Raymond Corrado, Alan Leschied, and Patrick Lussier

"The collection... would be of interest to professionals in the field as well as upper level students who have an interest in youth violence. It covers a broad range of specialized topics from the incidence and prevalence of serious/violent youth behaviour to effective ways of assessing and responding to youth violence."

"There is no question that this is a valuable collection. To my knowledge, this is the only text on the market in Canada that will bring together the key articles on this important topic. It is also the only collection that will appeal and be of use to upper level students and professionals."
