`A critical reflection on practice made accessible for all. Youth
in Context... will be of interest to both students and a wide range
of professionals. In many ways, the textbook format with its
regular commentary, key points, case studies and activities, makes
the content more accessible by offering the reader a structure
within which to reflect critically in their practice' - Young
People Now 'The series Youth: Perspectives and Practice provides a
distinctive and rare combination of expert commentary, new
research, original theorising and critical reflection on how we
should understand youth and work with young people. These books
deserve a wide readership ... the way they are written and
organised will make them particularly appealing to students' -
Professor Robert MacDonald, University of Teesside 'I have found
that these books have enlightened and further developed my
understanding of young people and are an excellent point of
reference to support my work in this field' - Carolyn Moore, youth
worker Youth in Context: Frameworks, Settings and Encounters offers
a critical and up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical
issues involved in work with young people. It helps readers situate
current practice issues within the context of a rapidly changing
field, and demonstrates how critical reflection can be used as a
tool to transform individual and collective practice. The book is
divided into three parts: " Part 1 provides conceptual tools for
understanding changing policy and practice in relation to young
people. " Part 2 considers the changing contexts in which work with
young people takes place. " Part 3 explores the diverse ways in
which services for young people are planned and organised. The book
offers a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to understanding
the changing experience of work with young people, presenting
complex issues in an accessible and interactive way. It will be
essential reading for students on courses in youth work, youth
studies, education, social work and social policy, and for
professionals working with young people in a wide range of
settings. Together with its companion volume, Understanding Youth:
Perspectives, Identities and Practices it is a core text for The
Open University's third level undergraduate course Youth:
Perspectives and Practice (KE308). Martin Robb is a Lecturer in the
