Question 2

Source A

A recent clinical study outlines how atypical antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are increasingly prescribed to adolescents in youth correctional facilities. The researchers observed that these pharmaceutical interventions significantly decreased the frequency of explosive, impulsive-aggressive outbursts among the participants.

Source A implies that aggressive behaviour could be successfully reduced through biological/pharmacological treatments.

Using your knowledge of psychology, suggest alternative ways in which aggressive behaviour could be reduced in young people who have a record of violent behaviour.
