This volume contains commissioned reviews of research on biological
influences on violent or aggressive behavior. The areas reviewed
include genetic contributions to the probability of violent and
related behaviors; brain structure and functioning as implicated in
aggressive behavior; the roles of hormonal and neurological
interactions in violent behavior; the neurochemistry of violence
and aggression and its implications for the management of those
behaviors; and dietary influences on violent behavior. Table of
