This book examines the risk factors surrounding children at risk of
experiencing and perpetrating violence, and looks at the positive
role that children's rights can play in their protection. The
authors propose that violence in childhood is not spontaneous: that
children are raised to become violent in poorly functioning
families and child-unfriendly environments. They may be exposed to
toxic substances in utero, to maltreatment in infancy, to domestic
violence or parental criminality as they grow up. Each of these
risk factors is empirically linked with the development of
antisocial and aggressive behaviour, and each reflects a violation
of children's rights to protection from maltreatment. The authors
show how respecting children's rights and safeguarding them from
exposure to violence can shift the balance between risk and
protective factors and, as a result, reduce the incidence and
severity of childhood violence. This book will be essential reading
for professionals working in child protection or with young
offenders, academics, students, practitioners and policy-makers.
