  • Title: Critical issues in the prevention of violence-related behavior in youth.
    Author: Kerns SE, Prinz RJ.
    Journal: Clin Child Fam Psychol Rev; 2002 Jun; 5(2):133-60. PubMed ID: 12093013.
    Abstract:
    Violence prevention programs with varying degrees of scientific support have proliferated in the United States and elsewhere. This paper previewed a broad range of programs involving youth, families, or systems that aimed to prevent or reduce violence-related behavior. The purpose of the review was to address critical issues concerning (1) target level of programming, (2) theory-driven versus problem-driven conceptualization, (3) cultural considerations, (4) developmental considerations, (5) intervention fidelity, and (6) outcome and impact assessment. Conclusions about these issues address tendencies and trends across programs.
