The Study of Violent Crime
- Share to:
As the plan to write this book began to develop, a few central points became immediately apparent. First, the concept of violence represents a vast collection of behaviors and cognitions within a theoretical domain whose parameters are extremely ambiguous. Of course, there are distinctions between the types of violence and their nature, which can be clearly articulated, but the causal and correlational variables that contribute to the acts of violence are legion. As a result, it was quickly determined that an attempt to cover the entire domain of violence within a single book is futile and may even result in further confounding the already misunderstood concept of violence and its attendant characteristics that have such a pro- found impact on ideology and beliefs.
The latent theme of this book is to provide a current analysis of violence and violent crime perpetrated by adult offenders within the United States of America. The concept of latent is strategic and purposeful. The reason is that to under- stand adult violence in the United States one must explore historical trends in violence, including trends in other countries as a result of the United States as such a young populace. In addition, it is important to explore developmental processes, including some important facts related to juvenile violence, to understand adult violence.
