About the Book

In this collection, leading psychologists, sociologists and criminologists highlight the potential for positive human development in different domains. Covering the years from youth to middle age, they examine a range of social, political and moral components of "competence and character", from teenage pregnancy and life-planning skills to voting records and educational attainment in low income households. By positing the possibility of multiple pathways of development rather than a single universal sequence, the contributors view the individual as potentially advancing in a wide range of interrelated and overlapping competencies. This volume frames issues, events and longitudinal data through the lens of possibility rather than the pathology of defeat, stressing a positive approach to the conception of human potential.
