Reviews for Delinquency and High School Dropouts
I recommend this book for 'neophyte' and 'experienced' research-scholars and teacher-scholars. This book is a great resource material for both pre-service and in-service preparations of teachers. Dedicated parents, teachers, and community leaders can no longer feel helpless—it is time they started believing their efforts can amount to something, i.e., reducing dropout rates and increasing academic engagement.
