KIMBALL, Chad T. (Ed.). Child and Youth Security Sourcebook. Detroit, MI: Omnigraphics, 2003. 646pp. $68.00 (h).

Recent reports show that one in five young people are afraid of attending school because of potential threats and dangers. Seven out of ten crimes committed against young people occur at school, in their home neighborhood, or at nearby parks and playgrounds. In addition to these dangers, many children face threats of abuse and other offenses at home. Child and Youth Security Sourcebook provides important information for students, parents, and educators about protecting children and young people from substance abuse, crime and violence in schools and in the community, juvenile delinquency, gangs, school and campus unrest, and peer conflict. The book also presents information regarding offenses and dangers in the home, including abuse and neglect, child care mistreatment, and child witnesses of sexual and violent crimes. Special sections include statistics, recovery programs for young victims of violence, a glossary of related terms, and resources for further information.
