The careful and thoughtful architecture of this important material makes this a must read for those leading violence prevention efforts on college and university campuses."

While aimed at higher education, the information here can be used by anyone seeking to understand the issues and to identify the root causes in our culture and society. The guidance offered through front-line practitioners and the discussion questions are solid tools for immediate implementation that make this a valuable item for campus toolkits."
