Reviews
"This volume may well become a classic in its field, and should become required reading for prevention researchers and anyone considering doing prevention research....Clinicians will find it of value as well, because of the detailed descriptions of a variety of comprehensive prevention programs designed to be implemented with infants, children, or adolescents." --Robert J. McMahon, Ph.D., "The subject of this book is of obvious interest to prevention strategists as well as to clinicians, mental health consultants to schools, and family social service and governmental agencies. Staff advisers to elected officials would find the research findings useful in formulation of legislative proposals." --Hospital and Community Psychiatry "Their text is logical and developmental in organization....Would be extremely useful to proposal writers seeking external funding for grants and child and adolescent program directors who are designing programs and conducting outcome evaluations. McCord and Tremblay have done an excellent job in compiling research studies designed to prevent antisocial behavior that have highlighted the complexity of antisocial behavior, the absence of a magic bullet intervention, and the critical need to use research evaluation as an important component in future research efforts." --Contemporary Psychology "This book should play a predominant role in shaping experimental research on the development of antisocial and delinquent behavior....There can be no doubt that this book will be widely read, because it contains the research upon which the next set of intervention for antisocial behavior will be built." --Contemporary Sociology

Synopsis
Establishing the crucial link between theory, measurement, and intervention, PREVENTING ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR brings together a remarkable collection of studies that utilize experimental approaches for evaluating intervention programs for preventing deviant behavior. The book demonstrates both the feasibility and necessity of such independent evaluation. It also shows how the information obtained in such studies can be used to test and refine prevailing theories about human behavior in general and behavior changes in particular. The volume covers biological, social, emotional, and cognitive approaches to intervention. It highlights prevention experiments tailored to infants, children, and adolescents, describing family, school, and community programs. Some of the programs described target general populations at risk, while others focus on individuals. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of scientifically supportable evaluations: They are necessary not only because psychosocial treatments can be harmful, but also because such evaluations yield invaluable insights into why people behave as they do. Offering a broad perspective on socialization, PREVENTING ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR is essential reading for clinical psychologists, child psychiatrists, social workers, criminologists, sociologists, and educators. It also serves as a text for advanced students and trainees in these areas.
