Description: Children Exposed to Violence focuses on domestic violence, community violence, and war and terrorism in the lives of children from birth to age 17. The authors look at how exposure to violence affects physical health, psychological well-being, social development, and academic achievement, give statistics on violence and research on prevalence, pinpoint the gaps in our current knowledge, learn from promising interventions, review existing and emerging public policies, and examine recommendations for future research in support of best practices.--From publisher's description.
