Is criminal behavior transmitted from one generation to the next? What relationship exists between substance abuse and criminal behavior? Pathways to Criminal Violence answers these and other questions in a concerted effort to stimulate renewed debate and dialogue on the growing problem of criminal violence and behavior. The wide range of methodological and substantive topics comprising this impressive volume--sexual criminal violence; drugs, alcohol, and violent crime; mental disorder and violent crime; the intergenerational transmission of violence; and the experiences of violent and serious victimization--provides in-depth coverage from diverse theoretical and research perspectives. In addition, this volume clearly identifies areas where more research needs to be conducted. "The major contribution to this book is to provide scholars interested in the study of criminal violence with relatively recent and extensive reviews of the literature on six interesting and important substantive topics."
