Abstract	Most interventions for at-risk youth are group based. Yet, emerging research indicates that young people often learn to become deviant by interacting with deviant peers. In this important volume, leading intervention and prevention experts from psychology, education, criminology, and related fields analyze how, and to what extent, programs that aggregate deviant youth actually promote problem behavior. A wealth of evidence is reviewed on deviant peer influences in such settings as therapy groups, alternative schools, boot camps, group homes, and juvenile justice facilities. Concrete recommendations are offered for improving existing services, and promising alternative approaches are explored. This book is arranged into three parts. Part I, Introduction, contains the first five chapters: (1) The Problem of Deviant Peer Influences in Intervention Programs (Kenneth A. Dodge, Jennifer E. Lansford, and Thomas J. Dishion); (2) Deviant Peer Influence in Interventions and Programs: An Ecological Framework for Understanding Influence Mechanisms (Thomas J. Dishion and Kenneth A. Dodge); (3) Deviant Peer Effects: Perspectives of an Epidemiologist (James C. Anthony); (4) Assigning Youths to Minimize Total Harm (Philip J. Cook and Jens Ludwig); and (5) Is Deviant Peer Influence a Problem, and What Can Be Done?: Qualitative Perspectives from Four Focus Groups (Jennifer E. Lansford and Joel Rosch). Part II, Reviews of Peer Effects, contains the next group of chapters: (6) Deviant Peer-Group Effects in Youth Mental Health Interventions (Kenneth A. Dodge and Michelle R.
