Sinopsis
As scientists at the frontiers of neuroscience are discovering, violent behaviour is not simply a result of poverty or "moral decline", but is also located in the way our brains work. This text therefore examines violence from a biological perspective.

Reseña del editor
There has been a revolution in neuroscience over the last ten years, and, as Debra Niehoff shows in the first book to examine violence from a complete biological perspective, now is the right time to consider how we are going to use the achievements of that revolution to reduce the level of violence in our society. Niehoff brings together a wide range of research to show that we understand behavior in a totally unprecedented way, and that our ability to control violence effectively has never been greater. The awful consequences of violence for victims and perpetrators are not an outcome we have to accept. The vicious circle that connects bad genes, bad environment, and bad brain chemistry in a kind of feedback loop can be broken. As Niehoff shows, creating a caring, safe social environment is almost always the first step in halting the train of aggression.
Reseña del editor
Violent behavior isn't simply a result of poverty, moral decline, or bad parenting; its roots lie in the way our brains work. That is what scientists at the frontiers of neuroscience are discovering as they learn more about the brain.The first book to examine violence from a complete biological perspective, The Biology of Violence does more than settle the nature vs. nurture debate; it supersedes it. Debra Niehoff explains that the biology of behavior is not a genetic program but a process -- a lifelong dialogue between the brain and the environment. Behavior actually changes our brain chemistry. Biology does not mean that we are or are not born bad; it means we are born vulnerable."Get tough" policies are today's solution to the epidemic of violence. But harsh punishment isn't the answer. Niehoff explains that neuroscience, including new drug therapies, offers cheap, effective ways to break the vicious cycles of nature and nurture that threaten our lives. This provocative book challenges us to live up to the opportunities that our scientific understanding of the mind has presented, and to institute policies that work with human nature -- not against it -- to change perpetrators and heal victims.
