Hunters vs criminals

In Erich Fromm's benchmark book "The Anatomy of Human
Destructiveness", he states that "the behavioural patterns and
neurological processes in predatory aggression are not analogous to
the other types of animal aggression." He finds they are in fact
closer to the biochemistry of pleasure and joy.

In Fromm's studies of aggression he concludes that the motives of
hunters are psychologically very different from those of criminals and
finds that hunters tend to be peaceful people.
