"Sugar and Spice and No Longer Nice is a book that offers parents and teachers a primer for understanding and preventing the increasing incidents of physical violence - hazing, brutality, fighting, weapons, murder - by girls. Written by Drs. Deborah Prothrow-Stith and Howard R. Spivak - the renowned Harvard- and Tufts-based experts on preventing youth violence - this important book offers a plan to help our daughters become strong, confident, powerful, and independent young women without being violent." "The book is well grounded in scientific data and filled with illustrative examples of girls' real-life stories of violence. The stories cover a range of issues and risk factors that focus on girls' violent and aggressive behavior."--BOOK JACKET.
