The last few years have seen youth violence reach epidemic proportions in America, spreading from the urban war zones of large cities into small communities in the country's heartland, peaceful communities like Littleton, Colorado and West Paducah, Kentucky. As the haunting images of one school massacre after another are imprinted on our consciousness, it's becoming clear that no matter where we live or how hard we try as parents, our children are probably going to school with troubled boys capable of procuring guns and pulling triggers. What has caused this terrible trend, and how can we avert it? Building on 25 years' experience of working with violent children, James Garbarino demostrates that, in spite of the hazards posed by family, social neglect, and easy access to firearms, there is reason for hope, as long as parents and teachers are able to recognize and respond to certain warning signals. Full of insight, vivid individual portraits, and practical advice, this is one of the most important books ever written about American youth.
