What an insightful book! Subtitled “schooling against the odds,” discovered is the surprising institutional context at the intersection of youth crime, treatment, and education. The diverse interests, competing accounts, and forms of sabotage transpire performatively within an orderly social world. Meaning-making, strategic actions, and everyday identities repeatedly construct and resolve for all practical purposes what might at a glance appear chaotic and contradictory. The documentation is superb and the message highly significant. Jaber F. Gubrium, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Missouri, USA
