YAIn Controversy series.
From computer hacking and online activity to teenage driving habits and gun control, each book begins with an overview of the featured issue with subsequent chapters addressing five key points from differing perspectives. Captioned stock photographs add little to the straightforward texts; text boxes provide supplementary information, and pull quotes highlight salient points. The text-heavy pages may be off-putting to some readers. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these In Controversy titles: Can Gun Control Reduce Violence?, How Serious Is Teen Drunk and Distracted Driving?, How Serious a Problem Is Computer Hacking?, and How Are Online Activities Affecting Society?.
