Megabook on adolescent risk behaviors

As a student I found the book to be loaded with facts and useful information. The flow of content was a bit disjointed due no doubt to the multiple authors. It is definitely not a "cheerful" book. Covers trends, theories and various problem behaviors such as tobacco use, suicide and homelessness. Even though it is a wonderful resource, it seems a bit dated in the fields of adolescent violence and juvenile justice.
