Understand how and why community violence occurs and how to end it...

Books 1 and 2 present New Paradigms in researching, understanding and treating youth violence (urban, school, ethnic, barrio, ghetto, hate, racial, drug) and other violence sub-cycles;

Introduces a six-stage violence process (the traditional Cycle of Violence is actually fourth and a new Cycle of Maintenance is fifth stage). Violence cycles cannot be ended until all six stages are acknowledged, fully understood and appropriately targeted;

Redefines gangs and violent youth groups into three categories that conform to societal dynamics;

Places community violence/peace status on a Peace and Violence Continuum and suggests interface between peace and violence studies and cyberinfrastructure using advanced data analytics and visualization technologies for knowledge discovery, and to map the “genome” of violence and peace status in communities and regions. Shows how to analyze and predict violence using computer modeling...and...how to really solve your gang problem.
