Kritik
From the book reviews:

"Aptekar and Stoecklin's book provides a comprehensive review of research on street children ... . Street Children and Homeless Youth provides excellent examples of the challenges and considerations that one should address when conducting research across cultures. ... this book would be a valuable resource for scholars interested in a variety of topics, including children in difficult circumstances and childhood in the majority world." (Judith L. Gibbons and Katelyn E. Poelker, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (33), August, 2014)mehr
