Research on violence in Western societies has increased in recent years. The reasons for this development are manifold ranging from the rise of certain patterns of violence, or a new sensitivity in the population, to a return of atavistic forms of violence, and a shift to new societal areas of violent activities. What has been missing to date, however, is a systematic overview of the relevant findings in various academic disciplines. The International Handbook of Violence Research aims to fill this gap. The International Handbook of Violence Research is extremely relevant to those working in the areas of criminology, sociology, social science and law.
