About WHY THEY KILL (2017, 58 minutes) |Sangue Films | Written and Directed by Giuseppe M. Fazari, Ph.D.
Why do some men, women, and even children assault, batter, rape, mutilate, and murder?  This age-old question led to the breakthrough research and singular theory which comprehensively explains how violent criminals develop, how violent communities are created and transformed, and how violent acts are committed and prevented.  Based on the critically acclaimed book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Richard Rhodes, WHY THEY KILL is a startling exploration into the four-step "violentization" process that leads some to attack and murder.

Writer and director Giuseppe M. Fazari, Ph.D., is a higher education administrator whose work and teaching in the criminal justice field spanned almost 20 years. A graduate of Seton Hall University, Dr. Fazari was inspired to make the film WHY THEY KILL after reading Mr. Rhodes' compelling account of Dr. Athens' work.
