IN THIS CHAPTER

Labeling various types of homicide

Looking at other violent crimes, including assault, rape, robbery, and kidnapping

Considering some causes of violence

Ever since Cain snuck up behind his brother Abel, violence has been a part of the human condition. This fact isn’t exactly a source of pride, but you can’t deny it — any more than you can deny the fact that, as humans, you and I experience anger, jealousy, acne, and bad breath.

No human character trait has caused more misery and grief than mankind’s propensity for violence. In this chapter, I show you how violence manifests itself in criminal activity, and I walk you through the most common causes of that violence.
