"Emphasizing the need for early intervention and prevention, this timely book examines the impact of violence exposure on children and youth, discusses several existing programs, and proposes new approaches to the problem." "Recommending crucial steps to stem the tide of violence and enhance the safety of future generations, this volume will be of interest to mental health practitioners, developmental researchers, sociologists, educators, law enforcement personnel, and policy makers."--Jacket
