The rash of school shootings in the late 1990s has generated a
tremendous amount of public concern about youth aggression and
violence. But students, trainees, and professionals who work with
children and adolescents have had no concise or systematic survey
of our current knowledge about causes and effective approaches to
intervention and prevention on which to draw. "Youth Aggression and
Violence" has filled the void.
Comprehensive and readable, it:
* utilizes theory and research from the developmental psychology
of "normal" children and adolescents, as well as material on
"abnormal" forms of development, such as disruptive behavior
disorders and juvenile delinquency;
* situates youthful aggression and violence within the overall
framework of children's moral development;
* integrates quantitative research with carefully considered
qualitative research and case studies;
* discusses the genetic and biological underpinnings of youthful
aggression, as well as family and social factors related to
antisocial behavior;
* emphasizes cognitive, motivational, and emotional processes
involved in youth aggression and violence;
* provides in-depth coverage of juvenile killers and school
violence;
* examines female aggression and violence in a variety of
contexts; and
* critically examines a number of questions frequently discussed
in conjunction with youth violence, such as media violence, firearm
accessibility, and the relationship between self-esteem and
aggression.
