Facing the Challenge of Diverting Kids from Pathways that Lead from Childhood Aggression to Vouth Violence
One of the important developmental starting points in understanding violence is that physical aggressron is essentially universal in infants (and equally so for
males and females). Early trauma creates risk that this early aggresslon will coalesce inio violent behavior in adolescence. lf no intervention occurs, this pattern of
childhood conduct disorder becomes the entryway into adolescent delinquent and antisocial violent behavior. The more socially toxic (and traumaiic) the
envjrsnment in which childhood and adolescence occur, the more likeiy it is that childhood conduct disorder will translate into adolescent violence. Changing
patterns of aggression in girls provide a useiul insight into how and why these processes take place. Traditionaily, females have "given it up" more readily ihan
males. One reason for this has been the cultural homogeneity o{ messages to girls "girls don't hit." Wth the culture shifting on this, it is not surprising that physical
aggression would increase among girls and that troubled girls would be more externalizing in their difliculties and that early trauma predicts later problems with
violence. The presentation is based upon the author's books Lost Boys (NY: Free Press, 1 999) and See Jane Hit (NY: Penguin Press, 2006)
