Dealing with Disaffection - Newburn, Tim (London School of Economics and Political Science, UK) a Shiner, Michael a Young, Tara (London Metropolitan University, UK)

Disaffected youth has been a subject of increasing attention in recent years, and one of the most talked about forms of intervention in this difficult area has been 'mentoring'. This book, based on a large-scale research study, examines the lives of a large group of 'disaffected' young people, and considers the impact that involvement in a mentoring programme had on them.
