"Presenting compelling theoretical and empirical advances - and identifying important directions for future research - this authoritative book belongs on the shelves of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in developmental, clinical, and social psychology; social work; education; criminology, public policy; and related disciplines. It will serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses."--Jacket.
