Our collaborations series continues with a look at science. Statistics indicate that youth violence is a continuing problem, but often it is approached as a legal or social problem. Recently, however, doctors in the field of neuroscience, biology, anthropology, and psychiatry have joined forces to examine the causes of adolescent violence. Dr. Rashid Shaikh, the programming director at the New York Academy of Sciences, Dr. Klaus Miczek, a neuropharmacologist, and Dr. James Gilligan, a leading psychiatrist who has worked extensively in the prison system discuss their innovative approach.
