Description

Raymond B. Flannery (au); Marcia Scott (fr); Raymond B. Flannery, Jr. (pf). In this jargon-free book, Flannery, a nationally recognized expert on violent behavior & its stressful consequences, reviews the causes of youth violence. Why do children commit violent crime? How might society be responsible? Are some children biologically prone to violent behavior? He outlines the warning signs & provides prevention strategies that work for anyone dealing with a crisis & more: to stop circumstances from reaching the breaking point. Flannery’s message is that, to a large extent, the epidemic of youth violence is a product of our failure to be appalled by it & our failure to do something about it every day. He argues that we are not helpless -- we can predict tragedy & save lives. An essential book for anyone who works with children.
