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
and harassment; and high intensity aggression, e.g. mobs and gangs.
In a final section, he considers management and intervention techniques,
both widely employed and emerging methods.
The Psychology
of Group Aggression is an important work for both a pure
and an applied audience. It 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.
