This book bridges the gap between basic science, which deals with
general concepts of aggression and its neurobiological foundations,
and law enforcement as one of the applied fields of aggression
research. It addresses the current state of research and practice
and compares and integrates the concept of aggression with violent
crime. Chapters examine the types of criminal careers that cross
the boundary between the two and summarize the biological,
psychological, and social factors that underlie particular types of
criminal careers. Subsequent chapters discuss overlaps between
biological and psychological factors and detail how and to what
extent aggression may serve as explanatory mechanisms for violence.
The book also discusses the relationship between social problems
and neuropsychological deficits, addressing how the
neuropsychological deficits lead to the intergenerational recycling
of social problems. Finally, the volume explores violence and
aggression from a neurobiological perspective. Topics featured in
this book include: The heritability of aggressiveness and
violence-proneness. Glucocorticoids in humans. Aggression circuitry
in animals. Distorted circuitry in violent animals. Biological
factors of psychological change. Neurobiopsychosocial Perspectives
on Aggression and Violence is a must-have resource for researchers,
clinicians and other professionals, and graduate students in
forensic psychology, criminology/criminal justice, public health,
developmental psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry,
social work, educational policy and politics, health psychology,
nursing, and behavioral therapy/rehabilitation.
