Special issue introduction

Abstract

The collection of twelve papers in this special issue address the broad issue of risk factors and aggression using a variety of theoretical perspectives, data sources, and methodologies, doing so in a cross-national context. Topics cover relational aggression, gene-environment interactions, violence in low and middle income countries, truancy intervention and violent offending, and violent misconduct in prison to name a few. I hope you enjoy this collection of articles as much as I enjoyed them.
