Summary

In the early 1980s, concern about disruptive behaviour in secondary schools had grown, being variously regarded as a symptom of a decaying society or as a failure on the teachers’ part. Originally published in 1983, this book reviews all the available research on 21 alternative systems for the education of disruptive adolescents at the time.
