Best Practices of Youth Violence Prevention: A Sourcebook for Community Action

by M.P.A. Timothy N. Thornton, Carole A. Craft (Editor), Ph.D. Linda L. Dahlberg (Editor)

Best Practices of Youth Violence A Sourcebook for Community Action is the first of its kind to look at the effectiveness of specific violence prevention practices in four key parents and families; home visiting; social and conflict resolution skills; and mentoring. These programs are drawn from real-world experiences of professionals and advocates who have successfully worked to prevent violence among children and adolescents. As a CDC publication, the sourcebook also documents the science behind each best practice and offers a comprehensive directory of resources for more information about programs that have used these practices.
