The New Evil: The Characteristics of Violent Crimes and the Motivations of Those Who Commit Them
19.99 €
Michael G. Stone is known as the developer of the 22-level "Scale of Evil," which includes self-defense murders, crimes of passion, jealousy murders, crimes committed by psychopaths, and more. Stone talks about the biological and psychiatric factors behind serial murder, cannibalism, rape, torture, mass murder and other forms of violence. He argues that the decline of moral values in society, including an increase in the number of families where children grow up without a father, causes an increase in the prevalence of certain types of crime as narcissistic psychopaths are deprived of any restraints. Stone discusses how new technologies as well as sociological, cultural, and historical factors have influenced the formation of the "new evil." He explains how personality traits, psychosis, and other characteristics condition the motives of criminals and drive them to commit offenses. Relying on his impressive clinical experience, the expert talks about the causes of criminal behavior and expresses hope that in the future the number of violent crimes can be reduced. Stone does not offer specific solutions to the problems, but notes the dangers of a culture that is "gradually becoming more crude, relaxed, immoral and selfish." He emphasizes the importance of personal choice and self-control: "The growing tendency to blame external forces for everything is actually a hallmark of the narcissism that is now widespread."
