"Why has there been an increase in domestic, workplace, and community violence, and how can we prevent it? This book, one in a series sponsored by the National Mental Health Association, addresses this question and helps the reader explore with the talented contributors the foundations of violence as well as methods to reduce the incidence of violent behavior in families, workplaces, and communities.

This book will provide a useful resource to graduate students, to practitioners, and program developers who want a comprehensive overview of violent behavior and who want to identify programs that work to reduce violent behavior in specific settings from families to workplace to communities."--BOOK JACKET.
