This book explores the issues surrounding girls who are considered to be a "problem." They may be disruptive in class, refuse to attend lessons or have been excluded from school altogether. They may also be committing offences in the community. Whilst it is widely acknowledged that this behaviour can be manifested through physical, emotional or sexual abuse or other personal difficulties, the contributors examine how we can understand and make sense of their actions by:
* Considering the latest research surrounding girls' behaviour problems and the related theoretical issues
* Providing a clear conceptual framework around which professionals can work
* Suggesting appropriate forms of support and intervention
* Discussing implications for policy and practice.
Contributors to this book use a perspective, which recognises current thinking about "emotional and behavioural difficulties" but crucially acknowledges the gender-specific difficulties faced by girls and young women at home, at school and in the community.

Industry Reviews

'This book offers a wealth of evidence regarding the need for change in schooling as well as some good positive strategies for the direction that might be taken.' - Youth&Policy

"I found the whole book a fascinating read, and one that I believe would be essential reading for practitioners and professionals in education, as well as students and academics in the field." - NASEN Journal, 2011

'Problem Girls confirms how misleading it is to generalise about disaffected students drawing solely on boys' experiences...This book deserves to be widely read by teachers and policy-makers alike.' - Audrey Hosler, TES 29 July 2005
