| Summary / Abstract (Note) | After summarising the evidence about the surge in violent crime that afflicted the industrialised West from the 1960s to the 1990s, Guido G Preparata reviews the principal explanations advanced by scholars. He construes the crime wave as a singular release of violent energy related to an epochal/generational break, due to the condition of economic and political bodies. |
