Finding High Risk Persons with Internet Tests to Manage Risk—A Literature Review with Policy Implications to Avoid Violent Tragedies, Save Lives and Money
The goal is to share policy implications of sensitive, specific internet-based tests in place of current approaches to lowering violence, namely fewer mass murders, suicides, homicides. When used, internet-based tests save lives and money. From 2009-2015, a Chicago field test had 324 fewer homicides (saving $2,089,848,548, ROI =6.42). In 60 yrs., conventional approaches for high risk persons (e.g.,. inappropriately releasing poor, severely mental…
Hardiness Scripts: High‐achieving African American Boys in a Chicago Charter School Navigating Community Violence and School
Youth exposure to violence, criminal activities and deviant peer affiliation may impact overall development and the transition into adulthood. Low income African American youth are disproportionately exposed to chronic stressors, but little is known about how they conceptualize challenges and success once they enter adulthood. We examine how low incomes African Americans reflect on exposure to chronic stressors during adolescence that impact thei…
The Role of Neighborhood in the Development of Aggression in Urban African American Youth: A Multilevel Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of neighborhood disadvantage and perceptions of neighborhood on the development of aggressive behavior among a sample of urban low‐income African American middle school aged youth (mean age = 11.65 years). Results of hierarchical linear modeling indicated that youth experienced significant changes in rates of aggression across the three middle school years, and that on average, negative youth perc…

Adolescents and War: How Youth Deal With Political Violence - Edited by Brian K. Barber
Why are adolescents violent
This article discusses how adolescents become violent from the perspective of human development, in which the process of formation of the child and the youth depends on diverse biological, psychological e social variables that constitute the context of life of these individuals. The ecological perspective of human development opposes simple cause-effect relations between antisocial adversities and behaviors and believes that factors such as gende…
The Hidden Dimensions: Profound Sorrow and Buried Potential in Violent Youth
Some enraged kids in clinical settings are youth who have been simply and narrowly judged as “bad kids” by many of the adults in their lives. But most of these youngsters have suffered major and repeated losses, and in some cases traumatic losses. These losses were not recognized by others or grieved by the children, nor did the children receive support from the adults in their lives. This deep reservoir of unrequited sorrow is the smoldering emo…
Mitigating the Effects of Gun Violence on Children and Youth
Countless children and youth are exposed to gun violence each year--at home, at school, in their communities, or through the media. Gun violence can leave lasting emotional scars on these children. This article reviews research regarding the psychological effects of gun violence on children and youth, and offers suggestions for how parents, school administrators, and mental health workers can mitigate these negative effects.

Lost boys: Why our sons turn violent and how we can save them
The means children have used to express their frustrations and anxieties has been shaped over the years by the environments in which they live. What was once responded to with words of anger or vandalism is today responded to with threats and the use of weapons. Today's violent children are products of the toxic environment they experience on multiple levels. This paper considers violent behavior in children from a psychosocial perspective and pr…
The Soul of Fatherhood
This paper proposes several lenses through which one can look past the obvious roles of fathers and see into the meaning that fatherhood has for our culture. The paper suggests that we are reinventing social fatherhood and redefining what it means to protect. It also describes how the very language of who we are as parents is shifting

A Vision of Family Policy for the 21st Century
This article explores parallels between family policy issues prominent at the close of the 19th century and those facing us now, one century hence. Among these parallels are concerns about substance abuse, economic inequality, “family values” and the reproductive behavior of young women, child maltreatment, and family stability. Recurring themes in American responses to these issues include continuing debate about the role of government in family…

Spiritual Challenges to Children Facing Violent Trauma
This article reviews research and theory dealing with the intersection of the developmental psychology of trauma and spirituality. The central hypothesis is that the experience of childhood traumatization functions as a kind of `reverse religious experience', a process combining overwhelming arousal and overwhelming cognitions that threatens core `meaningfulness' for the child. In addition to reviewing the role of religion in spiritual developmen…
Children's response to community violence: What do we know
This article presents a framework for understanding the developmental significance of violence-related trauma in the lives of young children. It emphasizes the importance of the distinction between acute and chronic trauma. Acute trauma is more readily dealt with through “psychological first aid” and a “therapy of reassurance.” Chronic trauma requires a more systematic reconstruction of the child's “social map” of the world. The socioeconomic and…

The impact of anticipated reward upon cross-age tutoring
The interpersonal interaction and task performance of children were assessed in a cross-age tutoring situation. In the reward condition, 12 sixth-grade girls were promised movie tickets for successfully teaching a sorting game to a first-grade girl. In the no-reward condition, children taught the game without promise of reward. Children were randomly assigned to pairs and conditions. The results indicated more criticism, more demands, and less ef…

This article presents a conceptual framework with which to approach issues of child development. It is based on an ecological perspective of human development that em phasizes the interplay of social and biological systems in shaping the experience of the child.

The Incidence and Prevalence of Child Maltreatment
Data sources for the development of credible estimates of the prevalence and incidence of various forms of child maltreatment, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and physical and emotional neglect, are as yet underdeveloped. The National Incidence Study and American Humane Association reports provide incidence estimates, and upper and lower bounds for prevalence estimates can be obtained by extrapolation from these incidence estimate…

A Preliminary Study of Some Ecological Correlates of Child Abuse: The Impact of Socioeconomic Stress on Mothers
The ecological correlates of child abuse and maltreatment are explored. A model which focuses on the degree to which mothers are given support for the parent function is considered. This model, based on studies by Gil (1970) and Bronfenbrenner's (1974c) analysis of "support systems for parents", is examined empirically. Data on rates of child abuse/maltreatment for counties in New York State - based on reports made pursuant to a new, more stringe…

Based on multiple regression analysis to identify the socioeconomic, demographic, and attitudinal correlates of neighborhood differences in the rate of child abuse and neglect, a pair of neighborhoods matched for socioeconomic level was selected, one high risk, the other low risk. Interviews with expert informants ranging from elementary school principals to mailmen were used to develop neighborhood profiles. Samples of families were drawn from e…

What kind of society permits child abuse
Child maltreatment is conceptualized as a social welfare problem inevitably created by the isolation that individualistic culture creates. The „defective parent”︁ model for detecting abusive persons is described as inconsistent, unfeasible and contradictory. Attention must be focused on basic institutional and social forces which permit abuse. The social and economic context for families is seen as the setting that transforms risk for abuse into …

Changing hospital childbirth practices: A developmental perspective on prevention of child maltreatment
This paper proposes that childbirth be viewed as a social, rather than just a physiological or even psychological, event. It proposes a program--within a broader community approach to child protection, child welfare, and family development--aimed at altering hospital policies and practices so that the birth of a child is treated as a more family-centered procedure
