Marcel Lebrun's latest book provides a panoramic view of juvenile violence in the U.S. and beyond—violence in which children can be victims, perpetrators, or both. Unsparing in its detail, the issues that Dr. Lebrun explores will disturb every reader who is concerned with the safety and well-being of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society. More than mere description, this book is a call to action, offering recommendations and reminding us that how we treat our children is a key to the future of our nation.

Dr. Lebrun's book, Rebels in Society: Perils of Adolescence, is a timely and much-needed resource for teachers, administrators, and parents on the issues relative to children at risk in society today. The book articulates in a clear and concise way the importance of knowing the problems that so many adolescents face within their homes and environments. I strongly urge anyone who works with children today, has a child of their own, or knows of someone who is raising a child to read this book.
