Book Reviews of Violent Criminal Acts and Actors Revisited
Book Review: A comprehensive and astounding work
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Athen's work on the creation of violent criminals is groundbreaking in its scope and reach. I have read all of his books and the framework he proposes is one that offers many intersections for intervention before a violent person is created.
This is an intellectually challenging and exciting book. It should be read by anyone interested in creating a peaceful society and preventing inter-personal violence.
