Evaluation

Understanding the origins of youth violence in the early experiences of childhood is important. It can help us interpret the actions of violent youth and work to reduce their aggression. Dr. Garbarino consults to a number of national organizations, television, and print media. He is the author of Raising Children in a Socially Toxic Environment and Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent and How We Can Save Them.
