Soendemic are violence and aggression to our society that it isn'thard to imagine future historians categorizing the late twentiethcentury not as the \"Space Age\" or the \"Information Age,\" but as the\"Antisocial Age\"--the time when society went to war against itself.As with any plague that threatens civilization, the first and bestline of defense against antisocial behavior is the knowledge thatcomes from dedicated scientific research into its causes andcures.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Does violence on the screen cause violence in the street?\u003cbr\u003e * Do hormones cause violence?\u003cbr\u003e * Can we prevent violence?\u003cbr\u003e * Is antisocial behavior a mental illness?\u003cbr\u003e * How can we identify and measure antisocial behavior?\u003cbr\u003e * How are women and men similar and different with respect toantisocial behavior?\u003cbr\u003e * How can we better understand spouse and child abuse?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the latter part of this century, an increasingly vigorous andsophisticated scientific study of antisocial behavior has emerged.This new science has offered partial answers to some very importantquestions which will lead to better understanding and prevention ofantisocial behavior.
