Book Synopsis
Why do some conflicts escalate into violence while others dissipate harmlessly? While homicide has been viewed largely in the pathological terms of "crime" and "deviance," violence, the author contends, is a naturally-occurring form of conflict found throughout history and across cultures under certain social conditions.

Trade Review
"Cooney raises fundamental issues concerning the nature of the sociological enterprise in general and of the understanding of violence and conflict within society in particular. [He] is convincing in his demonstration that any understanding of violence and conflict within society must take into account the role of third parties (e.g., relatives, friends, neighbors, strangers, or legal officials) as a force for violence or peace." * Choice *
