The science of evil / Baron-Cohen, Simon

The author examines how the so-called empathy circuit in the brain works in an attempt to understand the difference between those who exhibit lack of empathy, such as autistic people, but manage to function within society without violence, and violent individuals. In addition, he argues that social and environmental factors are just as important factors in violent behavior as biological ones.
