International handbook of violence research ( Book )
12 editions published between 2003 and 2005 in English and held by 247 libraries worldwide
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. This important handbook: *brings.

4 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 151 libraries worldwide
"How and why do people become perpetrators and victims of violence? In youth violence, what roles are played by public spaces, the institutional context, socialization processes, religion and other kinds of ideologies, and, more generally, the experience of social disintegration? Are there global commonalities with regard to programs for preventing and intervening in youth crime? A look at the global trends of youth crime and violence and the development of social conditions for young people worldwide shows the importance of finding answers to these questions. This volume of New Directions for Youth Development examines violent behavior and addresses these questions in an international context."--BOOK JACKET.

Internationales Handbuch der Gewaltforschung ( Book )
3 editions published in 2002 in German and held by 122 libraries worldwide
Die Forschung zur Gewalt in modernen westlichen Gesellschaften hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Die Erklärungen dafür sind zahlreich: tatsächlicher Anstieg bei bestimmten Gewaltvarianten, neue Sensibilitäten, Rückkehr alter Gewaltformen, Verlagerung von Gewalt in andere gesellschaftliche Bereiche etc. Bisher fehlt jedoch ein systematischer Überblick über die tatsächlichen Entwicklungen. Das vorliegende Handbuch informiert umfassend über Gewalt als soziales Phänomen. Dabei wird fast allen Facetten dieses Themas Rechnung getragen: - Sozialstrukturelle Verhältnisse und Gewalt - Sozialisation und Lernen von Gewalt - Gewalterfahrungen und Gewalttätigkeit - Gewaltopfer - Gewalt in gesellschaftlichen Institutionen - Gewalt durch politische Gruppen - Gewaltdiskurse etc. In 62 Artikeln von Autorinnen und Autoren aus zehn Ländern liefert der Band ein komplexes, transdisziplinäres Bild eines Forschungsfeldes zwischen Ordnung, Zerstörung und Macht.
