Suicides and homicides continue at unacceptably high rates, particularly in younger age groups and lower-income countries, while the fate of humankind depends on its ability to curb its own collective violence. Historically, the study of violence has been fragmented across disparate fields of study with little cross-disciplinary collaboration, thus creating a roadblock to decoding the underlying processes that give rise to violence and hindering efforts in research and prevention. \u003ci\u003eViolence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures \u003c\/i\u003eassembles and organizes current information into one comprehensive volume, introducing students to the multiple sectors, disciplines, and practices that collectively comprise the study of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis innovative textbook presents a unified perspective that integrates the sociological, biological, politico-economic, structural, and environmental underpinnings of violence.
