The cultural history of the monster reveals significant features of the metaphor that raise questions about the extent to which justice can be achieved in both the punishment of what are regarded as "monstrous crimes" and the treatment of those who commit such crimes..This book is the first to address the connections between the history of the monster metaphor, the 19.th. century idea of the criminal as monster, and the 20.th. century conception of the psychopath: the new monster. The book addresses, in particular, the ways in which the metaphor is used to scapegoat certain categories of crimes and criminals for anxieties about our own potential for deviant, and, indeed, dangerous interests. These interests have long been found to be associated with the fascination people have for monsters in most cultures, including the West..The book outlines an alternative public health approach to sex offending, and crime in general | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | behavior; criminal justice system; forensic psychiatrists; monster; personality disorder; psychologist; ps | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-5279-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9605-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-5279-5Series ISSN 1567-8008 Series E-ISSN 2351-955X | | issn_series | 1567-8008 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 |
