Driven to Kill: Vehicles as Weapons by J. Peter Rothe explores the use of vehicles in various crimes and violent incidents. This book examines the role of cars as murder weapons, assault tools, abduction means, and more. Rothe's research offers valuable insights for professionals in fields such as sociology, criminology, policy-making, law enforcement, public health, injury prevention, and traffic safety. The author's accessible style makes the subject matter engaging and relevant to those interested in car culture and true crime stories. Foreword by Leon James adds context to this thought-provoking study of vehicles in violent crimes.
