(1977)American Psychologist, 32, U.S. violence rates still much too high, need to focus on prevention

22 CDC Strategic Direction for Child Maltreatment Prevention Measuring Impact Creating and Evaluating New Approaches to Prevention Applying and Adapting Effective Practices Building Community Readiness
