The Future of Youth Violence Prevention
A Mixtape for Practice, Policy, and Research
Edited by Paul Boxer and Raphael Travis, Jr.
Rutgers University Press
The Future of Youth Violence Prevention: A Mixtape for Practice, Policy, and Research focuses on innovative approaches to youth violence prevention that utilize consistent principles found within existing best practices but are dynamic and adaptable across settings—and the sociohistorical and cultural realities of those settings. This book features scholars anchored in applied practices who can ground these forward-thinking strategies in the substantive base of research and theory that has produced successful interventions across multiple disciplines. The scholarship and cutting-edge thinking assembled in this volume could produce new-era youth violence prevention coordinators prepared to serve in any setting—including community outreach programs, therapeutic group homes, day reporting centers, juvenile probation offices, schools, or clinics. These coordinators will be able to cocreate intervention techniques using core prevention elements drawing from a range of ideas and a multitude of disciplines while embracing the assets and resources already in place.
Boxer and Travis Jr. do an excellent job of putting into a single volume the best scholarship available on youth violence prevention from a wide range of perspectives, including empirically based scientific theory, properly validated interventions, and cutting-edge qualitative programs. Clearly written, easily understandable, and quite persuasive.'
PAUL BOXER is a professor of psychology at Rutgers University in Newark with affiliate appointments in the Rutgers Schools of Criminal Justice and Social Work. He is a developmental-clinical psychologist who studies the development, prevention, and treatment of aggression and violence as well as evidence-based practices for helping justice-involved youth.
RAPHAEL TRAVIS is a professor at Texas State University in the School of Social Work. His research, practice, and consultancy work emphasize healthy development over the life course, resilience, and civic engagement. He also investigates creative arts, especially hip-hop culture, as a source of health and well-being for individuals and communities. He is the author, with A. Rodwin, of "Therapeutic Applications of Hip Hop with U.S. Homeless Adults with Severe Mental Illness," in Art in Social Work Practice (2018).
