Youth in Cities: A Cross-National Perspective (The Jacobs Foundation Series on Adolescence) - Hardcover
Synopsis
There is growing awareness of the common difficulties experienced by poor young people who grow up in cities--crime and juvenile delinquency, limited access to education, the spread of infectious diseases, homelessness, and high rates of unprotected sex. They must contend with weak families and social institutions, poor labor market prospects, and for the most unfortunate, the ravages of gang war and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Chapters in this volume present and assess comparative evidence on the well-being of urban youth and proven interventions for assuaging the deleterious effects of poverty.

Book Description
There is growing awareness of the common difficulties experienced by poor young people who grow up in cities -- crime and juvenile delinquency, limited access to education, the spread of infectious diseases, homelessness, high rates of unprotected sex, weak families and social institutions, poor labor market prospects, and for the most unfortunate, the ravages of war and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Chapters in this volume present and assess comparative evidence on the well-being of youth living in cities and discuss interventions proven successful in assuaging the deleterious effects of poverty.
Review
"This volume offers important new insights by bringing an international perspective to the topic of adolescence... The book is unusual in that it adopts a positive orientation toward youth--focusing on their strengths, rather than their problems... it bridges the divide between practice and research, which is essential when dealing with the topic of urban youth." Lonnie R. Sherrod, Fordham University
