"Is there a proven link between criminal activity and children in public care? How might care be made a more positive experience for young people, and how could offending rates during and after care be reduced? Young People in Care and Criminal Behaviour addresses the lack of systematic enquiry into these questions and debunks widely held assumptions surrounding looked-after children and crime.". "Claire Taylor critically examines current policy and draws on both child-care and criminology theory to form a theoretical framework for research. Powerful evidence from 39 interviews with young people who have progressed through the care system illustrates the importance of developing secure attachments and the difficulty of adapting to life after leaving care."--BOOK JACKET.
