Understanding Violence

Classic Reprint Edition

By: Graeme Newman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This vintage text on Understanding Violence, first published in 1978, on the causes, consequences and distribution of violence is as relevant today as it was over 4 decades ago.. Though limited to research of the 1970s, the explanations, exposition and reviews of data and theories of violence are staggeringly similar to the research of the 21st century. The organization of the material is unequaled, and will help any student of violence, or anyone who seeks answers and understanding, with its well organized exposition and clear, down-to-earth style. The new preface by the author of this classic reprint identifies what he would add if he were doing a new edition, and why in the end he chose not to write one. The book contains 4 parts, beginning at the macro level, and ending at the "micro" or psychological level.
