This book brings together world leading researchers from diverse
fields to explore the potential causes of the development of
behaviour problems. The book presents theories that hope to
influence public health, education and social policy in the
prevention of the costly social troubles that behaviour problems
can cause.
Featuring contributions from researchers whose backgrounds range
from the social and behavioural sciences to economics, the varied
chapters assesses the potential role of gene environment
interactions, biological factors and gender differences in the
development of behaviour problems. The book includes a review of
studies that attempt to understand why antisocial behaviour is
concentrated within families, and concludes with three chapters
that link developmental research directly with policy issues. It
provides a framework for students, scientists, educators and care
givers to understand where frontier research on behaviour problems
is going and how it can be applied in the social, educational and
health services.
This collection will interest all students of psychology and the
behavioural sciences as well as those with an interest in public
policy, sociology, abnormal psychology, psychopathology and
personality disorders.
