Review
'This book provides the most comprehensive and systematic look yet at what is currently known about youth with multiple problems and how to intervene to change their life course. The extant literature is viewed from the dual perspective of public health and lifespan development, and the authors identify the most effective programs and policies for prevention and treatment. Lucid, well-written, and authoritative.' - Gilbert J. Botvin, PhD, Institute for Prevention Research, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, USA
'Provides sound advice for translating the wealth of research into practice. The use of nontechnical language makes this work suitable for use by prevention practitioners and policymakers as well as students aspiring to careers in prevention.' - Denise Gottfredson, PhD, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland, College Park, USA
