Youth Violence Prevention

This is a resource for dealing with both perpetrators and victims of violence and understanding the risk factors facing youth. Presenting an assessment of effects of exposure to violence and the continuity of aggression from early childhood to adulthood, it outlines an integration strategy for public policy towards prevention and treatment.

This is a book about behavioral threat assessment that focuses on prevention and early intervention. It’s about thoughtful connection, inclusion, prosocial relationship building, and the restoration of meaningful and positive experiences for young people within the school environment. It’s about the importance of staying objective, avoiding assumptions, and eliminating prejudgment. Finally, it’s about redirecting that person to constructive, nonviolent solutions and avoiding arrest, institutionalization, or worse.

This important book deals with the problem of youth violence by attacking it at the grass-roots level -- the community.
