Focusing on the concept of 'at-risk youth,' the book critiques the effectiveness of programs designed to aid marginalized young people. Greenberg's ethnographic research in Los Angeles reveals how well-intentioned initiatives often fail due to their short-term nature and the pressures of institutional oversight. The narrative combines sociological insights with personal reflections, highlighting the challenges faced by youth in navigating these programs. It serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the societal structures that shape the lives of vulnerable populations.
