SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — Professor Lonnie Athens, the author of three books on violent criminals and violent acts, will lecture during a symposium on Wednesday, March 15, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge, Room 210, of the University Center, Seton Hall University, 400 South Orange Ave., South Orange. All are welcome to attend.
How are violent criminals created? How are attempted and completed violent criminal acts committed, and how are the communities in which these crimes most and least often occur organized? These questions are addressed by a theory called “violentization,” developed by Athens, and he will discuss it in depth.
The symposium will feature the following speakers and presentations: symposium moderator Jeffrey Togman, chair of the Department of Criminal Justice; “The Milestones and Paradoxes of The Creation of Dangerous Violent Criminals” by Athens; “Society and Violentization: A Critical Theory” by Giuseppina Cersosimo, associate professor of sociology at the University of Salerno, Italy; and “A Visual Representation of Violentization Theory” by Giuseppe M. Fazari, assistant dean, Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies.
