Description
Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic
This thought-provoking book explores the complex motivations behind violent crime, delving into the role of shame and its devastating consequences. Drawing on his experience as a prison psychiatrist, the author sheds light on why our current penal system often exacerbates the problem.
With harrowing portraits of individuals who have committed heinous crimes, Gilligan presents a compelling argument for change. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of violence and its far-reaching impact.
