In the 1980s the relationship between alcohol and aggression and
violence was a controversial one. Much of previous thinking had
been based on anecdotal evidence. In contrast this book, originally
published in 1986, is based upon recent scientific evidence from a
broad range of studies from animal experimentation to clinical and
social research. The initial chapters describe what aggression is,
in terms of theories of animal behaviour, how alcohol influences
neural and endocrine functions and behaviour and how problematic it
often is to extrapolate from animal research to humans. Later
chapters give critical reviews of attempts to relate alcohol intake
to violence and crime. The book represents a major synthesis of
work from many disciplines and will interest workers in animal
behaviour, alcohol studies, psychopharmacology and social
psychology.
