About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive historical and cross-cultural examination of infanticide, a subject that has appeared in human societies across time and geography but is rarely studied in a unified way. Drawing on historical records and modern research from around the world, the author brings together material that has previously been scattered across academic disciplines and isolated studies.

Rather than focusing on sensational cases, the book explores the social, psychological, legal, and cultural contexts in which infanticide has occurred. It examines how different societies have understood, regulated, and attempted to prevent such acts, and considers the complex factors that have influenced parental decision-making throughout history.

Written for readers interested in psychology, social welfare, ethics, and public health, this work aims to deepen understanding of a difficult topic in order to encourage informed discussion and effective prevention strategies.

Dr. Larry S. Milner is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Hematology, and Oncology, as well as an attorney. His interdisciplinary background informs this carefully researched study, which seeks to educate the public and professionals alike through historical analysis and evidence-based insight.

A board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Oncology as well as an attorney, Dr. Milner wrote this book to inform the public about the historical and current practice of infanticide in order to promote prevention.
