australia, Canada, and the
USA). Each chapter reviews the use of the BES in that particular
jurisdiction, its psychometric properties, and its importance in
relation to offending, aggression, and bullying. The research
includes samples from primary schools, secondary schools, and the
community, as well as those who are justice-involved and on
probation, in prisons and secure psychiatric hospitals. The book
concludes with wider implications for intervention, policy, and
practice. This book will be valuable reading for students and
scholars of criminology, psychology and sociology, as well as
practitioners who are interested in developing their understanding
of the complex link between empathy and a range of antisocial
behaviours.
