Lonnie Athens examines a problem that has long baffled experts and
lay people alike: How does a person become a dangerous violent
criminal? He explains how those who commit brutal crimes begin as
relatively benign individuals who undergo lengthy, at times
tortuous. development leading them to malevolence. The process that
Athens labels "violentization" encompasses four stages:
brutalization, belligerency, violent performance, and virulency.
Athens uses vivid first-person accounts gleaned from in-depth
interviews with nascent and hardened violent criminals to back up
his theory, producing a book that will appeal to a wide variety of
readers interested in criminal justice, law, and sociology.
