FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Featuring a unique overview of the different forms of extreme violence, this book considers the psychology of extreme violence alongside a variety of contributing factors, such as brain abnormalities in homicide offenders. Featuring several contemporary real-world case studies, this book offers insight into the psychology of serial homicide offenders, mass shooters, school shooters and lone-actor terrorists. The main purpose of this book is not to glorify or condemn the actions of these individuals, but to attempt to explain the motivations and circumstances that inspire such acts of extreme violence. By adopting a detailed case study approach, it aims to increase our understanding of the specific motivations and psychological factors underlying extreme violence. Using nontechnical language, this book is the ideal companion for students, researchers, and forensic practitioners interested in the multidisciplinary nature of extreme violence. This book will also be of interest to students taking courses on homicide, mass shooting, school shooting, terrorism, forensic psychology and criminology and criminal justice.

Rampage School ShootingsChapter 6: The Psychology of Terrorism and Lone-Actor TerroristsChapter 7: Conclusion: Threat Assessment and Prevention of Extreme ViolenceIndex Review "The Psychology of Extreme Violence investigates the motivational drivers of those guilty of lone-actor terrorism, school shootings, and serial murder. Through a diverse set of case studies, their mobilisation toward violence is engagingly demonstrated. Collectively, it leaves us with a number of lessons learned for risk assessment and management purposes." —Paul Gill, Professor of Security and Crime Science, University College London, UK"Extreme killers are often analyzed in overly simplistic terms: either they were mentally ill, or they werent. Fortunately, Allely brings a more nuanced approach by analyzing how neurological factors, mental disorders, psychological tendencies, environmental variables, and more can interact to produce serial killers, terrorists, and mass shooters. In applied case studies, she then demonstrates how the lives of perpetrators spiral out of control—before they take the lives of others."— Adam Lankford, University of Alabama, USA Details ISBN036748093X Short Title The Psychology of Extreme Violence Pages 264 Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 036748093X ISBN-13 9780367480936 Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Publication Date 2020-04-28 UK Release Date 2020-04-28 Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2020-04-28 NZ Release Date 2020-04-28 Author Clare Allely Subtitle A Case Study Approach to Serial Homicide, Mass Shooting, School Shooting and Lone-actor Terrorism Alternative 9780367480929 DEWEY 364.15019 Illustrations 1 Tables, black and white; 3 Illustrations, black and white Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
