First sentence: We are witnessing two dangerous phenomena: On the one hand there is a growing incidence of sociopathic antisocial behavior, and on the other hand an increasing lack of concern coupled with an attitude of moral apathy.
Description: "The rise in sociopathic behavior among adults, adolescents, and children, whether in tense inner cities or tranquil suburban and rural settings, is chronicled by Dr. Wolman, a leading psychologist and noted expert who has studied these trends for over half a century. Reports point to a showdown between dangerous individuals - the violent, the charming, and the passive - and the societies that create them."--BOOK JACKET.

"Dr. Wolman examines the familial and societal causes and proposes clear-cut solutions, including radical changes to our educational systems and the mass media. He explores the social and cultural factors that must be changed if free societies are to reduce this alarming trend."--BOOK JACKET.
