Why are we so drawn to evil? Whether it's newspapers obsessed with the most vicious criminal deeds, or the violence that pervades pop culture, evil acts and characters seem unavoidably compelling. In this book a criminal psychologist explores evil and our obsession with it and presents a highly readable analysis that is grounded in a wide range of research. Drawing on case studies from academia, everyday anecdotes, and pop culture examples, this book analyzes and breaks down issues like bloodlust, revenge, and even the everyday evils of workplace misbehavior.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
