Violent Children: A Reference Handbook (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780874367867)

This volume presents a balanced survey of children and violence in the United States--specifically those children who commit acts such as murder, rape, and assault.

The physical, cultural, social, economic, and legal aspects of this pressing issue are explored in detail in Violent Children. Topics include the causes of these acts and what is being done to cope with and prevent this violence. Statistical information, intervention programs, and a list of print and nonprint resources are provided.

This is an important reference work for students, parents, child advocacy groups, educators, law enforcement personnel, legislators, and other policy makers.
