Col. Dave Grossman, U.S. Army (Ret.), an expert in the field on human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime. Lt. Col. Grossman is the director of the Killology Research Group based in Jonesboro, Ark., that studies the methods and psychological effects of how human beings circumvent their natural inhibitions in order to kill others. "Children learn to kill from violence in the home and most pervasively, from violence as entertainment in television, movies and interactive video games," says Grossman. "Throughout their lives, children are desensitized to killing which is one of the keys used in military and police training to overcome inhibitions. "We are reaching that stage of desensitization at which the inflicting of pain and suffering has become a source of entertainment: vicarious pleasure rather than revulsion," Grossman writes. "We are learning to kill, and we are learning to like it." "We are providing our kids a how-to manual for killing without a conscience," said Grossman on Sunday's "60 Minutes." "The same basic mechanisms that we use step-by-step to make killing a conditioned response in our soldiers are being done in the games now that the kids play." Lt. Col. Grossman was the lead trainer for the counselors and clergy following the school shootings in Jonesboro, Ark. He is also the author of "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society." He was a West Point psychology professor and the founder of a new field of scientific endeavor, which he has termed "killology." Grossman has been called as an expert witness and consultant in United States vs. McVeigh and in the Michael Carneal shooting case in Paducah, Ky. ------ Lt. Col Dave Grossman is available to discuss the Colorado shootings.
