Download or read book The Ghetto Underclass written by William J. Wilson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993-08-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the American Academy of Political and Social Science William Julius Wilson is a leader in the study of the urban underclass. His controversial thesis states that the fragmentation of the black community along class lines has resulted in a group of blacks who have left the inner city for middle-class suburban life, leaving behind the ghetto underclass of very disadvantaged poor. This thesis has had an enormous impact on the study of urban life, race, and society. Originally published as a special issue of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, The Ghetto Underclass addresses questions from theoretical, empirical, and policy perspectives. Wilson and other leading social scientists cover demographic and industrial transitions, family patterns, sexual behavior, immigration, and homelessness of the urban underclass. Wilson's introduction updates recent work on this topic since publication of the Annals issue. The Ghetto Underclass should be read by all students and professionals of urban studies, ethnic studies, sociology, policy studies, political science, social work, social welfare, and education.

Download or read book Puerto Ricans in the United States written by Maria E. Perez y Gonzalez and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-08-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puerto Ricans in the United States begins by presenting Puerto Rico—the land, the people, and the culture. The island's invasion by U.S. forces in 1898 set the stage for our intertwined relationship to the present day. Pérez y González brings to life important historical events leading to immigration to the United States, particularly to the large northeastern cities, such as New York. The narrative highlights Puerto Ricans' adjustment and adaptation in this country through the media, institutions, language, and culture. A wealth of information is given on socioeconomic status, including demographics, employment, education opportunities, and poverty and public assistance. The discussions on the struggles of this group for affordable housing, issues of women and children, particular obstacles to obtaining appropriate health care, including the epidemic of AIDS, and race relations are especially insightful. The final chapter on Puerto Ricans' impact on U.S. society highlights their positive contributions in a wide range of fields.

Book excerpt: Published in 1997. Adolescent mothers are more likely to encounter a variety of economic and social ills than women who delay childbearing until they are adults. This work is a comprehensive examination of the extent to which these undesirable outcomes are attributable to teen pregnancy itself rather than to the wider environment in which most of the pregnancies and the subsequent child-rearing take place. It also examines the consequences of adolescent pregnancy for the fathers of children, and even more importantly, for the children themselves.

Download or read book Late Adolescence and the Transition to Adulthood written by Lonnie R. Sherrod and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing that the rate and scope of change during early adolescence creates special vulnerabilities and opportunities for intervention directs research attention to the third decade of life. Examination of late adolescence and the transition to adulthood is essential in order to maximize understanding of the longer term importance of development during early adolescence. The rich body of knowledge on early adolescence allows for certain questions regarding late adolescence to be addressed: * What are the effects of problems and/or successes during early adolescence? * How much plasticity remains? * Where and how much is the opportunity for continued change constrained? The data make possible an in-depth examination of development during late adolescence as individuals make the transition to adult responsibilities in a variety of domains. A number of empirical research questions have been fueled by social change and by more than a decade of research on childhood and adolescence. As a result, this issue is devoted specifically to late adolescence as it sets the stage for and leads into the third decade of life. The editors aim -- in addition to striving for quality in science and in significance of research -- was to capture as many diverse themes, perspectives, fields, topics, and methods as possible that have been described for research on adolescence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to examine issues related to schools, violence, and society. Since the 1960s, crime and violence have been increasing in America's schools. This violence is not limited to inner-city schools, but has struck virtually every strata and socio-economic level of American culture and society. The prevalence of crime and violence occurring in our nation's schools has become the concern of policymakers on the national and state levels. Concern has spread to parents, educators, and students themselves. This edited volume reviews violence in society, school violence, and crime. Coverage includes past trends in school violence and describes the current extent of the problem, as well as tspects of its causes and prevention. The influence on the students and community of gang activity, gang-related issues, drugs, alcohol, and weapons on campus is discussed.
