The past quarter-century has witnessed a dramatic upsurge of
violent crime in the United States and abroad. In this country, the
rise in violent criminal activity has been consistently documented
in such published accounts as the Uniform Crime Reports and the
Statistical Handbook on Violence in America, published by the FBI
and the Vio lence Research Group, respectively. Further, social
scientists-particularly those working in the fields of sociology
and psychology-have provided a convergence of findings attesting to
the magnitude of one of today's most significant social problems:
domestic violence (e. g., spouse, child, and elder abuse). Such
efforts have served as the impetus for heightened clinical and
investigative activity in the area of violent be havior. Indeed, a
wide range of mental health experts (such as psychologists, psychi
atrists, social workers, counselors, and rehabilitation
specialists) have endeavored to focus on strategies and issues in
research and treatment for violent individuals and their victims.
The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive and timely
examination of current psychological approaches with violent
criminal offenders. Despite the fact that we continue to have much
to learn about perpetrators of violent acts, in recent an
increasingly large body of empirical data have been adduced about
this years issue. However, these data generally have appeared in
disparate journals and books. That being the case, it is our belief
that such a handbook now is warranted."
