520  1   $a"Anxiety about unemployment, homelessness,
         poverty and crime has always been around. Today,
         governments, experts and the media spend a lot of time
         talking about people at risk, the measurement and prediction
         of risk factors, encouraging resiliency and the need for
         early intervention. What are the politics, origins and
         meanings behind risk talk? Is the discovery and management
         of risk factors capable of offering real solutions?
520  8   $aThis book asks these questions by examining youth
         employment, homelessness and juvenile crime. It is a
         must-read for policy makers, human service workers,
         researchers and anyone interested in the key social issues
         of our time."--BOOK JACKET.
