Cultural Shaping of Violence
Cultural Shaping of Violence proposes that violence cannot be described, let alone understond or addressed, unless tied to the cultural settings that influence it. This volume documents violence in 22 distinct cultural settings in 17 nation-states on five continents.

In whatever site or guise, violence reverberates throughout the social fabric and beyond.
