From the author: ABSTRACT: The unfortunate exception to a general downturn in violent crime involves an upsurge in violence among youth. Violence often results when minor confrontations escalate. As school violence increasingly has become widespread, schools have become the location of many violence prevention efforts, few of which have been evaluated adequately. This paper focuses on enhancing decision-making skills as one approach to increase adolescents' ability to manage interpersonal violence. Adolescents can be considered fairly skilled decision-makers and their unique perspective nut be considered in development of effective intervention programs. Data from a pilot study were examined for insights about adolescents' ability to make decision in situations of interpersonal conflict. (J Sch Health. 1997;67(5):165-170)

From the author: To identify approaches to school-based violence prevention that are most promising and those that may not be effective, a review of the literature was conducted. In addition, telephone interviews were conducted with 15 experts on topics related to school-based violence prevention. Nine critical ingredients of promising approaches to violence prevention were ere identified. Specifically, the approaches are comprehensive and multifaceted: begin in the primary grades and are reinforced across grade level; are developmentally tailored; and cover appropriate content area. Appropriate content areas include information; an anger management; social perspective taking; decision making and social problem solving; peer negotiation and conflict management: social resistance skills; active listening and effective communication; and material on prejudice, sexism, racism and male-female relationship. In addition. promising programs use interactive teaching techniques, are culturally sensitive, and provide teacher training. They promote a positive school climate and foster norms against violence. Six violence prevention on activities that appear not to be effective are also discussed. The authors conclude with a discussion of the need for more rigorous et evaluation of violence prevention on programs. (J Sch Health. 1997;67(10):409-414)
