Against a theoretical backdrop influenced by social psychology rather than individual pathology, \u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Interpersonal Violence\u003c\/i\u003e identifies and explores the myriad forms of violent acts that occur between individuals in contemporary society. The book begins by exploring \"everyday violence,\" addressing such pervasive behaviours as school and workplace bullying, forms of sexual harassment, animal cruelty, and even aggressive driving. Hollin also considers the violence (often hidden) that occurs against children or partners in a family home. Finally, the most serious acts of criminal violence, such as robbery and murder, and aggressive acts with a sexual element are examined. A concluding chapter reflects on the strength of the ways in which we understand interpersonal violence and offers suggestions for future research that can lead to the prevention or reduction of incidents of violent behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Interpersonal Violence\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource for students, and for our current understanding of the causes and effects of acts of interpersonal violence in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClive Hollin is Emeritus Professor of Criminological Psychology in the School of Psychology at The University of Leicester, UK.
