Reviews'Edited by a world-leading authority, this one-of-a-kind volume is an invaluable resource for all scholars studying how violence develops early in life, and what we can do to stop that progression. Academic books are rarely page-turners, yet this one is. It is at once a heart-rending, educational, and fun read. It has my highest recommendation.' Adrian Raine, Richard Perry University Professor of Criminology, University of Pennsylvania, 'Here is a tale of hardship, resilience, and a series of lucky events. This is a fascinating account of the origins of violent behaviour and the beginnings of those who established the foundation of its study. This book is a tribute to mentorship and collaboration.' Louise Arseneault, Professor of Developmental Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
