"Each chapter contains recommendations for legislators, policy
makers, researchers, and families. This book should be on the desk,
and minds, of legislators, attorneys, social workers and other
mental health professionals who encounter and wish to ameliorate
the effects of violence in the lives of their young constituents,
clients, and patients." -JOURNAL OF CHILD AND FAMILY STUDIES
Questions relating to violence and children surround us in the
media: should V-chips be placed in every television set? How can we
prevent another Columbine school shooting from occurring? How
should pornography on the internet be regulated? The Handbook of
Children, Culture and Violence addresses these questions and more,
providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of
childhood violence that considers children as both consumers and
perpetrators of violence, as well as victims of it. The Handbook
offers much-needed empirical evidence that will help inform debate
about these important policy decisions. Moreover, it is the first
single volume to consider situations when children are responsible
for violence, rather than focusing exclusively on occasions when
they are victimized. Providing the first comprehensive overview of
current research in the field, the editors have brought together
the work of a group of prominent scholars whose work is united by a
common concern for the impact of violence on the lives of children.
The Handbook of Children, Culture and Violence is poised to become
the ultimate resource and reference work on children and violence
for researchers, teachers, and students of psychology, human
development and family studies, law, communications, education,
sociology, and political science/ public policy. It will also
appeal to policymakers, media professionals, and special interest
groups concerned with reducing violence in children's lives. Law
firms specializing in family law, as well as think tanks, will also
be interested in the Handbook.
