Description
The debate of teenage pregnancy and parenthood continues to be a topical media and political issue, and a contested policy area. Covering the controversial issues, this book contributes to the debate, filling the gap in the current market. The strong chapter selection looks at areas such as:
education
social policy and welfare reforms in the UK and US
issues for young fathers
child sex abuse
girls with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
This is invaluable reading for those working on government strategies to reduce teen pregnancies and those working in sex education and youth care.
