Aggression and Violence: Social Interactionist Perspectives

"Aggression and Violence" presents theoretical issues related to the "social interactionist approach" to aggression and violence.

The situtational and interpersonal factors that lead people to use coercion against one another are the focus of this publication. "Aggression and Violence" examines common elements in the study of conflict, social power and influence, aggression, violence and crime.

The volume includes contributions from a group of criminologists, sociologists and social psychologists.

These scholars discuss the use of aggression as a method of social influence, as an expression of grievances, and as an attempt to maintain and enhance desired identities.
