Insightful and well researched

This book boldly addresses the issues of adolescent violence - the causes and possible solutions to this ever-growing problem in American society. Sadly, the violence is becoming even more ever-present through the continuation of violence in the media, video games, and an overall attitude of insensitivity to human life. Our society is suffering as consequence. This book gives us something to seriously consider in rethinking how we view violence in our society and the issue of teenage violence as a public health concern.
