Reviews

The title of this book is deliberately provocative... This is an important book because it takes the very current issue of teenage motherhood and places it firmly in a political and global context. The detailed information in each chapter will be useful for anyone wishing to engage in the debate about this modern moral panic. British Journal of Social Work An extremely useful review of the literature on the various faces teenage pregnancy has in several nations and welfare regimes. This book is an enormous step forward that will set a trend for future research in teenage reproductive health issues. Gijs Beets, Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI), The Hague, The Netherlands
