In \u003cem\u003eSchool Violence and Primary Prevention\u003c\/em\u003e, more than three dozen clinicians, counselors, educators, and researchers provide readers with multiple levels of understanding on the subject: the scope of school violence, possible roles of the home environment, and the contexts of child\/teen\/school culture. Various forms of student aggression and antisocial behavior--from bullying to sexual harassment to mass shootings (including the Virginia Tech massacre)--are discussed in depth, and the book evenly balances theoretical knowledge with practical applications from elementary school to college. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool-based prevention strategies, from character education to the Bully Free Program.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopmental, trauma, and neurobiological perspectives on school violence.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociocultural and cross-cultural approaches to prevention.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreat and risk assessment in individuals and schools.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe roles of teachers and mental health personnel in prevention and intervention.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRarely explored areas including cliques, cults, body image issues, and the impact of violence on perpetrators.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMatching the prevalence of the problem with its range of ideas, \u003cem\u003eSchool Violence and Primary Prevention\u003c\/em\u003e is critical reading for school professionals including teachers, counselors and administrators, medical and mental health professionals working with children, and makes a valuable graduate text in psychology, public health, and social epidemiology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274809860247,"sku":"9780387756608","price":7028.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387756608.webp?v=1769281011","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/school-violence-and-primary-prevention-9780387756608","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
