Aggression: A Social Learning Analysis (The Prentice-Hall Series in Social Learning Theory)

This text is just one of many of the Bandura must haves as it relates to the study of aggression and aggressive behavior in both adult and youthful offenders.

This is a classic work on the origins of aggression. The social
learning analysis spans a broad range of phenomena including
revolutions, urban strife, protests, crime and correctional
mechanisms, the mass media, enforcement and individual modalities
of aggression and the manifestations thereof.The author believes
that a theory of aggression must explain not only how aggression
patterns develop, but also how it is that some stimulii become
elicitors of aggression while others do not. This book provides
much discussion on classic arguments in the social learning
arena.
