"Gets to the heart of a problem plaguing communities across the nation....the sort of book one wishes had not needed to be published, but is grateful to have."—America
"As Flannery argues, we are not helpless—we can predict tragedy and save lives....This book is essential for those who work with children in any capacity."—Library Journal
"Dr. Flannery's message is that, to a large extent, the violence epidemic is a product of our failure to be apalled by it and our failure to do something about it every day."—Marcia Scott, M.D., child psychologist The images are seared into our memory. Teenagers running from classrooms in terror. Others hiding under desks. Shots fired. A bomb explodes. Smoke and panic flash through the corridors. Several students are executed. The place: Columbine High School. The event: the bloodiest high school shooting in United States history.
In this jargon-free book, Dr. Raymond B. Flannery, Jr., a nationally recognized expert on violent behavior and its stressful conesquences, begins by reviewing the causes of youth violence. Why do children commit violent crime? How might society be responsible? Are some children biologically prone to violent behavior? Dr. Flannery outlines the warning signs and provides prevention strategies that work for anyone dealing with a crisis and more: to stop circumstances from reaching the breaking point.
