Riassunto

DiGiulio outlines how communities — not the government, doctors, or lawyers — can offer schools vital and concrete support to play a preventive rather than a reactive role in keeping students safe.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"DiGiulio presents alternatives to get tough policies that change behavior rather than pushing young people away from schooling institutions."

(Ian M. Harris Education Book Review, Michigan State University Libraries)

"DiGiulio clearly answers the question ‘what can we do about antisocial behavior?’ by suggesting several changes that could be more effective in making school a safe, supportive setting. He offers constructive ideas for rethinking school structures and practices to promote responsible student behaviors." 

(Nelda R. Cockman)
