Aggression, antisocial behavior, and violence among girls : a developmental perspective
"Until quite recently, little attention was devoted to investigating female aggression and antisocial behavior, and the few studies that were conducted largely remained isolated efforts. This volume fills a crucial gap by synthesizing the growing body of knowledge on the development of aggression and violence in girls, from early childhood through later romantic relationships, parenting, and effects on the next generation. Leading authorities from a variety of disciplines not only provide a deeper understanding of why, how, and what happens when girls become perpetrators of aggression, but also point the way toward promising directions for prevention and treatment. Comprehensive and up to date, this is an essential resource for anyone working with or studying girls and young women at risk." "Shedding light on a vital subject that has long been neglected, this authoritative volume will appeal to a broad audience of scholars, professionals, and students in developmental psychology, clinical and school psychology, public policy, education, and related fields. It serves as a uniquely informative text for graduate-level courses."--Jacket
