From domestic abuse and threatening behaviour to stalking and school bullying, acts of violence between people can vary widely and occur across a range of environments. Against a theoretical backdrop influenced by social psychology rather than individual pathology, The Psychology of Interpersonal Violence identifies and explores the myriad forms of violent acts that occur between individuals in contemporary society. The book begins by exploring everyday violence, addressing such pervasive behaviours as school and workplace bullying, forms of sexual harassment, animal cruelty, and even aggressive driving. Hollin also considers the violence (often hidden) that occurs against children or partners in a family home. Finally, the most serious acts of criminal violence, such as robbery and murder, and aggressive acts with a sexual element are examined. A concluding chapter reflects on the strength of the ways in which we understand interpersonal violence and offers suggestions for future research that can lead to the prevention or reduction of incidents of violent behaviour. The Psychology of Interpersonal Violence is an invaluable resource for students, and for our current understanding of the causes and effects of acts of interpersonal violence in today's world.
