      abstract = {"What motivates violence? How can good and compassionate  people hurt and kill others, or themselves? Why are people  much more likely to kill or assault people they know well,  rather than strangers? This ... book shows that people  mostly commit violence because they genuinely feel that it  is the morally right thing to do. In perpetrators' minds,  violence may be the morally necessary and proper way to  regulate social relationships according to cultural  precepts, precedents and prototypes. These moral  motivations apply equally to the violence of the heroes of  the Iliad, to parents smacking their child, and many modern  murders and everyday acts of violence. Virtuous Violence  presents a wide-ranging exploration of violence across  different cultures and historical eras, demonstrating how  people feel obligated to violently create, sustain, end,  and honor social relationships in order to make them right,  according to morally motivated cultural ideals"--},
