Synopsis

As school violence in America continues to grow rapidly in both scope and intensity, school personnel struggle to find effective means for preventing and controlling such behavior, and for replacing it with constructive alternative actions. This book comprehensively presents, in user?friendly detail, the primary techniques currently available for such purposes, including psychological skills training, behavior modification, psychodynamic and humanistic interventions, and gang?oriented strategies. Recognizing school violence as a systems problem, the book not only addresses techniques for altering the individual student's behavior, but also ways to work with peers, school personnel, and family members. This book will be a valuable resource for school psychologists and social workers, counselors, teachers, administrators, security personnel, parents, and anyone else confronting school?related violence. Also useful in graduate?level courses focusing on the psychology of violence and aggressive behavior and the development and implementation of school and community safety programs.
