Social exclusion begins in childhood, with poor parenting, truancy and disrupted education. The effects can be catastrophic, for the individual and society, and are not infrequently implicated in mental illness in adulthood. Reports the findings of three linked research projects into the social and financial costs of social exclusion among young people. The studies show that rates of crime, suicide and unexpected death are highest among the most excluded, but that the cycle of disadvantage can be broken by practical, school-based preventive intervention.
