Violent Offenders and Their Victims is a holistic and human exploration of the nature of violence and its genesis. Chad C. Breckenridge provides a complete psychoanalytic, child developmental, and neurobehavioral understanding of empathic failure and violence. Breckenridge reviews current thinking about the criminal personality from both a psychological and sociological perspective and provides a foundation for the possibility of change and growth in offenders.
