—Adolescence

"The authors have done a commendable job of framing a current social problem within the context of the educational setting....The book fills a definite need! I know of no other text currently available that brings the issue together as well as this [one]."
—Cynthia J. Norris
University of Tennessee

"The book serves as a warning to the spread of violence and as a source of information on responses to violence....[It] will have definite appeal to individuals who are looking for a general treatment of violence in schools. The book is written by and for educators."
