Kerr, Margaret; Stattin, Håkan; Engels, Rutger C. M. E.; Overbeek, Geertjan; Andershed, Anna-Karin

Understanding Girls' Problem Behavior presents an overview of recent studies by leading researchers into key aspects of the development of problem behavior in girls.

• Integrates interdisciplinary research into girls’ problem behaviors (e.g. aggression, antisocial behavior, rule breaking)
• Unique in seeking to understand girls' problem behaviors in their own right
• Follows the maturing girl from adolescence to adulthood, concluding at the point where she herself becomes a parent and forms new relationships
• Gives attention to the critical contexts of problem behavior development—society and neighborhood, as well as family and peer contexts
