Adrian Raine is one of the world's leading authorities on the minds of the violent the criminal the dangerous the unstable. An Anatomy of Violence" is the culmination of his life's work so far offering the latest answers to some of the most difficult questions: what are the causes of violence? Can it be treated? & might it one day be stopped? Are some criminals born not made? What causes violence & how can we treat it? " An Anatomy of Violence" introduces readers to new ways of looking at these age-old questions. Drawing on the latest scientific research Adrian Raine explains what it reveals about the brains of murderers psychopaths & serial killers. While once it was thought upbringing explained all & subsequently explanations shifted to genetics Raine goes to great pains to explain that anti-social behaviour is complex & based on the interaction between genetics & the biological & social environment in which a person is raised. But the latest statistical evidence between certain types of biological & early behavioural warning signs is also very strong. Through a series of case studies of famous criminals Raine shows how their criminal behaviour might be explained on the basis of these new scientific discoveries. But the conclusions point to a host of philosophical & moral issues. What are the implications for our criminal justice system? Should we condemn & punish individuals who have little or no control over their behaviour? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals? These are among the thorny issues we can no longer ignore as our understanding of criminal behaviour grows. Praise for Adrian Raine's " The Psychopathology of Crime": " An extremely informative thoughtful & illuminating book.. .a tour de force". (David P Farrington Psychological Medicine). Adrian Raine is the Richard Perry University Professor in the Departments of Criminology Psychiatry & Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. For the past 35 years his research has focused on the neurobiological & biosocial bases of antisocial & violent behavior & ways to both prevent & treat it in both children & adults." ...
