• Features contributors from a broad range of fields, including psychology, biology, criminal justice, sociology, spirituality, law, medicine, and popular culture

• Examines characteristics of at-risk girls and the lure of the "bad girl" image

• Clarifies what parents/mentors and others can do to help these girls and teens live happy, healthy, more rewarding lives
