A timely exploration of teenage violence and homicide and a plan for responding to the problem on individual, parental, school, and community levels. The author offers ideas on how parents and the community can help turn teenagers from this self-destructive violence.
This book boldly addresses the issues of adolescent violence - the causes and possible solutions to this ever-growing problem in American society. Sadly, the violence is becoming even more ever-present through the continuation of violence in the media, video games, and an overall attitude of insensitivity to human life. Our society is suffering as consequence. This book gives us something to seriously consider in rethinking how we view violence in our society and the issue of teenage violence as a public health concern.
