Synopsis

Economic and social changes in urban communities, particularly the inner cities, have had devastating effects on children, families, and the capacity for education in urban America. These effects have been characterized in moral terms and political rhetoric with phrases like the collapse of the family and the deterioration of the public schools. This study examines the crises in inner city education and presents solutions that seek to provide co-ordinated, comprehensive school-linked services for improving educational attainment of children and youth placed in at-risk circumstances.
