add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the anatomy of violence. While crime is an old phenomenon, its scientific study is relatively new; and the study of the basic causes of violent behavior is newer still. One set of answers being given by the study of fighting and aggression in lower animals, from which an intriguing picture of normal animal social life is emerging. For example, wolves have bee traditionally pictured as bloodthirsty slavering beasts, but the field studies of researcher Adolph Murie in Alaska show that the home life of a pack of wolves is a delightful affair, the group co-operating peacefully to obtain food, feed their young and keep off other predators.
