Research Interests
My research focuses on issues in the social ecology of child and adolescent development. I have a long standing interest in a wide range of violence-related issues - war, child maltreatment, childhood aggression, and juvenile delinquency. In I undertook missions for UNICEF to assess the impact of the Gulf War upon children in Kuwait and Iraq, and have served as a consultant for programs serving Vietnamese, Bosnian and Croatian children. I also serve as a scientific expert witness in criminal and civil cases involving issues of trauma, violence, and children. In all these issues I am concerned with how developmental processes are shaped by the human ecology in which they occur, and have a particular interest in matters of spirituality and identity in this process. After completing a project on physical aggression in girls (resulting in a book entitled See Jane Hit: Why Girls Are Growing More Violent and What We Can Do About It), I am currently working on a project dealing with childhood in the face of the terrorist threat.

Title and Précis:
Youth as Social Weathervanes: Building the Developmental Foundations for Political Pluralism with Catholic Participation
This project will shed light on the role of youth development in the process of democratization, with a special focus on its role in building the foundations for political pluralism and on the question of how Catholic thought and institutional development provides a context for these processes. Because they are engaged in the process of their own identity development, youth function as social weathervanes to gauge the ways in which collective identity and political culture are shifting. This project will rely on reviews of existing research literature, and the project director’s prior data analysis, supplemented by secondary data analysis. The project will provide a basis for understanding youth involvement in the process of democratization, building upon the Catholic political analyses of John Courtney Murray and Bernard Häring.

Introduction
Dr. Garbarino discusses the reasons for child violence in boys and teens, tracing factors from birth to adolescence, to show how the inner-city African American boy is not that much different from the small-town Caucasian boy from Arkansas.
How Extensive Is the Violence
In Chapter 1, Dr. Garbarino offers a few statistics:
- 84% of all counties in the US reported no youth homicides in , but the school year makes this statistic less comforting
- 23, homicides occur each year, according to the FBI, and 10% are committed by youth under age 18, 25% by youth under age 21

What is new is that these stories aren’t about boys, they’re about girls. Just ten years ago, almost ten boys were arrested for assault for
