Reviews
'Antisocial Behavior by Young People will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to the libraries of those investigating antisocial and criminal behavior. Moreover, the volume will be equally helpful to those responsible for developing prevention and intervention programs and policies directed toward the amelioration of such problems in youth. I know of no better book on this topic and consider it a 'must read'.' Dante Cicchetti, Ph.D. Director, Mt, Hope Family Center, University of Rochester
'... a first rate review of the recent advances in research'. The Times Higher Education Supplement
'In this major international review of research evidence on anti-social behaviour, no stone is left unturned ...'. European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
