Violent Offenders and Their Victims is a holistic and human exploration of the nature of violence and its genesis. Chad C. Breckenridge provides a complete psychoanalytic, child developmental, and neurobehavioral understanding of empathic failure and violence. Breckenridge reviews current thinking about the criminal personality from both a psychological and sociological perspective and provides a foundation for the possibility of change and growth in offenders.

Industry Reviews
Dr. Breckenridge offers the reader intimate, painful and deeply moving access to the minds of violent offenders, and a profound appreciation for the power of restorative justice experiences. He identified two essential constructs—empathy and understanding—and in the process of asking offenders to understand their victims, and victim families, he allows us to better understand these offenders' tragic pathways to crime. In our current criminal justice system, revenge dominates over rehabilitation. And yet, reading offenders' stories reinforces compelling research about the life altering effects of early adverse experiences. This book is a valuable asset for examining why people offend violently, and how society can reclaim members and rebuild community.
