Description

Move beyond simple explanations of randomness or evil when studying aggression. The Meanings of Violence by Routledge offers a deep look into the complex realities of why violence occurs. Instead of relying on media tropes, this volume uses research from the ESRC's Violence Research Programme to provide a more nuanced perspective. Through diverse subject matter, including interviews with killers and discussions with children in residential facilities, this book explores how violence is shaped by social contexts, identities, and social divisions. It challenges standard ways of discussing these issues and provides a platform for understanding the multiple and often contradictory meanings behind violent acts. This text is an essential resource for students and professionals in anthropology and sociology. It provides the tools necessary to break open traditional ways of speaking about violence and offers a detailed look at the social forces that drive human behavior.
