Summary of Violence: Patterns, Causes, and Public Policy

A collection of supplementary readings on violence and violent crime, this book brings together a wide array of writings on various manifestations of violence in American life. It is broad based, not only in the kinds of violence covered (from street crime to family violence and political and corporate malfeasance), but also in the way it describes and explains implications for public policy.
