Michael Reiss, Institute of Education: "The subject is both topical and unlikely to fade away in the next few yearsThe chapter selection looks strong and the contributions from the US and Hong Kong are to be welcomed… Will be bought by … professionals and libraries. … will make a useful contribution to the literature…"

Ruth Chambers, Staffordshire University: "a new approach to the issues of teen pregnancy … a wide-ranging overview. Maybe scope for recommended reading on social work awards."
