N1  - Cover subtitle: releasing our children
N2  - "Complex issues underlie our youth crime statistics. High-profile cases of child abuse and violent crime highlight the way in which we have traditionally handled - some would argue mishandled - children born into families trapped in a spiral of crime, poverty and abuse. By looking calmly ad critically at what isn't working, Celia Lashlie brings her powerful insight and proven ability to  tell it like it is about our disastrously high imprisonment rates." from the back cover
