Why We Hate

In this in-depth look at the most troubling aspect of human nature, a prominent, nationally recognised criminologist, who is a leader in his field, and a respected sociologist seek to explain why hate exists and offer practical methods for creating a more peaceable society. Both enlightening and insightful, this momentous and timely work offers hope that civilised human beings can come to grips with an age-old problem.

Gordana Rabrenovic is associate professor of sociology at Northeastern University and the associate director of the Brudnick Center on Violence and Conflict.
