Description
Violence: Reflections on Our Deadliest Epidemic by James Gilligan explores the complex and often destructive nature of violence in society. The author argues that feelings of shame are a key driver of violent and vengeful behaviour, and that conventional approaches to addressing this issue - such as punitive systems based on notions of justice and retribution - can actually perpetuate it. This thought-provoking book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of violence and work towards prevention.
