Violence : Its Nature, Causes and Remedies (Connexions) by Colin Ward

It’s a moot point whether or not we live at the most violent time in history. Other generations have had their vandals, race riots and war atrocities. But certainly no other age has worried so much about violence. To judge from the news media alone, it would seem to be simultaneously our favourite hobby and our chief fear. But, as Colin Ward points out, it needs more than a horror of violence to get rid of it. Violence is built into the very structure of our society, and won’t be eliminated until that structure is changed. And will it be possible even then? The line between violence and the sort of ferocious energy that is displayed by young children, say, is very thin. Colin Ward, having spent most of his life cultivating a healthy disrespect for politicians, is especially well qualified to write this book. He left school at fifteen, spent five years in the army, fifteen in an architect’s office, and is now Lecturer in Liberal Studies in a London Technical College. He is a frequent broadcaster and a well-known contributor to radical magazines. Connexions : a series of topic books for students in schools and colleges of further education.
