Violence Against Children in the Family and the Community

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

Children in America experience violence in many forms, and poor children are especially at risk. Children see and experience abuse at home, they witness battering of and by their parents, and they observe violence in their schools and communities. This book brings together the latest findings on this topic. Leading scholars describe promising interventions, suggest strategies for preventing violence, and analyze current findings in five key areas: developmental consequences, causes, interventions, prevention, and public policy.
