More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of homicidal threats from rare incidents to a significant societal issue, the book examines how these threats are communicated and their implications. Drawing on data from the Stalking and Violence Project and events like the Virginia Tech massacre, Stephen Morewitz delves into the profiles of individuals—primarily men—who issue threats against various targets, including partners and institutions, highlighting the psychological and social factors involved.
