Manuel Eisner

Manuel Eisner is a Professor of Comparative and Developmental Criminology, researching the history of interpersonal violence. In 2014 he is the Deputy Director of the University of Cambridge Institute of Criminology. Eisner conducted an inventive study on levels of homicide throughout Europe over a period of 800 years. He found out that violence and homicide are declining in Europe. His research has highlighted the ways in which cultural models of conduct of life, embedded in social institutions, have shaped patterns of daily behaviour among adolescent and young adult men, which in turn influenced the likelihood of frictions leading to aggressive behaviour. He is also recognized for his studies on the developmental causes of crime and delinquency, and advocates the effectiveness of early prevention during childhood.
