This volume provides a concise yet thorough and extensive account of the main explanations of violent behaviour. It draws upon sociological and psychological perspectives on violence as part of a coherent approach to the study of a phenomenon that raises wide public concern. There is also a focus on the ways in which violence is considered by the criminal justice system. Definitions of the main violent offences, including violent sexual offences, are discussed and some indication of the levels of sentencing in particular cases is provided. The final chapter then considers ways in which offenders are able to confront their violent behaviour within the criminal justice system. Frequent references to the definitions and treatment of violence in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA give the book a distinctive comparative perspective.

On April 19, 1995, in Oklahoma City, a bomb went off outside the Murrah Federal Building. 168 people, many of them children, were killed, & hundreds of other were wounded. It was the worst case of domestic terrorism in the history of the U.S. Timothy McVeigh & Terry Nichols were arrested & accused of being the only two involved in this crime. But Jones reveals what really happened, before & after. He reveals a tangled web of conspirators, including possible links between Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden & Terry Nichols. He also shows how the U.S. government worked to prevent the true story from emerging -- & that the government may have had prior knowledge about the attack.

Frederic, Lord Leighton: Eminent Victorian Artist

The first time Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) showed a picture at the Royal Academy in London, Queen Victoria bought it. This eminent painter and sculptor went on to become president of the Royal Academy and was the fist artist to be made a lord. Now, one hundred years after his death, the Royal Academy is honoring him with a major retrospective exhibition, for which this book serves as the catalogue. Although his oeuvre runs the gamut of Victorian themes - landscapes, portraits, genre paintings, and classical subjects - Leighton is most renowned for his masterly figure paintings, which he infused with a pulsing sensuality. Leighton always put his own imprint on his work: his gorgeously costumed figures were painted with bravura and with a skill that bespoke his many years of training. His famous Flaming June, with its alluring subject barely clothed in a sheer apricot gown, is characteristic of his mature work - vibrant, sexy, and evocative. Leighton's life was as intriguing as his art. Born into a well-to-do English family, Leighton studied widely on the Continent, ceaselessly visiting museums and palaces. He traveled wherever great art was to be found: down the Nile, in Italy, in North Africa, in Syria. His work and his home reflected his taste for the exotic: Arabic tiles decorated his walls; gowns from Turkey and Syria clothed his models. Many surprising facets of this grand Victorian - including his friendship with the Brownings - emerge in the astute essays by leading experts on Leighton and his nineteenth-century European milieu.
