Book excerpt: Lonnie Athens returns to his pioneering work and enlarges his original explanation of violent crime, constructed from case-by-case analyses of chilling, first-person accounts.

While recounting his journey, he uncovered some deeply rooted problems that still plague the field of criminology.
