Childhood and adolescence are perhaps the most critical period in any person’s life. The education one receives during this time, the environment one is raised in, and the way one is treated by family, friends, and society, go a long way toward determining how the rest of an individual’s life will turn out. This volume addresses various factors that affect youth, including family income, who cares for children, health and safety issues, educational matters, and teen sexuality and pregnancy. Also, crime, violence, and victimization are addressed, including gang violence, school violence, and crime prevention and punishment.
