Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book focuses on early childhood to late teen issues like kidnapping and child safety, childhood obesity, school safety and zero tolerance policies, teen drivers, hazing, bullying and risk-taking behavior. Fear of and fear for youth is a rite of passage, a common lament that comes with change. Young people both represent and must deal with the consequences of these fluctuations, and are actually often better behaved than their predecessors. Book News Annotation:Aimed at a broad audience of scholars and general readers, this text
critically examines some of the hottest news stories about today's
youth in order to determine whether or not things are as bad as they
sound. By comparing the headlines with statistical evidence,
Sternheimer (sociology, U. of Southern California) dispels a number
of myths while identifying areas where kids really do need help. Some
of the issues explored include kidnapping by strangers, childhood
obesity, and school violence.
