Phil Anderton served over 27 years in the UK police service. He recently commenced a second career as a management consultant. His interest in ADHD evolved out of his responsibilities for reducing youth crime in Lancashire, although he soon realised that ADHD can result in many poor social outcomes above and beyond a criminal record. He has assisted many national policing working groups, especially those for crime and intelligence sharing. In 2002 he was awarded the Crime Concern Problem Solver of the Year Award for his successes in reducing crime in Lancashire. Phil assists many agencies across Europe regarding ADHD and the criminal justice system and he is an acclaimed international speaker on this subject.

"As an adult who has ADHD from childhood and I have had my fair share of issues with the police and courts as a consequence, I really appreciate the interest in this subject taken by Phil Anderton.

This book should be read by anyone and everyone who deals with youngsters who have the disorder, if the people who looked after me had recognised my Tipping Points and done right by me, I might not have the criminal record that I have,

"This book is very welcome - it takes the lessons from the scientific study of ADHD and applies them to a social and justice perspective. It deserves to be read widely, especially by those who doubt whether the individual's vulnerability of ADHD is relevant to how society should react"

" Phil Anderton, an experienced police officer, has seen that many who get in trouble with the law have ADHD, In this book he clearly describes what ADHD is and makes very practical suggestins for how those with ADHD can be powerfully helped by appropriate treatment. His approach is sensible, compassionate and desperately needed.
