More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Offending behaviour in young people is a problem not only for affected neighbours and communities; it is also a serious problem for the young people involved. Behaviour problems and involvement in criminal activities have been linked to continued offending, substance misuse, lack of education and work - all factors that are linked, in turn, with shorter life expectancy. This book reviews the literature on a number of techniques and treatment approaches designed for use with adolescent conduct disorder and young offenders. The authors also provide an overview of the condition including its developmental pathway; the criteria for diagnosing conduct disorder, and services for adolescents. Conduct disorder and offending behaviour in young people are complex problems that need multi-agency, multifaceted solutions. This book aims to contribute to the design of services by drawing on a wide range of high-quality research, and presents it for the non-specialist. It is essential reading for child and adolescent mental health practitioners, social workers, youth offending teams and other professionals working with young people with conduct problems and their families.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a useful book for those now working - or beginning research - in the field of child and adolescent behavioural difficulties in the UK. It offers a concise review of research and practice in key areas relating to conduct disorder and has the advantage of being written from within the context of UK developments in legislation. Published in 2007, much of its content relates to current issues but political initiatives can emerge quickly so some of its value will diminish with time.
