Violence and Gender is under the editorial leadership of Mary Ellen O'Toole, PhD, Director, Forensic Science Program, George Mason University; Senior FBI Profiler/Criminal Investigative Analyst (ret.); and experts in psychopathy, criminal investigative analysis, offender behavior, targeted school violence, workplace violence, and threat assessment.
“I spent my career studying the criminal violent mind,” says Dr. O’Toole, “and now gratuitous violence is at an all-time high. This violence is well-planned, lethal, and extremely callous. The offenders are nearly always male. Does gender really make a difference in the commission of violent crime? It's time for a journal to take on this question.”
Audience: Psychologists, sociologists, and mental health experts; behavioral intervention teams; criminologists; threat assessment professionals; educators and school administrators; cultural anthropologists; neurobiologists, endocrinologists, psychopharmacologists, and biology experts; probation, parole, and corrections officers; and law enforcement professionals at federal, state, local, and international agencies, among others.
