Originally published in 1986, this is a nonscientific book about science. It is concerned with the relationships among social science, journalism, public information, and public policy. Reporting Science: The Case of Aggression explores some of the obstacles - and suggestions for overcoming them - to the mutual exchange of information when that information concerns research and theory on a sensitive issue, in this instance, violence.
