The Nature of Adolescence

Written for all those working with young people, this text has been revised and updated to take account of the many changes that have occurred during the 1990s. Alongside new research, social attitudes and debates have changed, with adolescent homelessness, crime, unemployment, drug abuse and school exclusions stealing the headlines. This 3rd edition combines research reviews with comments on policy and practice and includes textbook features, which should make it accessible to a wide range of students and professionals.
