In the Handbook of Injury and Violence Prevention, over fifty
experts present the current landscape of intervention methods -
from risk reduction to rethinking social norms - as they address
some of the most prevalent forms of accidental and violent
injury.
- Overview chapters examine the social and economic scope of
unintentional and violent injury today
- Extensive literature review of specific intervention programs
to prevent violence and injury
- Special chapters on childhood injuries, alcohol-related
accidents, and disasters
- "Interventions in the Field" section offers solid guidelines
for implementing and improving existing programs
- Critical analysis of issues involved in delivering programs to
wider audiences
- Helpful appendices list relevant agencies and professional
resources
This dual focus on intervention and application makes the
Handbook a bedrock text for professionals involved in delivering or
managing prevention programs. Its what-works-now approach gives it
particular utility in the graduate classroom, and researchers will
benefit from the critical attention paid to knowledge gaps in the
field. It is a major resource for any reader committed to reducing
the number of incidents just waiting to happen.
