Description
Summary:This article describes current research in school- and community-based youth violence, and shows how gender differences in attitudes toward and experiencing of violence contribute to males' resistance to violence prevention programming. Thus, the centrality of gender to violence is underlined. Parental correlates of violencerelated youth attitudes and self-reported experience with violence are also described and suggest that fathers have a great deal of influence in this area. The implications of such research for direct child and youth care practice are discussed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
