Synopsis :

For upper-level undergraduate courses in Violence/Abuse, found in departments of Sociology, Criminology, Legal Studies, and Criminal Justice.

This text examines why violent conduct occurs―whether or not it is defined as a crime. It reflects a distinctive perspective on the social construction of violence as normative conduct, deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of society, and supported by specific legal traditions that are difficult to change. The book also explores the structural origins of social violence, such as the role patriarchal social institutions play in explaining gender violence.
