Abstract

354 Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work findings from current research. Because the book is the compilation of conference proceedings, there is some redundancy; however, the net result is a thorough understanding of the existing research on aggressive girls. The text is thorough, at times dense, yet accessible for researchers and policy developers. The small criticism of this excellent volume is that the prose may be inaccessible to direct service practitioners who are attempting to devise intervention strategies for aggressive girls. Although the book offers policy recommendations, they are too vague for implemen- tation in direct practice. This is understandable, as the newer research findings are only now being synthesized into existing research. Cogent, practical strategies to intervene with aggressive girls are on the horizon.
