Due to the extensive changes in family structure such as the
increase of single parent families, a high divorce rate, and the
decline of the extended family, support systems for young children
are in decline. This decline disrupts the support systems' ability
to shape children's prosocial values. Because of the fear of
lawsuits and limited financial resources, community services and
schools no longer provide the framework needed to balance changes
in the contemporary family structure. This book provides insight
into voids that have created social skills affecting this young
population using an integrative approach to examine the casual
factors of violent behavior in preteens. It offers suggestions for
alleviating some of the causative factors that have created this
nationwide problem.
Changes in family structure, the role of the community, the
educational philosophy of schools, and the juvenile justice system
are discussed as examples of casual factors of violent behavior in
preteens. This timely book uses an integrative approach to examine
these factors as well as to discuss the changes in the juvenile
justice system in terms of punishment, treatment, and
rehabilitation. A direct response to current events such as the
Columbine shooting and recent elementary school shootings,
DEGREESIChildren Who Murder DEGREESR will be of interest to
practitioners, educators, guidance and educational counselors,
lawyers, and parents.
