Description
Joy Dryfoos updates her previous book on high-risk behaviours in adolescents, "Adolescents at Risk", for a general readership and for the 21st century. She addresses several key questions, among them: what are the conditions that are needed so that children can grow into responsible adults?; what difference does it make to a society whether they do or they don't?; and what will it cost society to ignore these trends?
