For many children, however, particularly those who live in our inner cities, childhood is increasingly a time of danger. In the urban war zones of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., children grow up with firsthand knowledge of terror and violence. This book examines the threat to childhood development posed by living amid chronic community violence. Most importantly, it shows caregiving adults such as teachers, psychologists, social workers, and counselors how they can work together to help children while they are still children--before they become angry, aggressive adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Children in Danger is a triumph of compassionate scholarship, alucid application of state-of-the-art trauma research to thechallenges faced by children growing up in our urban battlefields.\" --San Francisco Chronicle\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"A stunning, must-read book for anyone interested in how communityviolence affects children's and teacher's development.
