The Adolescent: An Educational Perspective covers several aspects of adolescent's development. The book discusses an adolescent's physical, cognitive, affective, social, conative, and normative development, together with an overview of pedagogic implications. The text also considers other critical aspects (street children, drugs, sexually transmitted disease, abortion, unemployment, and juvenile delinquency) from a sociopedagogical perspective. Subject specialists in the sciences of criminology, social work, sociology and psychology will find this book invaluable.
