This insightful textbook asks the question: How do otherwise considerate human beings do cruel things and still live in peace with themselves? Dr. Bandura provides a definitive exposition of the psychosocial mechanism by which people selectively disengage their moral self-sanctions from their harmful conduct. They do so by sanctifying their harmful behaviour as serving worthy causes; absolving themselves of blame; minimizing the harmful effects of their actions; dehumanizing those they maltreat, and blaming them for bringing the suffering on themselves.
Dr. Bandura's theory of moral disengagement is uniquely broad in scope. Theories of morality focus almost exclusively at the individual level. He insightfully extends the disengagement of morality to the social-system level through which wide-spread inhumanities are perpetrated. This masterwork by one of the most influential psychologists and thinkers of our time is important reading for all Psychology students and is particularly relevant for Social Psychology courses.

- Addresses moral disengagement in all aspects of the death penalty-from public policy debates, to jury decisions, to the processes of execution
- Explores the social and moral justifications of major industries-including gun manufacturers, the entertainment industry, tobacco companies, and the world of "too big to fail" finance
- Discusses moral disengagement in terrorism, and how terrorists rationalize the use of violence as a means of social change
- Offers insights on climate change denial, and the strenuous efforts by some to dispute the overwhelming scientific consensus affirming the impact of human behaviour on the environment.
