Beskrivelse
Criminologists have known for decades that income inequality is the best predictor of the local homicide rate, but why this is so has eluded them. There is a simple, compelling answer: most homicides are the denouements of competitive interactions between men. Relatively speaking, where desired goods are distributed inequitably and competition for those goods is severe, dangerous tactics of competition are appealing and a high homicide rate is just one of many unfortunate consequences. Killing the Competition is about this relationship between economic inequality and lethal interpersonal violence.Suggesting that economic inequality is a cause of social problems and violence elicits fierce opposition from inequality''s beneficiaries. Three main arguments have been presented by those who would acquit inequality of the charges against it: that "absolute" poverty is the real problem and inequality is just an incidental correlate; that "primitive" egalitarian societies have surprisingly high homicide rates, and that inequality and homicide rates do not change in synchrony and are therefore mutually irrelevant. With detailed but accessible data analyses and thorough reviews of relevant research, Martin Daly dispels all three arguments.Killing the Competition applies basic principles of behavioural biology to explain why killers are usually men, not women, and counters the view that attitudes and values prevailing in "cultures of violence" make change impossible.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag vitenskapen bak vold: Killing The Competition Av Martin Daly

Er du nysgjerrig på hvordan inntektsforskjeller påvirker voldsnivået i samfunnet? I boken Killing The Competition av Martin Daly, får du en dypere forståelse av dette komplekse forholdet. Daly bruker sin bakgrunn innen kriminologi til å avdekke hvordan konkurranse mellom menn kan føre til alvorlige konsekvenser og, i verste fall, homicides.

Hva handler Killing The Competition om?

  • Inntektsulikhet som en faktor: Boken viser hvordan økonomisk ulikhet er en av de beste prediktorer for lokale drapsrater.
  • Adferdsbiologi i fokus: Daly utforsker hvorfor drapsmenn i størst grad er menn og ikke kvinner, og hvordan deres handlinger er et produkt av kulturelle og biologiske faktorer.
  • Motargumenter imøtegått: Daly avkrefter påstandene om at absolutt fattigdom eller primitive samfunn forklarer høye drapsrater.

Hvorfor lese Killing The Competition?

Killing The Competition gir ikke bare en ny forståelse av vold og kriminalitet, men utfordrer også eksisterende myter om ulikhet og dens konsekvenser. Med lettfattelig dataanalyse og grundige litteraturgjennomganger, forbereder Daly leseren på en tankevekkende reise gjennom kriminalitetens psykologi.
