Frustration–Aggression Theory
Authors: Breuer Johannes , Elson Malte 
Published: September 2017

AbstractFrustration–aggression theory, also known as the frustration–aggression hypothesis, is one of the most seminal theories in aggression research. Since it was first formulated in the late 1930s, it has been applied and studied in many fields, including psychology, ethnology, sociology, and criminology. While there have been several reformulations, additions, and changes, the basic assumption of the frustration–aggression hypothesis is still that frustration, typically understood as an event instead of an emotion, increases the tendency to act or react aggressively. A substantial proportion of the research has dealt with the identification of boundary conditions or moderators and mediators of the causal path from frustration to aggression. Irrespective of these refinements and modifications, there is ample empirical evidence for the existence of this effect and, despite a decline in the overall number of publications that refer to it, frustration–aggression theory has recently found novel applications in particular areas, such as media psychology.
Social–Psychological Explanations of Aggression and Violence
Authors: Krahé Barbara 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Aggression, defined as a behavior intended to inflict harm on another person, causes misery and suffering to people and incurs high costs for societies. Hence, understanding what makes individuals and groups engage in aggressive behavior is crucial not only for explaining aggressive behavior but also for preventing it. This chapter presents the major social–psychological theories seeking to explain aggressive behavior. These explanations focus on the cognitive and affective processes that lead to aggressive behavior and consider differences in aggressive behavior as a function of the person and the situation. In terms of person variables, differences in aggressive behavior in relation to gender and personality traits are discussed. Situational factors precipitating aggression include alcohol, exposure to media violence, and heat.
Violence and Aggression in Socially Disorganized Neighborhoods
Authors: Zahnow Renee , Wickes Rebecca 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Social disorganization theory suggests that violence and aggression cluster in neighborhoods characterized by poverty, residential instability, and racial or ethnic diversity. These neighborhood factors create opportunities for violence by disrupting neighborhood networks necessary for the informal regulation of crime. In this chapter, we chart the development of social disorganization theory from early explanations of the spatial concentration of delinquency in 20th‐century Chicago to the development of the systemic model of community regulation and collective efficacy theory. We also consider the influence of social disorganization theory on community crime prevention initiatives. We conclude by discussing the changing nature of communities and the associated challenges for promoting community engagement and the development of informal social control at the local level.
Forgetting Everything We Think We Know: High Self‐Esteem and Violence
Authors: Boden Joseph M. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThere has been considerable interest in both the lay and psychological literatures concerning possible causal links between self‐esteem and violence. In particular, it has long been thought that low self‐esteem is a key component of violent and aggressive behavior. However, since the 1990s, a considerable research effort has been undertaken to examine this proposition carefully. The results of this line of research suggest that, while low self‐esteem may be a risk marker for violent behavior, there is no evidence to suggest that low self‐esteem plays a causal role in violence and aggression. Self‐esteem variability and narcissism are concepts that provide much stronger explanatory power in terms of human aggression.
Psychopathy and Violence
Authors: Lillard Colleen M. , Johnson Jennifer C. , Vitacco Michael J. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The relationship between psychopathy and violence has produced a wealth of research evidencing strong associations with violence across multiple samples. From that research came numerous strongly supported measures providing structured and validated ways of assessing violence risk and psychopathy, the foremost of which are the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised and its progeny. Meta‐analytic studies have found that high psychopathy scores are significantly predictive of institutional violence as well as general, violent, and sexual recidivism. This chapter provides a foundational understanding of the relationship between psychopathy and violence, including discussion of the investigations of psychopathy and violence in men and women; primary and secondary psychopathy and their relationship with instrumental violence; and conflicting views of how psychopathic traits are indicative of potential for violence and aggression in juveniles.
Evidence‐Based Practice and Adults: What Works? What Works Best?
Authors: McGuire James 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This chapter provides a broad overview of the present state of knowledge concerning the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce aggression or violence among adults. The main focus of the chapter is the synthesis of findings from a series of systematic reviews and meta‐analyses of evaluation research in this area, updating a previous overview published in 2008. A literature search located a set of 27 such review articles published since 2007 that fell into three main areas: (1) skills training, self‐control, and related programs; (2) interventions for intimate partner violence; and (3) treatment of offenders with mental disorders. While the quality of the studies included in the reviews was highly variable, there was evidence of significant treatment effects from a number of sources, demonstrating the possibility of securing practically meaningful reductions in rates or levels of violent conduct among adjudicated offenders and other groups. The chapter concludes with some observations on the need for improved research rigor and on the relationships between separate researchers and between research and its practical application.
Third Wave Therapies and the Treatment of Violence and Aggression
Authors: Zarling Amie , Taylor Ashley 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Since the early 1990s, a number of behavior therapies have been developed under the umbrella of the “third wave.” These therapies include acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, contextual anger regulation therapy, and mode deactivation therapy. These four therapies have differing levels of application and empirical support with regard to the treatment to violence and aggression. This chapter reviews these third wave therapies in the treatment of violence and aggression. We describe each therapy and the existing evidence for its efficacy, evaluate the current research as a whole, and give suggestions for future research in this area.
Training Staff to Manage Violence and Aggression
Authors: Whittington Richard , Price Owen 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
People employed in a very wide range of occupations around the world can be exposed to violence in the course of their work. This chapter examines the issue of violence occurring in relation to the workplace and considers training as one element of a multidimensional approach to tackling the problem. It examines the concept of training and the diverse ways in which training programs tailored to specific occupations and settings have been developed. It then focuses on healthcare services, in particular where violence prevention and management training has been developed and tested to the greatest degree. It concludes with a discussion of relevant techniques for delivering training and some suggestions for best practice in this area.
Psychodynamic Treatment of Violence and Aggression: Empirical Evidence and New Approaches
Authors: Taubner Svenja , Fonagy Peter , Bateman Anthony , Rabung Sven 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThe chapter deals with psychodynamic therapeutic approaches to treating patients with problems in violence and aggression. Within psychodynamic therapies, two approaches can be differentiated: One is the more classic insight‐oriented approach and the other aims more to enhance personality functioning. After a description of the common principles of psychodynamic treatment, recommendations for adaptation when treating violent patients are discussed. A systematic review shows promising results for psychodynamic individual and group therapies as well as integrated therapeutic approaches.
Multisystemic Therapy for Violent and Aggressive Youths
Authors: Borduin Charles M. , Dopp Alex R. , Quetsch Lauren B. , Johnides Benjamin D. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractMultisystemic Therapy (MST) is a family‐based treatment that has demonstrated significant effects on the serious and violent criminal activity of juvenile offenders. MST was developed to address major limitations of existing mental health services for juvenile offenders by (1) addressing key social–ecological factors associated with serious youth antisocial behavior and (2) delivering services in home and other community (e.g., school) settings. This chapter describes how MST interventions address violent and aggressive behaviors of serious juvenile offenders. Specifically, we provide a discussion of the empirical, theoretical, and clinical foundations of MST; a review of findings from clinical trials that demonstrate the clinical and economic benefits of MST; and a description of ongoing efforts to disseminate MST into community settings.
Interventions Targeting Alcohol, Violence, and
HIV
: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Authors: Scott‐Sheldon Lori A. J. , Senn Theresa E. , Kaiser Tyler S. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Alcohol, violence, and risky sex frequently co‐occur and are associated with the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Interventions that address all three behaviors may demonstrate synergistic effects, leading to a reduced incidence of HIV. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of interventions targeting alcohol, violence, and sexual risk reduction. We reviewed 2,542 records with relevant keywords that were obtained from a systematic search; 21 manuscripts (23 interventions) met inclusion criteria. Current evidence shows that interventions targeting all three syndemic behaviors can reduce alcohol, violence, and risky sex, as well as HIV/STIs. Recommendations for future interventions are provided.
Intervention for Violence and Aggression in Gay and Lesbian Relationships
Authors: Winstead Barbara A. , Lewis Robin J. , Kelley Michelle L. , Mason Tyler B. , Fitzgerald Holly N. , Calhoun Denise 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and common problem in the relationships of gay men and lesbians, yet interventions to address same‐sex IPV have not been developed and evaluated. This chapter reviews the empirical literature regarding sexual‐minority‐specific and general risk factors for same‐sex IPV and barriers to seeking treatment. Interventions for IPV in heterosexual couples and research on effectiveness of these interventions are also reviewed. Drawing on these reviews, recommendations for culturally tailored interventions to address same‐sex IPV are presented.
Anger in People Who Have Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Beail Nigel 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Anger has received a significant amount of attention in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). Unfortunately, the life experiences of people with IDDs can be conducive to the activation of angry feelings, and their cognitive deficits impair the use of coping strategies. There is now a body of research on anger in people who have IDDs. This chapter reviews this body of research. First, theories of anger are examined in relation to people who have IDDs, and this is followed by approaches to help reduce anger and research on their effectiveness. The relationship between anger and offending in people who have IDDs is then examined, and this is followed by a section on approaches to assessment of anger in people who have IDDs.
Beyond Aggression Replacement Training: Cognitive–Behavioral Programs for (Sexually) Violent Forensic Psychiatric Inpatients in the
N
etherlands
Authors: Hornsveld Ruud H. J. , Kraaimaat Floris W. , Zwets Almar J. , Kanters Thijs 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
We present a program for violent forensic psychiatric inpatients and a program for sexually violent forensic psychiatric inpatients (child abusers and rapists) with Cluster B personality disorder as their primary diagnosis. Based on their dynamic criminogenic needs, heuristic behavioral models were formulated for violent and sexually violent behavior. With Goldstein, Glick, and Gibbs's Aggression Replacement Training as a starting point, two cognitive–behavioral programs were developed, one for violent and one for sexually violent inpatients. Assessment instruments and the first results of the two programs are described, followed by recommendations for further development and evaluation.
Forensic Case Formulation for Violence and Aggression
Authors: Logan Caroline 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
An understanding of an individual's risk potential should underpin the action taken to manage it because this will ensure that interventions have the best chance of being sensitive to the needs that violence and aggression may otherwise be used to meet. Formulation is the name given to this process of understanding risk, and it is increasingly recognized as the critical central element of the risk assessment and management task, as well as the essential precursor to treatment and intervention. This chapter examines the task of formulation and how it applies to clinical practice with violent and aggressive clients.
Youth in Forensic Services: Evidence‐Based Treatment of Violence and Aggression
Authors: Elliott Delbert S. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The identification of evidence‐based programs and practices for treating youth involved in violence and aggression begins with a discussion of the accepted scientific standard of evidence required for certifying treatments as having demonstrated their effectiveness. Treatment programs and practices meeting this evidentiary standard are then identified and described with respect to their logic model, targeted population, risk and protective factors addressed, and delivery setting. A distinction is made between effective and promising treatments, with effective treatments having stronger evidence of their effectiveness when implemented with fidelity. Issues associated with the dissemination and implementation of these programs and practices are then discussed.
Treatment of Violence and Aggression in Offenders with Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Langdon Peter E. , Murphy Glynis H. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractHistorically, assumptions were made about a relationship between developmental disabilities and criminal offending behaviors. While some people with developmental disabilities, including people with intellectual disabilities, may commit crimes, there is no clear relationship between crime and developmental disabilities. For people with developmental disabilities who require interventions, there has been a marked increase in the development and use of psychological therapies to treat violence and aggression that would be considered criminal behavior; the evidence to support the use of many of these interventions remains weak, with the exception of anger management training. Further work is needed to develop robust, empirically validated interventions for both violence and aggression among people with developmental disabilities.
Family Violence
Authors: O'Leary K. Daniel , Salis Katie Lee , Bannon Sarah 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
In this chapter, we explore individual and comorbid risk factors for child physical abuse and partner physical abuse, which include demographic factors (e.g., low income, young age, race, and unemployment), family factors (violence in the family of origin), and individual factors (e.g., alcohol abuse and anger problems). We present prevalence rates for the perpetration and victimization of both partner violence and child physical abuse. Our review leads to several summary observations about victimization and perpetration rates: (1) intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization rates are similar between men and women, but women are more likely to experience severe violence and injury, (2) a large discrepancy exists between parent and retrospective reports of child victimization and official reports of abuse, and (3) co‐occurring IPV and child abuse are common and estimated to be present in approximately 25–60% of families with one form present, with larger rates seen in shelter than community samples.
Promoting Resilience in Members of Violent Families
Authors: Howell Kathryn H. , Schwartz Laura E. , Barnes Sarah E. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Family violence takes many forms, including child maltreatment, sibling abuse, intimate partner violence, parent abuse, and elder abuse. The magnitude of these experiences has made family violence a worldwide public health concern, with negative short‐ and long‐term consequences. There are, however, multiple interventions that aim to combat these deleterious effects and bolster resilience in families exposed to violence. Future research on interventions for violence‐exposed families should examine short‐term, affordable services that include multiple family members, consider key developmental stages, and emphasize empowerment.
Promoting Positive Youth Development and Preventing Violence and Aggression: Connecting Individual and Ecological Developmental Assets
Authors: Champine Robey B. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Contemporary developmental models emphasize the synthesis of prevention and promotion perspectives in order to reduce young people's likelihood of engaging in violent, aggressive, and other problematic behaviors and maximize their potential for positive development. In light of their holistic and integrated approach, models that are derived from the relational developmental systems (RDS) metamodel (e.g., the positive youth development perspective) represent ideal frames through which to enrich understanding of how to align individual and ecological developmental assets in order to promote thriving among diverse youth. I discuss how the key ideas reflected in the RDS metamodel may inform effective approaches for preventing youth violence and problematic functioning (more broadly) and promoting thriving (namely, in the form of resilience). I explore these ideas within the context of empirical work suggesting the roles of individual and ecological developmental assets in prevention and promotion, and discuss important considerations for future research and practice.
Prevention of Violence, Aggression, and Bullying in Schools
Authors: Pitner Ronald O. , Moore Hadass , Capp Gordon , Astor Ron Avi , Benbenishty Rami 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This chapter highlights best practices in predicting, preventing, and coping with school violence and provides detailed guidance for forming alliances between students, parents, and school staff and for influencing a nonviolent school environment and culture. We present information on common types of evidence‐based interventions and ways that school professionals can adopt an “entire school” approach through systematic monitoring. Finally, we discuss the basic assumptions of systematic school monitoring, providing detailed examples of its application and its utility for system‐wide school safety.
School‐Wide Interventions for Bullying: What Works?
Authors: Smith Peter K. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This chapter considers the history of interventions against school bullying since the 1980s. It considers several major programs in detail. It then reviews meta‐analyses of program effectiveness. Issues considered are effectiveness at different ages, components of interventions, work with peers, disciplinary methods and restorative approaches, challenges of cyberbullying, the role of parents, the role of teachers and teacher training, set menu versus à la carte approaches, sustainability, and societal context.
Cyberbullying in Schools
Authors: Kowalski Robin M. , Morgan Megan E. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Technology has revolutionized not only the ways in which people communicate with one another but also the forms that bullying may take. Whereas formerly most bullying occurred at school during the school day, with the advent of cyberbullying, bullying may occur anytime, using the Internet or cellphone. After discussing the wired culture in which youth today are growing up, this chapter examines this relatively new form of bullying. The chapter looks first at how cyberbullying is typically defined and then examines prevalence rates and consequences of cyberbullying. The chapter concludes with an examination of prevention and intervention programs that schools can use to most effectively decrease the incidence of cyberbullying.
Strategies for Preventing Gang Violence: A Century of Evolving Programming and Research
Authors: Henderson Samantha M. , Ozer M. Murat 
Published: September 2017

AbstractGang crime has been a major concern in the United States since the beginning of the 20th century, when it began steadily spreading across the country. Of particular concern to law enforcement is gang‐perpetrated violence, which makes up the majority of violent crime in the nation. Numerous programs have been implemented over the past century in an attempt to curb this violence. In this chapter, we chronicle the evolution of gang violence intervention programming, beginning with early neighborhood mobilization, youth outreach, and social service programs and ending with more recent suppression and comprehensive programs. We discuss the empirical evidence related to each and argue that comprehensive programs, particularly those involving “pulling levers” focused deterrence strategies, are the most effective. Thereafter, we discuss the difficulties encountered when implementing comprehensive programs and argue that future comprehensive strategies would benefit from the incorporation of social network analysis and predictive analytics.
Youth Activism as Violence Prevention
Authors: Aspholm Roberto R. , Mattaini Mark A. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractInterpersonal violence remains a serious social issue, particularly among street gangs and other groups of armed young people in marginalized urban communities. Much of this violence and gang membership can be understood functionally as responses of resistance—however self‐destructive—to experiences of marginalization and oppression. Given this analysis, one potential approach to violence prevention that has received little attention from researchers and practitioners lies in engaging alienated youth involved in violence in progressive activism and organizing initiatives. Young people have historically played a central role in social movements, and the power of these movements has often drawn in gang members and other street youth and redirected their energies in prosocial directions. This chapter offers an overview of youth activism as a promising approach to violence prevention, drawing on behavioral science, historical examples, current research with gang members in Chicago, and an appraisal of the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement.
