Understanding Girls' Problem Behavior presents an overview of recent studies by leading researchers into key aspects of the development of problem behavior in girls.
- Integrates interdisciplinary research into girls’ problem behaviors (e.g. aggression, antisocial behavior, rule breaking)
- Unique in seeking to understand girls' problem behaviors in their own right
- Follows the maturing girl from adolescence to adulthood, concluding at the point where she herself becomes a parent and forms new relationships
- Gives attention to the critical contexts of problem behavior development—society and neighborhood, as well as family and peer contexts <
"This volume offers a valuable international perspective on understanding key aspects of girls' behavior problems - more prevalent than usually believed, but studied less than that of boys." (Booknews, 1 June 2011)
