Dr. Garbarino research focuses on issues in
the social ecology of child and adolescent
development. He has a long standing interest
in a wide range of violence-related issues–
war, child maltreatment, childhood
aggression, and juvenile delinquency. In
1991, he undertook missions for UNICEF to
assess the impact of the Gulf War upon
children in Kuwait and Iraq, and has served
as a consultant for programs serving
Vietnamese, Bosnian and Croatian children.
He also serves as a scientific expert witness
in criminal and civil cases involving issues of
trauma, violence, and children. In all these
issues he is concerned with how
developmental processes are shaped by the
human ecology in which they occur, and has
a particular interest in matters of spirituality
and identity in this process.
After completing a project on physical
aggression in girls (resulting in a book
entitled See Jane Hit: Why Girls Are Growing
More Violent and What We Can Do About It),
he is currently working on a project dealing
with childhood in the face of the terrorist
threat.
