Preventing Antisocial Behavior

This book draws together a collection of studies that have employed experimental approaches for evaluating intervention programs designed to prevent antisocial behaviors. Biological, social, emotional, and cognitive approaches are covered. Interventions aimed at infancy, childhood, and adolescence are included, as are those designed for families, schools, and communities. Some target general populations at risk, while others focus on individuals. In presenting variety along so many dimensions, this book provides practitioners, scholars, and students with a broad perspective on socialization. This book is a valuable resource for clinical psychologists, professional social workers, criminologists, sociologists, child psychiatrists, child care workers and community nurses. It also serves as a text for advanced studies in these disciplines.
