Conflict escalates in the Middle East

Rising temperatures impact aggression
Conflict escalates in the Middle East
Seven Canadians are now among the victims of the mounting conflict between Israel and Lebanon. The deaths came during an attack on more than 130 Lebanese targets – Israel’s response to Lebanon’s attack on a main train station in the northern city of Haifa. SFU historian and Middle East expert Bill Cleveland can assess the conflict, the directions it could take, as well as its impact on the potential for peace.

Hell unleashed
Clifford Olson, who brutally murdered 11 children in the early 1980s and then was paid to reveal where he had buried the bodies, goes before a parole board next week. SFU criminologists Neil Boyd and Ray Corrado—who describes Olson as “a full-scale psychopath”—can speak to varying aspects of a case that traumatized a generation of Lower Mainland children and their parents.

Rising temperatures impact aggression
When the heat rises, so can aggression. That’s what SFU criminology professor Ehor Boyanowsky concluded a few years ago after conducting studies that showed a direct link between high temperatures and the release of chemicals in the brain that increase adrenaline and aggression. As concern about global warming rises, so is interest in his research. Boyanowsky can talk about his work as the thermometer is set to climb later this week.
