| Summary |
This book categorizes the young generation into three categories: Youth in General (Young People), Youth-at-Risk and Young Offenders. Besides describing how they should be perceived and introducing some concerned indigenous studies, how they should be worked with/disposed locally are suggested. Some current juvenile justice issues are discussed near the end. |
