Description

The Meanings of Violence explores how violence is understood beyond simplistic narratives of randomness and evil. Drawing from the ESRC's Violence Research Programme, this Routledge volume examines violence through diverse perspectives including interviews with individuals involved in violent crimes and observations within residential care settings. The contributors situate violence within broader social contexts, identities and social divisions, revealing the complex and contradictory meanings embedded in violent acts. Rather than treating violence as a singular phenomenon, this book demonstrates how understanding its multiple meanings requires engagement with social structures, personal narratives and institutional settings. Ideal for psychology students, researchers and professionals seeking a nuanced examination of how society makes sense of violent behaviour.

Key Features

The Meanings of Violence draws on extensive research from the ESRC's Violence Research Programme to examine violence across multiple social contexts.

This Routledge psychology book includes insights from interviews with individuals convicted of violent crimes and research conducted in residential care facilities.

The volume explores how social identities and divisions shape the interpretation and meaning of violent acts in contemporary society.

Contributors challenge conventional media narratives about violence by presenting complex, evidence-based perspectives on motivations and contexts.

Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate psychology students, criminology researchers and professionals working in justice, social care and mental health fields.
