It covers a whole host of aggressive crimes from a very thoughtful and gender-informed perspective. This book is an absolute necessity for professionals working with or researching women who have offended. I've no doubt that this book is a landmark text which will springboard important future research and practice in this area.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Professor Theresa A. Gannon, University of Kent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Helen Gavin and Theresa Porter have written a brave and uncompromising book, one that is scholarly, firm, careful, and a bit daunting. They challenge our most cherished feminist beliefs about women as the more compassionate, cooperative, 'maternal,' and non-violent of the genders. Clearly, they are not only writing about teenage 'mean girls'; the authors are weighing the research on women, including mothers, who abuse and neglect children; batter their partners, both male and female, sexually assault (or join in group sexual assaults) of women, kill their babies, kill other adults. They refuse to minimize the importance of female aggression only because men are more violent and, to their credit, Gavin and Porter critique others for doing so. And why? Because the  authors  have treatment goals in mind, ways of helping anti-social mothers and\/or of rescuing their children. An entirely laudable endeavor. \u003c\/p\u003e This is a serious work and demands that the reader drop many preconceptions in order to benefit from the material presented. Brava for taking on this painful, difficult and important subject.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Phyllis Chesler, Author of \u003ci\u003eWomen and Madness\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWoman’s Inhumanity to Woman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eHelen Gavin (Author), Theresa Porter (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9780470975480, Wiley\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback, published 5 December 2014\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e240 pages\u003cbr\u003e22.6 x 15.2 x 1.3 cm, 0.295 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis critique explodes the stereotypical assumption that men are more prone than women to aggression\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA cogent and holistic assessment of the theoretical positions and research concerning female aggression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the treatment, punishment and community response to female aggressive behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines topics including sexual power, serial murder and the evolution of gendered aggression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTreats female aggression in its own right rather than as a counterpart to male violence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface ix \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Theories, Research and Misconceptions about Female Aggression 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAggression and Women 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eViolent Crime and Women 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheories of Aggression 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheories based on biological difference 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvironmental factors 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePsychological models 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasuring aggression 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 The Evolution of Aggression 29\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDarwinism and Sociobiology 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Naked Ape – Was She in the Jungle or the Sea?
