(i) just what type of violence is being discussed? War, assault,
torture, hate crimes, etc? The literature in recent years has
branched off to address these in singe form, as the complex of
factors that lead to them is different, and some areas are better
understood than others. (ie, serial killers can be labeled mentally
ill in most cases, but perfectly sane people commit hate crimes)
(ii) again, I must please beg of you not to immediately cast all
violence into the catagory of neurochemical causes, as to
predetermine that all violence is caused by mental chemical imbalance
automatically shuts off other avenues of dealing with it.
