People in groups act aggressively as a group, not as a collection
of individuals. The Psychology of Group Aggression’s comprehensive
journey starts with group dynamics theory and research by reviewing
its relationship to aggression.
Arnold P. Goldstein then provides a unique and valuable insight
into the different types and levels of intensity of anti-social
behavior, examines its causes and considers its costs. In separate
chapters he considers low intensity aggression, including
ostracism, hazing, teasing; mid-intensity, e.g. bullying,
harassment; and high intensity aggression e.g. mobs and gangs. In a
final section, he considers management and intervention techniques,
both those widely employed and emerging methods.
An important work for both a pure and an applied audience, this
will be a key reference for many, including clinical and forensic
psychologists, psychiatrists, criminal justice workers, social
psychologists and academics and students in criminology, psychology
and sociology.
