The authors present a multi-disciplinary account of human aggression and violence, considering key contributions from a range of scientific fields. They discuss the neurological basis of aggression, major psychological theories and findings, and relevant philosophical issues, examining in detail up-to-date research on neonaticide (the killing of newborn babies), intimicide (the killing of intimate partners), amok, and hooliganism.
