- More about Neurobiopsychosocial Perspectives on Aggression and Violence: From Biology to Law Enforcement
This book bridges the gap between basic science and law enforcement, comparing and integrating the concept of aggression with violent crime. It examines the types of criminal careers that cross the boundary between the two and discusses the biological, psychological, and social factors that underlie particular types of criminal careers. It also discusses the relationship between social problems and neuropsychological deficits and explores violence and aggression from a neurobiological perspective.

This comprehensive book serves as a vital bridge between basic science, which delves into the fundamental concepts of aggression and its neurobiological underpinnings, and law enforcement, which represents one of the applied domains of aggression research. It comprehensively addresses the current state of research and practice, comparing and integrating the concept of aggression with violent crime. The book is organized into chapters that examine the various types of criminal careers that straddle the boundary between aggression and violent crime, summarizing the biological, psychological, and social factors that underpin these distinct career paths. Subsequent chapters delve into the overlaps between biological and psychological factors, exploring how aggression may serve as explanatory mechanisms for violence. Additionally, the book explores the relationship between social problems and neuropsychological deficits, shedding light on how these deficits contribute to the intergenerational recycling of social issues. Finally, the volume takes a neurobiological perspective on violence and aggression, offering insightful insights into the biological mechanisms that underpin these behaviors.
Topics covered in this book include:
The heritability of aggressiveness and violence-proneness: Understanding the genetic factors that contribute to individual differences in aggression and violence-proneness is crucial for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies.
Glucocorticoids in humans: Glucocorticoids, a class of hormones, play a significant role in regulating stress responses and have been linked to aggression and violence. This chapter explores the role of glucocorticoids in human behavior, including their effects on brain function and behavior.
Aggression circuitry in animals: Animals, including humans, have specialized brain circuits that are involved in aggression and violence. This chapter examines the biological mechanisms that underlie aggression circuitry in animals, including the role of neurotransmitters and hormones.
Distorted circuitry in violent animals: Violent animals, such as dogs and cats, exhibit distorted aggression circuitry that may contribute to their aggressive behavior. This chapter explores the neural and genetic factors that may contribute to distorted aggression circuitry in violent animals.
Biological factors of psychological change: Psychological changes, including aggression and violence, are influenced by a wide range of biological factors, including genetics, brain development, and environmental factors. This chapter explores the biological factors that contribute to psychological change, including the role of epigenetics and neuroplasticity.
Neurobiopsychosocial Perspectives on Aggression and Violence: This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the neurobiopsychosocial perspectives on aggression and violence. It explores the interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to aggression and violence, including the role of socialization, trauma, and cultural factors.
This book is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and other professionals working in the fields of forensic psychology, criminology/criminal justice, public health, developmental psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, educational policy and politics, health psychology, nursing, and behavioral therapy/rehabilitation. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding aggression and violence, providing insights into the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to these behaviors. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines, this book enables professionals to develop more effective interventions and strategies for addressing aggression and violence in a variety of contexts.
