“…Efforts to understand risk factors, therefore, must include the study of external factors, such as family factors (Calhoun, Glaser, & Bartolomucci, 2001), as the family's influence on a child's behavior is powerful and stable, as well as generational in scope (Arllen, Gable, & Hendrickson, 1994).…”

“…Other commonly suggested solutions to violence include regulating television content, suppressing gang activity and involvement, regulating drugs more conscientiously, reducing poverty, helping people find employment, providing family services of various kinds, encouraging family involvement in school, emphasizing early identification of children who are at risk for violent behavior, promoting antiviolence education, and reducing the size of schools (Arllen et al, 1994;Conroy & Fox, 1994;Devine, 1996;Evans & Evans, 1985;Gaustad, 1991;Smith, 1993). All these proposals have merit, but none is sufficiently preventive.…”

“…Suggested causes for the dramatic increase in violent crime like this among youth include TV violence, dysfunctional families, grinding poverty, inequitable educational opportunity, latchkey homes, child abuse, domestic violence, family breakups, poor emotional and cognitive development, drugs, and gangs (Arllen, Gable, & Hendrickson, 1994;Ascher, 1994;Gaustad, 1991). The strongest developmental predictor of a child's violent behavior is a history of previous violence, including having been a victim of abuse (Huston et al, 1992).…”

Student violence and the moral dimensions of education

Student violence has started to appear in schools in extreme forms. Various causes have been suggested, including TV violence, dysfunctional families, grinding poverty, child abuse, domestic violence, poor emotional and cognitive development, drugs, gangs, inequitable educational opportunity, and latchkey homes. A number of programs have been initiated to deal with this problem which focus on limiting the entry of weapons into the schools and managing aggressiveness. Unfortunately many of these programs fail to address the more fundamental causes of violence and aggression. A more effective means of prevention involves helping children become more responsible members of families, schools, and neighborhoods. School counselors and school psychologists have an important leadership role in helping reduce violence by promoting the moral dimensions of education, including the development of effective learning communities and encouraging school experiences which help children become more resilient in meeting the challenges they face each day without resorting to violence. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Multi-family anger management: a solution-focused approach

There is a wealth of literature describing the complex phenomenon of aggression and its individual, family, and societal impact. As aggression is typically first displayed in childhood, there is a vital need for early intervention with these children. As childhood aggression represents a large number of the children referred to mental health agencies for treatment and the parents typically identify the problem, it is essential that interventions are a collaborative effort between children and their caregivers. Group therapy is often used as a method of intervention with this population but, typically, isolates the child from the family context. Considering the magnitude of aggression and its impact on families, there is a need to explore innovative interventions that include the entire family. This project report describes one such intervention-a Multi-Family Anger Management Group. The unique process of a multi-family therapy group designed to control anger and reduce aggression in families is examined within the context of a case study. The group itself was delivered using a solution-focused approach. A review of the literature relating to childhood aggression, solution-focused therapy, group work and multi-family group therapy is presented. A critical analysis identified and examined several themes including the development of trust, family collaboration to construct solutions, and the impact of solution-focused strategies. The analysis suggests that the Multi-Family Anger Management Group is a creative and effective intervention for reducing aggression within families. Abstract
