Political Violence and Children: Psychosocial Effects, Intervention, and Prevention Policy
The recently published Handbook of Political Violence and Children: Psychosocial Effects, Intervention, and Prevention Policy (Oxford University Press), edited by Charles W. Greenbaum, Muhammad M. Haj-Yahia, and Carolyn Hamilton, seeks to stimulate discussion and research on children’s exposure to political violence and its psycho-social effects. It brings together for the first time in a single volume three areas of scientific activity in different disciplines: research on effects, programs for intervention, and laws and policy for prevention of political violence to children. Pulling together the work of leading scholars and practitioners in the social sciences and international law from around the world, this volume argues that the prevention of political violence to children is possible, and it provides a crucial basis for ideas for prevention.
To mark the publication of this important book, the Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, together with the Department of Psychology and the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare, will be holding an on-line symposium:
