Overview

We have many stereotypes about what torture looks like. Reminding us that torture did not just occur during the Medieval Period, this book on human torture begins with a specific description of what elements define the act of torture. The author discusses the effects of torture on both the victim and the torturer, including references to psychological experiments that gave researchers insight into the torturer psyche. The book also gives descriptions of conventions and international pacts within the past century, as well as steps that are being taken today to prevent torture and to treat torture victims.
