Preventing Violence argues that we can move towards safer and better societies by advancing holistic public health approaches to violence prevention.



It explores the serious limitations of contemporary public health approaches and proposes an alternative path forward. Based on data from a three-year, ESRC-funded project 'Public Health, Youth and Violence Reduction', it also examines in-depth the work of 20 Violence Reduction Units in England and Wales.



The book makes clear recommendations for policy makers, practitioners and researchers working to prevent violence and improve the lives of children and young people.

Recenzijas

'Deeply insightful, carefully researched and important. A major contribution to our understanding of youth violence prevention, with implications far beyond the United Kingdom.' Elliott Currie, University of California, Irvine 'An important book that expertly clarifies the public health approach and demonstrates that with the imposition of well-evidenced measures and sufficient political will, violence involving young people is not inevitable.' Anthony Ellis, University of Lincoln
