The Cambridge Handbook of Violent Behavior and Aggression
From a team of leading experts comes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary examination of the most current research including the complex issue of violence and violent behavior. The handbook examines a range of theoretical, policy, and research issues and provides a comprehensive overview of aggressive and violent behavior. The breadth of coverage is impressive, ranging from research on biological factors related to violence and behavior-genetics to…
School Climate Predictors of School Disorder
Hypotheses about the association of school organizational characteristics with school crime and disorder were tested in a nationally representative sample of 254 secondary schools. Relatively small intra-class correlations suggest that most of the variance in the individual measures of school disorder result from within-school rather than between-school variation. Therefore only a small portion of this variation is potentially explainable by betw…
Schools as Communities
Research has indicated that school factors such as communal school organization and student bonding are predictive of school disorder, with greater communal organization and greater student bonding leading to less delinquency and victimization. Data from a nationally representative sample of 254 public, nonalternative, secondary schools were used to examine structural equation models representing hypothesized relationships among communal school o…
Quality of School-Based Prevention Programs
A national probability sample of 3,691 school-based prevention activities operating in the spring of 1998 is used to describe the quality of implementation of typical school-based prevention practices, compare the quality of implementation of prevention practice with what is typical in prevention research, and test hypotheses about predictors of the quality of implementation. Results indicate that the quality of school-based prevention practices …
The Timing of Delinquent Behavior and Its Implications for After‐school Programs
Research Summary: This study examines self‐reports from two samples to assess the timing of delinquency. Results imply that the after‐school hours are a time of elevated delinquency, but that the peak is modest compared with that observed in official records. Additionally, children who are unsupervised during the after‐school hours ‐ the primary target population for after‐school programs ‐ are found to be more delinquent at all times, not only a…
A Multimodel School-Based Prevention Demonstration
A school-based, multicomponent drug prevention model operating in a middle school in Charleston, South Carolina was evaluated. The project included schoolwide curricular changes, instructional changes, changes to school nonns aimed at all staff and students in the school, and changes targeting the 10% of the students in the school judged to be at highest risk for drug involvement. The evaluation results to date indicate a positive effect of the p…
Managing Adolescent Behavior A Multiyear, Multischool Study
A 3-year study in eight middle schools tested a program to improve adolescent conduct. The program sought to increase clarity of school rules and consistency of rule enforcement, improve classroom organization and management, increase the frequency of communication with the home regarding student behavior, and increase reinforcement of appropriate behavior. An organization development approach provided a context to achieve strong implementation b…
Social Area Influences on Delinquency
One research tradition in criminology has focused on the distribution of crime rates among social areas, and a second tradition has examined the distribution of crime among individuals. Rarely are both traditions combined in a single study. This study explores social area influences on the delinquent behavior of 3,729 adolescents who are clustered within diverse social areas. The research examines mechanisms through which the characteristics of s…
Peer Group Interventions to Reduce the Risk of Delinquent Behavior
Evaluations of correctional treatment programs for criminal offenders and of school‐based delinquency prevention programs based on Guided‐Group Interaction (GGI) and similar interventions are critically reviewed. One study—the Provo Experiment—provided convincing evidence for the superiority of a community treatment program involving GGI over incarceration (for persons who would otherwise be incarcerated) and modest superiority over probation (fo…

Using a Typology of Persons and Environments to Explain Careers
The purposes of this paper are to show more completely, than before how a theory of careers (Holland, 1973) can be used to explain common career phenomena and concepts, to report some new insights and supportive data, to rectify some theoretical misunderstandings, and to spell out the implications of these ideas for counseling practice and vocational interventions. The theory attempts to provide explanations for some important vocational question…
