Book synopsis

This book offers a transnational and transdisciplinary investigation of the causes and consequences of violence, ranging from bullying and hate crimes to revolutions, genocide, and acts of terrorism. Editors James Hawdon, John Ryan, and Mark Lucht bring together empirical investigations of these specific types of violence as well as theoretical discussions of the underlying similarities and differences among these forms of violence to further a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The collection addresses hate crimes committed by one or two individuals, riots, revolutions, and terroristic acts committed by well-organized groups. It also focuses on the perpetrators as well as the targets of violence. While each chapter stands alone as a cutting-edge piece of scholarship, taken together the collection provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to group violence. Addressing a phenomenon affecting every area of the modern world, From Bullies to Terrorists: The Causes and Consequences of Group Violence is a valuable resource for sociologists, criminologists, political scientists, behavioral scientists, peace studies scholars, and psychologists.
