  • Title: Violence prevention: myth or reality?
    Author: Melton P.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 2000 Oct; 152(10):509-22. PubMed ID: 11059921.
    Abstract:
    Newspapers and television daily attest to the fact that violence is a pervasive element in our society, especially among our youth. We have come to a point in this nation where we see violence everywhere. It is on the streets, in the workplace, and especially in the schools. How did this happen to our society? Is this unrivaled period of juvenile violent crime a new phenomenon? Our society demands that children have a safe environment in which to learn and grow, yet continued reports of youth violence indicates that our efforts have not been successful. Is violence prevention a myth or reality? Since children are our future, how can we provide them with the skills that will afford them the opportunity to become productive members of society?
