Some 30 topics in demography, socioeconomic issues, health, crime, and education are highlighted, including poverty, runaways and homelessness, AIDS, lead poisoning, juvenile crimes, teenage sex, and student performance. Introductory essays to each section outline the issues and explain graphs and tables. Thorough documentation of the source data complements outstanding graphics, and appendixes provide additional information on minorities in the United States and children worldwide".--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999.
