questions that arise when we witness violence in the in the media or in real life. This book
provides comprehensive answers by combining the explanatory approaches from criminology

diversity of human violence: acts of violence by individual perpetrators  violence between
groups  riots and tumults by gangs and hooligans  violent ethnic and religious conflicts 
extreme violence in the form of amok and terror  and up to armed conflicts  pogroms  and

does violence originate in our brain? Why has a tendency towards violence become established as
part of our behavioural repertoire in the development of humankind? What influences on
personality development can lead to violent characters? How often is violence the product of a
pathological psyche? Do genes play a role? Which social constellations contribute? What are the
causes of rampage and terror? What is known about the relationship between religion and
