Teenage pregnancy and parenthood : global perspectives, issues and interventions

The debate of teenage pregnancy and parenthood continues to be a topical media and political issue, and a contested policy area.

Covering the controversial issues, this book contributes to the debate, filling the gap in the current market.

The strong chapter selection looks at areas such as: education; social policy and welfare reforms in the UK and US; issues for young fathers; child sex abuse; and, girls with emotional and behavioural difficulties.

This is invaluable reading for those working on government strategies to reduce teen pregnancies and those working in sex education and youth care.
