Violence in the Lives of Adolescents
Martha B. Straus
Why is there so much violence in the lives of adolescents today? Can something be done about it? Using an ecological framework, this book proposes that violence can be stopped on any one of four levels - individual, family, community or social policy. Chapters on the treatment of five adolescent victims and offenders examine suicide attempts, sexual abuse, running away, delinquency, juvenile sexual offending and physical abuse of adolescents. The framework encompasses community approaches and social policy development, showing the importance of involving all concerned adults in breaking the cycle of violence.
