A Prescription for Stopping Youth Violence Before It Starts
"A clear, compelling, and much-needed examination of what causes
youth violence in small towns and big cities all over America, and
how one community was able to bring many partners and pieces of a
complex puzzle together to curb youth violence in its
neighborhoods. This book is an important reminder that youth
violence is preventable. It should be read by every elected
official, public health professional, community leader, advocate,
and parent ready to move beyond despair or fear and take
action."
-Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund
"Essential reading for public officials, concerned parents, and
citizens."
-Senator Edward M. Kennedy
"An eye-opening and well-documented book by two of the foremost
pioneers in violence prevention efforts in America. Through their
own personal stories and an astute analysis of the complexities of
violence prevention initiatives, the authors argue that violence is
learned behavior that can be significantly reduced. This is an
inspiring book; I highly recommend it."
-Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., professor of psychiatry, Harvard
Medical School and Judge Baker Children's Center, Boston,
Massachusetts
