Routledge Collective Violence - Assessing & Intervening in Institutional Aggression

Collective Violence: Effective Strategies for Assessing and Intervening in Fatal Group and Institutional Aggression is a comprehensive Routledge publication examining the complex dynamics of organised destructive behaviour across multiple institutional and population contexts. The book explores how specific groups and institutions channel aggression, analyses cultural factors that normalise deadly force within societies, and investigates how scientific establishments and media influence public narratives around violence. This resource addresses the psychological, sociological, and institutional mechanisms that enable collective aggression, providing evidence-based frameworks for assessment and intervention strategies. Essential reading for professionals in law enforcement, criminal justice, institutional management, public policy, and behavioural sciences seeking to understand and counter systematic group violence.
