Children in Trouble by Carol Hayden
Carol Hayden reviews evidence about children in trouble across a range of circumstances, demonstrating the tensions between welfare and justice, care and control in the treatment of these vulnerable young people and evaluating the implications of the current 'what works' debate within social policy. This book will be invaluable to all students and professionals working with children in social work, teaching or the criminal justice system.
I regard this as an excellent textThe main strengths are: (a) A solid underpinning by research. (b) A grounded and coherent theoretical approach. (c) A wide-ranging approach. (d) A clear and appropriate style. Nick Frost, University of Leeds, UK 'This book is invaluable for the light it throws on how adults' responses can improve, stabilise or deepend the difficulties of children in trouble.' - Children Now
