| Summary |
"The problem of alcohol-related disorder, whether hooliganism, aggression or violence, seems to be both a perennial and a worsening problem. This balanced study goes beyond the dramatic and not always accurate media accounts of the problem to present a comprehensive analysis of the factors behind and consequences of adolescent drinking."--BOOK JACKET. "That a problem exists is not in doubt, but what exactly do we mean when we talk about alcohol-related aggression and violence? Is it a new phenomenon? Why do young people drink/and or get into trouble? What harm does alcohol do to the health of young people whether their behaviour is anti-social or not? Is there a link between alcohol and other, illegal, drugs? What can be done to tackle the problem at a personal and at an organizational level?"--BOOK JACKET |
|
"The authors of this accessible and informative account address some of the key issues surrounding alcohol and aggression with particular reference to adolescence. Drawing on the latest research evidence, with a minimum of psychological or sociological jargon, this book will be essential reading for all professionals working with adolescents, sociologists and concerned parents."--BOOK JACKET |
