Abstract

Having produced a comprehensive account and analysis of how young people get drug problems, Daley examines what good policy would look like. She argues for better child-protection services, family-focused initiatives, and early intervention and targeted prevention programmes. In addition to policy, she also illuminates areas that practitioners could work on: targeting under-represented groups and designing services and programmes tailored to the gendered needs of young people.
