Overview
Providing research on effective prevention and intervention strategies for reducing youth violence, this resource covers subjects such as dealing with both perpetrators and victims of violence and understanding the risk factors facing youth. It includes: results from tested prevention and intervention programmes including practical descriptions, core components for success, evaluation findings, costs, and lessons learned from actual implementations; intervention techniques that teach prosocial behaviour to antisocial youth; psychopharmacological and neurobiological issues in the treatment of violent youth; the statistical predictability of adult aggression based on childhood aggression; the effects of exposure to violence and the continuity of aggression from childhood to adulthood; and an integration strategy for a sound public policy toward prevention and treatment of violent youth.
