Understanding and Dealing with Violence: A Multicultural Approach

As the first edited volume to offer a multicultural approach to violence, this book examines the role of cultural, social and historical factors in the manifestation and perpetuation of the cycle of violence. Issues examined include hate crimes against various minority groups and violence against women. Chapters consider the resultant need for models of intervention. The book will be of interest to students and academics in psychology, education and sociology and also courses in peace studies or conflict resolution.
