Why are some people violent and aggressive while others are not?
Where do these negative emotions and actions come from? What can be
done to prevent dangerous behavior? Drawing upon years of research
and experience as a therapist, lecturer, and consultant to law
enforcement and business, Moffatt presents a broad perspective on
the psychological and sociological roots of aggression. Using both
case studies and theoretical constructs from several different
fields, this work provides an overview of the diverse mix of
factors that create individuals with a propensity to resort to
violence. Topics include domestic violence, the violent child, mass
murder, terrorism, serial killing, murder for hire, and hate
crimes. Moffatt also details the growing phenomena of road rage,
air rage, and sports rage.
Avoiding complex psychological jargon, Moffatt helps the general
reader to understand and easily apply these concepts. He also
addresses intervention techniques and deterrents to criminal
behavior, ranging from rehabilitation, to revised prison
sentencing, to the death penalty. Stories of successful
intervention and recovery round out the volume.
