"A Rutgers urban studies and community health professor, Schneider is well qualified to make sense of the welter of data about how U.S. children live and die, flourish and flounder today. Throughout our history, she notes, 'the concept of childhood [has] expanded or contracted depending on the political needs of special interest groups,' but childhood was and remains 'a variable experience deeply dependent upon race, ethnicity, and family income.' As she compiles information about the health, education, and social and economic risks American children face today, Schneider goes beyond statistical averages to pursue 'differences in risk based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, and geography' and uses stories of how these abstract risks affect the lives of individual kids to bring her analysis to life. In response to deficit hawks and budget buzzards, she holds that it 'is' possible to identify the children at greatest risk and that we 'know' which programs are most likely to be cost-effective in reducing the risks they face. The real question, she argues, is not what we should do, but how much we are willing to spend to reduce the current risk levels for American children." -- Mary Carroll in BOOKLIST. First Edition.

Paperback. Condition: New. What is happening to American youth today? There is a mountain of statistics gathered about our children, but it is often hard to know what the numbers mean. Dona Schneider argues that "sound- bite statistics" on teenage pregnancy or child abuse can mislead us and create bad public policy. But a closer look at those same statistics can give us a window on tomorrow's public health and social problems. To show how the statistics can both disguise and highlight problems, Schneider alternates a discussion of the numbers with vivid encounters with individual children and adults: the middle-class black high school student's offhand explanation about how to get a gun; a vital statistics bureau worker's astonishment at his own classification as Hispanic; a young woman's pleasure in holding down a job after teachers dismissed her as learning disabled; and a latchkey child's nightmare of coming home from school to an empty house when she was sick. This book guides us through the morass of numbers bandied about to describe the state of America's children-what the numbers tell us and what they don't-and it offers a call for action. Comprehensive in its treatment of all groups of children and accessible in style, this book is essential for anyone concerned about children in American society.…
