Violent Young Children exposes and explores the increase in violent and sexual crimes committed by children under the age of twelve.

The book provides up-to-date demographic and diagnostic information for students who work with violent children and their families. There is an emphasis on accurate diagnosis since early diagnosis and intervention have been shown to limit and prevent the continuation of violent behavior. Anyone who works with child, adolescent, and adult violence will be interested in the early signs of violence and how appropriate diagnosis and treatment can limit and prevent the continuation of violent behavior.

  • Case studies and analyses in every chapter help students and professionals understand violent child behavior, its origins, and the most effective treatments.
  • Diagnostic material throughout the text helps clinicians use DMS-IV to make the most accurate diagnosis of children involved in early childhood violence.
  • A unique biographical case written by an adult about his violent behavior at age six allows clinicians to view the origins and severe impact of violence throughout the life cycle (Ch. 11).
  • Two chapters on school violence identify the cause, impact, and amount of school violence, as well as the clinical programs most effective in treating and preventing it (Chs. 3 & 4).
  • The impact of child abuse on the development of early onset violence is discussed throughout.
  • Up-to-date demographic data about violent behavior in children alerts students and professionals to the pervasiveness violence and the likelihood of its occurence.

All chapters include an “Introduction,” “Summary,” “Integrative Questions,” and “References.”
