Peacebuilding for Adolescents: Strategies for Educators and Community Leaders (Adolescent Cultures, School, Society, Vol. 2) (Paperback)

Peacebuilding for Adolescents: Strategies for Educators and Community Leaders (Adolescent Cultures, School, Society, Vol. 2) Book Description

Relying largely on the work of peace- and conflict-resolution scholars from many disciplines, <I>Peacebuilding for Adolescents</i> presents proactive strategies for educators and community leaders. In order to deter adolescent violence, educators have been responding to increasing levels of school violence by severely punishing aggressive children, and politicians have been clamoring for tougher criminal justice measures to deter youth from crime. The authors in this book argue, instead, for a more humane response by teaching young people to value peace, to learn to manage their own conflicts, and to live more peacefully. They take a broad view that ranges over three strategic levels of analysis-personal, school, and community. They argue for the promotion of a culture of nonviolence in the schools to help create what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the beloved community.
