Reviews"The ideal book for this course needs to touch on a wide variety of violence, causation, and patterns. This text does a really good job of covering these topics, and the tripartite approach of examining patterns, causes, and prevention flows rather nicely."--Carol Higgins O'Brien, University of Massachusetts Lowell"This text provides a well-researched and comprehensive discussion of the history of criminal violence in the United States, contemporary violent activities, types of violence, and governments' responses to violence."--Abu Mboka, California State University, Stanislaus"Criminal Violence offers a broad survey of violence by both type and context, and its 'tripartite approach' of patterns, explanations, and interventions is logical and intuitive. The book is clearly written and user friendly."-James Densley, Metropolitan State University"This text is a sober and scholarly look at a social problem that many competitor texts tend to treat like a three-ring circus." --Christopher Schreck, Rochester Institute of Technology, "The ideal book for this course needs to touch on a wide variety of violence, causation, and patterns.
