Fighting for Girls focuses on these facts, and using the best data availabe about actual trends in girls' uses of violence, the scholars here find that by virtually any measure available, incidents of girls' violence are going down, not up. Additionally, rather than attributing girls violence to personality or to girls becoming "more like boys," Fighting for Girls focuses on the contexts that produce violence in girls, demonstrating how addressing the unique problems that confront girls in dating relationships, families, school hallways and classrooms, and in distressed urban neighborhoods can help reduce girls' use of violence. Often including girls' own voices, contributors to the volume illustrate why girls use violence in certain situations, encouraging us to pay attention to trauma in the girls' pasts as well as how violence becomes a tool girls use to survive toxic families, deteriorated neighborhoods, and neglectful schools. 410 0$aSUNY series in women, crime, and criminology. 606 $aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration$zUnited States 606 $aFemale juvenile delinquents$zUnited States 606 $aJuvenile justice, Administration of$zUnited States 606 $aTeenage girls$zUnited States 606 $aViolence$zUnited States 615 0$aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration 615 0$aFemale juvenile delinquents 615 0$aJuvenile justice, Administration of 615 0$aTeenage girls 615 0$aViolence 676 $a364.36082/0973 701 $aChesney-Lind$b Meda$0943801 701 $aJones$b Nikki$f1975-$01641806 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816217503321 996 $aFighting for girls$93986139 997 $aUNINA
