Using the algebra of aggression in forensic practice
Edwin Megargee
(Florida State University, USA)
Abstract
A conceptual framework for the analysis of aggressive behaviour is described that takes into account both psychological and physiological determinants as well as both personal and situational factors. The system should assist forensic practitioners in making diagnostic and predictive assessments of violent offenders and in formulating individual management and treatment plans.
