Violence

Exploring the psychology behind violent crime, the author draws from personal experience as a prison psychiatrist and literary insights to examine the motivations of men who commit extreme acts of violence. He highlights how shame can drive individuals to murder and ultimately self-destruction, arguing that the current penal system worsens these issues. With powerful and unsettling portrayals of those affected, this work serves as a critical examination of a national epidemic, urging readers to confront the broader societal implications of violence.
