"The Anatomy of Violence" (book)

"The Anatomy of Violence" by Adrian Raine explores the biological and environmental factors that contribute to violent behavior. It examines how brain structures, genetics, and neurochemical imbalances can influence tendencies toward violence, alongside personal history and social conditions. The book combines scientific research with case studies to show that violence is often linked to underlying neurological and psychological factors, rather than simply moral failure. Raine advocates for a nuanced understanding of violence, suggesting that addressing brain health and early intervention can help reduce violent acts. It emphasizes that violence is complex, rooted in biology as well as environment.
