Prevention Programs on Aggression - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 182
Aggression/Prevention programs: the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies curriculum has been demonstrated to reduce aggression by teaching children problem-solving skills, self-control strategies, and emotional awareness (Greenberg, Kusche, Cook, & Quamma, 1995)(1).
Olweus’s Bullying Prevention Program reduces bullying and victimization in schools through school-wide, classroom, and individual components that focus on raising awareness regarding the problem of bullying, enforcing rules against bullying, and increasing supervision of students in areas where bullying frequently occurs (Olweus, Limber, & Mihalic, 1999)(2).
The Fast Track Project has been successful in reducing aggression among high-risk children through a combination of parent training, home visits, social skills training, academic tutoring, and classroom interventions (Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group, 2007)(3).
These programs are among several interventions selected as model or promising approaches to violence prevention from a review of over 900 violence prevention programs (Blueprints for Violence Prevention, 2011).
