A unique feature of Criminal Violence is the use of a consistent and engaging three-part framework for discussing each type of violence. This will help students understand the important relationship between research, theory, and application:
Patterns: The characteristics of victims, offenders, and offenses; places where violence occurs frequently; and trends over time.
Explanations: An examination of the major theories that have been used to understand each type of violence.
Interventions: Proposed solutions for each type of violence, including diverse legal and social strategies - both proactive (e.g., prevention) and reactive (e.g., punishment).
Specific subtopics covered include:
Homicide and Aggravated Assault
Gang Violence
Family Violence
Robbery
Rape and Sexual Assault
Urban Riots
Domestic Terrorism
Hate Crimes
The Role of Firearms in Violence
The Role of Drugs and Alcohol in Violence
