Reviews
“The essays of Framing Excessive Violence are timely, helping readers make sense of the (seemingly) unfamiliar violence of 2016. And the paradox that the volume identifies – that excessive violence transgresses social and moral codes and yet eventually becomes tamed by them – is provocative and worth further exploration.” (Jared Del Rosso, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, January, 2017)
'In documenting just how extreme violence has its origins in the expressive, emotive and symbolic this impressive collection decisively moves research forward. Individually the essays interrogate the situational, personal, and shared discursive contexts through which agents arrive at interpretations; read together they hint a synthesis might be just around the corner.' - Philip Smith, Yale University, USA, author of Why War? and Punishment and CultureEditors and Affiliations
