Reviews
`…in one form or another all of the main theories purporting to explain violent behaviour, together with the available research evidence, are reviewed here…It is an ideal book for trainees in health-care, social service, legal or psychotherapy settings, or for the purpose or fairly quick updating of old or even non-existent knowledge about violence in children and adolescents'
`The diversity of contributions by a range of writers with an evident expertise in their area of specialization makes this a text to be commended to both academics and practitioners working with child and adolescent perpetrators of violence.'
`Violence in Children and Adolescents'is a compilation of sensitive and informative writing by experts.'
`This book deals with a topical subject in a sympathetic manner. All the contributors are experienced professionals who are authorities in their own field and their understanding of the behaviour of often very sad young people emerges to make a readable volume which is helpful to students, practitioners and researchers alike. Anyone who is concerned about young people should find something to assist them in working with their behaviours in any one of the chapters. Students will find research data for a variety of essay topics.'
