FROM THE PREFACE: “n some 200 years of national sovereignty, Americans have been preoccupied repeatedly with trying to understand and control one form of violence or another. Most periods of our history bear witness to substantial collective violence. On the road to collective bargaining and peaceful picketing, there was much violent conflict. The more rural settlements around mines were often the scene of bloody conflict, and urban industrial conflict carried with it violence on the picket lines and the destruction of company property. Perhaps the major success story in control of collective violence is the substitution of peaceful for violent means in resolving conflicts between labor and management. Urban riots are part and parcel of our history from late colonial times. In the latter half of this century, ethnic and racial tensions have erupted in urban riots, destroying life and neighborhoods of some of our major cities. Responding to urban riots in the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (known as the Kerner Commission after its chair, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner), which issued its report in 1968. The report focused both on how local community and national action can deal with immediate responses to riot and on long-range prevention through the reduction of inequality in housing, education, welfare…”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “From the outset, it was intended to provide maximum security in that patients were to be prevented from escaping. Some of the precautions that were part of "maximum security" in the early days were learned from other institutions, and were incorporated into the architecture and the hospital routine from the beginning. In the early years there were some escapes and some suicides, which led to such increases in security as safety screens for windows, posting staff around the yard, guardhouses, lear gas guns, and reduction of the size of the outside work gang.

As in most maximum security psychiatric facilities, the patients in Oak Ridge today are a diverse group. Some of them have only been sent on a warrant of remand for 30 or 60 days for an assessment prior to retuming to court…”

FROM THE COVER: In recent years, examples of violence and aggression-prison riois, bombings, terrorist

attacks, assassinations-have been widespread, and today I out of every 10,000 deaths in the United States is the result of murder. Yet, despite the presence of violence everywhere, who really understands it or knows what to do about it? Why are people aggressive? What leads them to murder? Why do parents abuse their children? Is violent behavior instinctive or learned? How should violent individuals be Irealcel? Can violence be predicted, controlled, or-belter yet-prevented? This new book investigates these and other pertinent questions.”

By Barbara A. Rockell

FROM THE COVER: “ Barbara Rockell's beautifully readable book offers representative narratives of the careers of women who gravitate through the revolving doors of our jails. In these "bittersweet" accounts Rockell highlights heretofore neglected observations drawn from the lives of these women, such as the fact that one "witnesses] among them choice; rationality; and, more important, a great deal of resilience." Although Rockell's monograph includes painstaking reviews of the published scholarship in sociology, women's studies, and criminology, her perspective is both original and credible, and this combination makes her book not only a great read but a refreshing source of ideas and an indispensable addendum to the literature.” -Hans Toch, PhD, Distinguished Professor, University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany

FROM THE JACKET: “It is far more likely that a woman will be assaulted, raped, or killed by her husband than by a stranger. Yet a maltreated wife is left to struggle alone because of widespread be lies that the sanctity and privacy of marriage must not be intruded upon, that the husband has certain "rights," or that the woman her self may be at fault. This book thoroughly documents the fact that violence in the home is systematically and disproportionately directed against women, and it demonstrates that wife-beating is a form of the husband's control and domina• tion through a socially approved marital hierarchy. Unlike more narrow investigations of "domestic violence." it places the phenomenon of wife-beating firmly in its social and historical context. The authors make a case against patriarchy itself, and against its sup port in the helping professions, police, courtrooms, and hospitals.”

The authors give a grim but illuminating account of patriarchal beliefs and practices in Roman, Anglo Saxon, and American traditions that have supported the right of a husband to dominate and chastise his wife. (As recently as 1853, a reform-minded legislator found it necessary to propose to the English House of Commons that married women should be treated no worse than domestic animals.)…”

By Anne Campbell

FROM THE JACKET: “Why are men more aggressive than women? To find out, psychologist and criminologist Anne Campbell listened to the voices of ordinary men and women, as well as people for whom aggression is a central fact of life--robbers and gang members. The answer, she argues, lies not only in biology or in child rearing but in how men and women form opinions about their own aggression. Women believe their aggression results from a loss of self-control, while men see their behavior as a means of gaining control over others. Daughters are deeply ashamed when they get angry, but sons learn to associate aggression with integrity, courage, and triumph.

Campbell shows how men's and women's different views of anger and restraint profoundly affect their actions--from rage in marriage to violence in the streets--and what this means for us all. The misreading of the meaning of aggression drives a wedge between the sexes, affecting everything from their ability to communicate with each other to the way that traditionally male-dominated spheres such as law or medicine pathologize and punish women's aggression.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “Most Americans favor capital punishment. The reasons vary, but many proponents of the death penalty believe that executions prevent murder. Capital punishment, for them, is an antidote to homicide. Simple vengeance is enough for others, who insist that killers should suffer the ultimate penalty for their grievous crimes. A few adopt the pose of the cool, detached pragmatist. They contend that the death penalty pays its own way by eliminating hardened and unrepentant offenders. These dead men, however dangerous in life, commit no more crimes. Whatever the real or imagined merits of capital punishment, no rationale for the death penalty demands warehousing of prisoners under sentence of death. The punishment is death and nothing more. There is neither a mandate nor a justification for inhumane confinement prior to imposition of sentence. Yet warehousing for death, of an empty and sometimes brutal nature, is the universal fate of condemned prisoners. The enormous suffering caused by this human warehousing, rendered in the words of the prisoners themselves, is the subject of this book.”
