Youth Violence: A Report of the Surgeon General. Executive Summary.
American Journal of Health Education, v32 n3 p169-74 May-Jun 2001
This report reviews a massive body of research on where, when, and how much youth violence occurs, what causes it, and which of today's many preventive strategies are genuinely effective. It reviews violence from a developmental perspective and reflects on the responsibilities and spirit of the Surgeon General's public health mission to protect and improve the nation's health. (SM)
