Description
This revised and updated edition of Violence and Society provides a contemporary overview of violence in society. Larry Ray offers a broad coverage of theoretical debates through case studies from his extensive research, using a sociological approach to explore key topics such as gender and violence, collective violence, and the impact of media on violence.
New to this edition are three new chapters: Collective Violence, Violence and the Visual, and Theories of Violence. Additionally, material has been added on sex offending and the night-time economy. This book features learning features in each chapter and an 'at-a-glance' overview within the introduction.
