Providing the first international edited resource in over 20 years on this topic, International Perspectives on Child and Youth Firesetting, brings together a wealth of global perspectives to create an interdisciplinary and authoritative work that argues for the treatment of firesetting behaviour as a public health issue.
With contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and clinical experts in the field of child and youth firesetting, this volume considers existing research through both a developmental lens and a public health approach, highlighting opportunities for addressing youth firesetting at multiple levels and filling a significant gap in current literature. Divided into three parts, it guides the reader through the social and cultural context of fire use and misuse, understanding firesetting behaviours in children and adolescents, and, lastly, how to respond to these behaviours.
International Perspectives on Child and Youth Firesetting will be of interest to scholars and researchers studying or working with children and adolescents who set fires, and practitioners in mental health, forensic settings, education, social care, youth justice, and emergency services.
