The authors note in their Introduction to this book that "children have been a challenge to their elders since the beginning of time, so perhaps there are few totally novel ideas about how to deal with them." Nevertheless, they seek to navigate those waters in new ways, and apply advances in behavioral psychology and philosophy to reclaim those younger members of society who are most at risk of becoming society's victims.
