From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up-An unflinching and uncompromisingly informative examination of safety and security issues in the lives of children and teenagers geared toward parents, teachers, and students (though the majority of the material is addressed to the first two aforementioned groups). The nine sections discuss how to protect young people from school crime and violence, physical/sexual/emotional abuse and neglect, drug use and abuse, gangs, Internet sex offenders, and mental and emotional health risks (such as ADD/ADHD and suicide). This successful blend of clear writing, quality research, and meticulous attention to detail conveys much of the information through user-friendly outlines, checklists, and lists of key points. In addition, statistics on missing children and advice on what to do in the event that a youngster disappears are provided. The lists of recovery programs for young victims of violence and relevant organizations are excellent. An essential purchase for all libraries serving youth.
