Adrian Raine Department of Psychology. University of Southern
California. USA Jose Sanmartin Queen Sojia Center for the Study of
Violence. Valencia. Spain The problems that psychopathic and
violent offenders create for society are not restricted to North
America. Instead, these offenders create havoc throughout the
world, including Europe. In recognition of this fact, Queen Sophia
of Spain has promoted a Center for the Study of Violence which
recognizes both biological and social contributions to the cause of
violence. In November 1999, the Queen Sofia Center for the Study of
Violence held its IV International Meeting on the Biology and
Sociology of Violence. This fourth Meeting, which was under the
Honorary Presidency of H. M. The Queen of Spain, examined the
biological, psychological and social aspects of the psychopath, the
violent offender, and the serial killer. This book presents some of
the key contributions made at that conference and which were first
published in Spanish in 2000 by Ariel Press. A key thrust of this
book, and a stance shared by all of its contributors, is the notion
that violence and psychopathy simply cannot be understood solely,
or even fundamentally, in terms of social and environmental forces
and influences. Nor do biological factors offer an exclusive
explanation.
