Abstract
Three indicators of research and teaching were examined to assess empirically the degree of academic focus upon four specific forms of violence: interpersonal violence within families, drunk driving, violent white-collar offenses and involuntary smoking. Possible explanations for the relative neglect of these pervasive forms of violence is proposed. It is argued that criminal justice academicians must reconceptualize violence in broader terms that will direct teaching and research toward all forms of violence in our society.
