Children in a Violent Society

3/5 ( ratings)

Today's children are bombarded with images of violence in cartoons, news reports, television shows, computer games, movies, and other media.

Emphasizing the need for early intervention and prevention, this timely book details the incidence and scope of the violence epidemic and examines the developmental impact of violence on children. Contributors describe several exemplary prevention and intervention programs currently in place around the country and propose a range of educational and policy initiatives.
