Abstract = {Public policy in the United States has historically
considered youth violence as a moral problem to be punished
after the fact, but growing scientific evidence supports a
public health perspective on violent behavior as an
interaction between cultural forces and failures in
development. Prevention science has provided a bridge
between an understanding of how chronic violence develops
and how prevention programs can interrupt that development.
Articles in this journal supplement provide yet another
bridge between efficacious university-based programs and
effective community-based programs. It is suggested that yet
one more bridge will need to be constructed in future
research between community-based programs that are known to
be effective and community-wide implementation of prevention
efforts at full scale. This last bridge integrates the
science of children's development, the science of
prevention, and the science of public policy.},

Abstract = {Childhood violence is a major public health and social
policy concern in the United States. Scientists and
policymakers alike have increasingly turned their attention
to the causes of childhood violence and the extent to which
its course can be modified through well-planned preventive
interventions. However, it is not apparent that policymakers
draw upon basic research findings in formulating their
priorities and policies, nor is it apparent that
developmental scientists incorporate policy considerations
and prevention findings into their research frameworks and
designs. The goal of this special issue on violent children
is to begin to bridge the gaps among basic developmental
science, prevention science, and public policy.},

Abstract = {The contentious nature-nurture debate in developmental
psychology is poised to reach a rapprochement with
contemporary concepts of gene-environment interaction,
transaction, and fit. Discoveries over the past decade have
revealed how neither genes nor the environment offers a
sufficient window into human development. Rather, the most
important discoveries have come from unearthing the manner
in which the environment alters gene expression (and how
genes impose limits on environmental effects), how biology
and the environment influence each other across time, and
how maximizing gene-environment fit leads to optimal
outcomes for children. The manner in which these factors
operate in tandem should direct future scholarship,
practice, and public policy.},

Abstract = {The State of the Science Conference Statement on "Preventing
Violence and Related Health-Risking Social Behaviors in
Adolescents" accurately summarizes the state of knowledge
regarding risk factors for violence and intervention
efficacy. The Statement missed an opportunity, however, to
move the field of prevention practice and policy forward by
advocating for more systematic, central review of preventive
interventions through a new federal regulatory body, such as
an "FDA for Preventive Interventions." This body would
provide review of evidence-based programs and aid
decision-making in funding. As a complement to this body,
decision-makers also need guidelines in evidence-based
practice in ambiguous circumstances, which characterize much
of the reality of public policy. Therefore, this new
regulatory body should be accompanied by guidelines for
evidence-based practice in intervention and policy. Finally,
in order to move forward both of these concepts, a National
Academy of Sciences Panel should convene to deliberate how
these concepts can be implemented.},

Abstract = {Perhaps the most important, and certainly the most
contentious, debate in the history of developmental
psychology has concerned the fundamental question of the
role of genetic and biological factors versus environmental
and learning factors in a child's development. This debate
is rooted in philosophical arguments about the nature of the
human species as a tabula rasa (Locke, 1690/1913) to be
shaped by experience versus a "noble savage" (Rousseau,
1754) to be reined in by environmental constraints on an
otherwise biological destiny (Hobbes, 1651/1969). Much of
the modern study of individual differences in behavioral
development, through longitudinal inquiry in the 1950s and
1960s, inexplicably ignored the role of innate factors but
led to unprecedented publicly funded programs (e.g., Head
Start) to enrich the early environments of economically
disadvantaged children in the War on Poverty (Zigler and
Muenchow, 1992). This work had dual premises-that
disparities across groups were largely a result of
environmental disadvantage and that environmental
enrichments could repair this inequity. © 2007 by Wayne

Abstract = {Metaphors can both inspire and mislead the public. Current
metaphors for youth violence are inconsistent with
scientific evidence about how chronic violence develops and
evoke inaccurate or harmful reactions. Popular, problematic
metaphors include superpredator, quarantining the
contagious, corrective surgery, man as computer, vaccine,
and chronic disease. Four new metaphors that more accurately
reflect the science of child development are proposed to
shape the field. Preventive dentistry offers a lifelong
system of universal, selected, and indicated intervention
policies. Cardiovascular disease offers concepts of distal
risk factors, proximal processes, equifinality and
multifinality, and long-term prevention. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention's public health model focuses
on injury and the victim to elicit popular support. Public
education for illiteracy offers concepts of long-term
universal education coupled with specialized help for
high-risk youths and goes beyond metaphor to represent a
truly applicable framework. Research is proposed to test the
scientific merit for and public receptivity to these
metaphors.},

Abstract = {Deborah Daro and Kenneth Dodge observe that efforts to
prevent child abuse have historically focused on directly
improving the skills of parents who are at risk for or
engaged in maltreatment. But, as experts increasingly
recognize that negative forces within a community can
overwhelm even well-intentioned parents, attention is
shifting toward creating environments that facilitate a
parent's ability to do the right thing. The most
sophisticated and widely used community prevention programs,
say Daro and Dodge, emphasize the reciprocal interplay
between individual-family behavior and broader neighborhood,
community, and cultural contexts. The authors examine five
different community prevention efforts, summarizing for each
both the theory of change and the empirical evidence
concerning its efficacy. Each program aims to enhance
community capacity by expanding formal and informal
resources and establishing a normative cultural context
capable of fostering collective responsibility for positive
child development. Over the past ten years, researchers have
explored how neighborhoods influence child development and
support parenting. Scholars are still searching for
agreement on the most salient contextual factors and on how
to manipulate these factors to increase the likelihood
parents will seek out, find, and effectively use necessary
and appropriate support. The current evidence base for
community child abuse prevention, observe Daro and Dodge,
offers both encouragement and reason for caution. Although
theory and empirical research suggest that intervention at
the neighborhood level is likely to prevent child
maltreatment, designing and implementing a high-quality,
multifaceted community prevention initiative is expensive.
Policy makers must consider the trade-offs in investing in
strategies to alter community context and those that expand
services for known high-risk individuals. The authors
conclude that if the concept of community prevention is to
move beyond the isolated examples examined in their article,
additional conceptual and empirical work is needed to garner
support from public institutions, community-based
stakeholders, and local residents.},

Abstract = {As academic clinical science moves to community intervention
to achieve impact on population prevalence of antisocial
behavior disorders, exciting potential is tempered by
realistic caution. Three kinds of efforts are noted. First,
individual evidence-based therapies are being implemented at
scale. Difficulties in high-fidelity implementation are
noted, and the unlikelihood of population impact is
highlighted. Second, communities are receiving new resources
to support individuals, although connecting community
resources to highest-risk individuals is difficult. Third,
community factors are being targeted for change through
policy reform, with mixed results. As the field moves in
this direction, the importance of adhering to principles of
scientific rigor and empirical evidence is emphasized, to
keep scientist-practitioners from overstepping their
bounds.},

Abstract = {The traditional model of translation from basic laboratory
science to efficacy trials to effectiveness trials to
community dissemination has flaws that arise from false
assumptions that context changes little or matters little.
One of the most important findings in developmental science
is that context matters, but this fact is not sufficiently
taken into account in many translation efforts. Studies
reported in this special issue highlight both the potential
of systematic interventions in parenting, peer relations,
and social-cognitive skills training, and the problems that
will be encountered in trying to bring these interventions
to a community context. It is advocated that developmental
scientists start from within the community context itself so
that translation to policy is only a small step. It is also
advocated that this research be conducted through rigorous
community randomized controlled trials.},

Abstract = {Systemic challenges within child welfare have prompted many
states to explore new strategies aimed at protecting
children while meeting the needs of families, but doing so
within the confines of shrinking budgets. Differential
Response has emerged as a promising practice for low or
moderate risk cases of child maltreatment. This mixed
methods evaluation explored various aspects of North
Carolina's differential response system, known as the
Multiple Response System (MRS), including: child safety,
timeliness of response and case decision, frontloading of
services, case distribution, implementation of Child and
Family Teams, collaboration with community-based service
providers and Shared Parenting. Utilizing Child Protective
Services (CPS) administrative data, researchers found that
compared to matched control counties, MRS: had a positive
impact on child safety evidenced by a decline in the rates
of substantiations and re-assessments; temporarily disrupted
timeliness of response in pilot counties but had no effect
on time to case decision; and increased the number of
upfront services provided to families during assessment.
Qualitative data collected through focus groups with
providers and phone interviews with families provided
important information on key MRS strategies, highlighting
aspects that families and social workers like as well as
identifying areas for improvement. This information is
useful for continuous quality improvement efforts,
particularly related to the development of training and
technical assistance programs at the state and local
level.},

diverse sample of 244 boys ages 8 through 12 (M = 9.4) from
public elementary schools in 3 states. The SIP-AP includes 8
videotaped vignettes, filmed from the first-person
perspective, that depict common misunderstandings among
boys. Each vignette shows a negative outcome for the victim
and ambiguous intent on the part of the perpetrator. Boys
responded to 16 Web-based questions representing the 5
social information processing mechanisms, after viewing each
vignette. Parents and teachers completed measures assessing
boys' antisocial behavior. Confirmatory factor analyses
revealed that a model positing the original 5 cognitive
mechanisms fit the data well when the items representing
prosocial cognitions were included on their own factor,
creating a 6th factor. The internal consistencies for each
of the 16 individual cognitions as well as for the 6
cognitive mechanism scales were excellent. Boys with
elevated scores on 5 of the 6 cognitive mechanisms exhibited
more antisocial behavior than boys whose scores were not
elevated. These findings highlight the need for further
research on the measurement of prosocial cognitions or
cognitive strengths in boys in addition to assessing
cognitive deficits. Findings suggest that the SIP-AP is a
reliable and valid tool for use in future research of social
information processing skills in boys.},

Abstract = {North Carolina is one of a growing number of states to
implement family meeting models in child welfare as a way to
engage families, while simultaneously addressing complex
familial needs and child safety issues. However, much is
still unknown regarding how family meetings actually operate
in child welfare, underscoring a clear need for further
evaluation of this process. Utilizing direct observational
data of Child and Family Team (CFT) meetings, collected as
part of two separate evaluations of the North Carolina
Division of Social Service's Multiple Response System (MRS)
and System of Care (SOC) initiatives, the purpose of the
current study was to examine whether the support provided by
SOC improved fidelity to the CFT model in child welfare. The
observations were conducted using the Team Observation
Measure consisting of 78 indicators that measure adherence
to ten domains associated with high quality family team
meetings (e.g., collaborative, individualized, natural
supports, outcomes based, strengths-based). Findings
indicate that receiving SOC support in child welfare leads
to a more collaborative and individualized decision-making
process with families. Meeting facilitators in SOC counties
were better prepared for CFTs, and had greater ability to
lead a more robust and creative brainstorming process to
develop a family-driven case plan. The current study also
provides a much needed description of the CFT meeting
process within child welfare using a direct observational
measure.},
