- Summary:
- Although violence in schools has increased dramatically in recent years, little has been written about violence among girls. Sibylle Artz' studies show that this disturbing phenomenon must be understood in the context of other gender issues and the girls' own sense of powerlessness. Here, in six gripping case studies, she explores the experiences of violent school girls, giving us a fascinating glimpse into their troubled world as well as a clear impetus for social action. A must-read for anyone concerned about youth violence.
