Death Threats and Violence analyzes the meaning and impact of homicidal threats, the means by which they are communicated, and their development from infrequent private occurrence to ongoing social problem. Using data from the Stalking and Violence Project and recent events including the Virginia Tech massacre, Stephen Morewitz explores the lives of the men (and to a lesser degree, women) who make threats against their partners, strangers, social groups, and institutions. By balancing individual variables against the larger context of social norms and controls, this book offers a well-rounded assessment of death threats and their role in domestic and public violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the topics included: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal and societal risk factors of threat makers and their victims.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePossible links between stalking, death threats, and homicide.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe enabling functions of substance abuse and access to weapons.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisk factors for partner-, school- and workplace-related death threats.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychological and social effects of death threats on victims and their families.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaw enforcement and legal system responses to death threats, particularly in comparison with offenders who do not make them.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath threats as used in hate crimes, terrorism, and war.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDeath Threats and Violence is an up-to-the-minute work of particular interest to general and forensic psychologists, clinical social workers, criminal justice and health professionals and those studying the current social climate in which such threats are prevalent. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277282173079,"sku":"9781441926319","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441926319.webp?v=1769287963","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/death-threats-and-violence-new-research-and-clinical-perspectives-9781441926319","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
