Book Youth Violence in Context

Download or read book Youth Violence in Context written by Eileen M. Ahlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book places youth violence within a Routine Activity Ecological Framework. Youth violence, specifically youth exposure to community violence and youth perpetration of violent behaviors, occur within various contexts. Ahlin and Antunes situate their discussion of youth violence within an ecological framework, identifying how it is nested within four mesosystem layers: community, family, peers and schools, and youth characteristics. Contextualized using an ecological framework, the Routine Activity Theory and Lifestyles perspective (RAT/LS) are well suited to guide an examination of youth violence risk and protective factors across the four layers. Drawing on scholarship that explores predictors and consequences of youth violence, the authors apply RAT/LS theory to explain how community, family, peers, schools, and youth characteristics influence youth behavior. Each layer of the ecological framework unfolds to reveal the latest scholarship and contextualizes how concepts of RAT/LS, specifically the motivated offender, target suitability, and guardianship, can be applied at each level. This book also highlights the mechanisms and processes that contribute to youth exposure to and involvement in violence by exploring factors examined in the literature as protective and risk factors of youth violence. Youth violence occurs in context, and, as such, the understanding of multilevel predictors and preventive measures against it can be situated within an RAT/LS ecological framework. This work links theory to extant research. Ahlin and Antunes demonstrate how knowledge of youth violence can be used to develop a robust theoretical foundation that can inform policy to improve neighborhoods and youth experiences within their communities, families, and peers and within their schools while acknowledging the importance of individual characteristics. This monograph is essential reading for those interested in youth violence, juvenile delinquency, and juvenile justice research and anyone dedicated to preventing crime among youths.

Book The Importance of Emotional Intelligence and Social Support for the Academic Success of Adolescents with and Without Learning Disabilities

Download or read book The Importance of Emotional Intelligence and Social Support for the Academic Success of Adolescents with and Without Learning Disabilities written by Marjorie Joanne Hogan and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though empirical evidence shows that academic attainment is directly related to employment, income, job marketability, and psychological well-being approximately 10% of adolescents, include 29 to 50% of adolescents with learning disabilities (LD), do not complete high school. Therefore it is important to understand the factors that predict and foster academic success. This dissertation extended previous research exploring the influence of emotional intelligence (EI) on academic success by investigating the influence of EI, grade point average (GPA), verbal cognitive intelligence (verbal IQ), socioeconomic status (SES), gender, peer social support and family social support on academic success as measured by grade point average (GPA). EI was measured using the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (Bar-On & Parker, 2000a), which consists of four dimensions: intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability and stress management. The Social Support Behaviors Scale (SSB; Vaux, Reidel, & Stewart, 1987), measured perceptions of social support on five dimensions: emotional, practical, financial, advice/guidance, and socializing, separately for peers and family. In Study One, path models by gender explored the individual and interactive influence between GPA and verbal IQ, EI, peer social support and family social support. For 192 (96 males, 96 females) Grade 10 students, EI partially mediated, for males but not females, the relationship between verbal IQ and GPA. The influence of EI was determined by adaptability and stress management abilities. Neither peer nor family social supports were mediators. Participants in Study Two were 44 students (22 with LD). Those with LD had significantly lower IQ, GPA, Nelson-Denny Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension, WIAT Arithmetic, EI, peer social support, and family social support scores than those without LD. Further, EI, peer social support and family social support did not act as protective factors for adolescents with LD by buffering its impact. For adolescents with LD, reading comprehension and arithmetic were significantly correlated with GPA whereas for adolescents without LD, EI, family social support and vocabulary were significantly correlated with GPA.

This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on ‘research on research methodologies’ – an area rarely addressed in social entrepreneurship. Methodological debates are integral to the quest for knowledge and to advancing theories and practices in any field, and, as a multi-disciplinary and emerging field, social entrepreneurship cannot avoid such debates. Providing a fresh perspective on social entrepreneurship research, the book includes contributions from diverse disciplinary settings, e.g. sociology, psychology, social work, anthropology, public policy, economics and management, and discusses the ‘methodological challenges’ of practice as well as social entrepreneurship research. Rather than favouring any particular method or methodological approach, it acknowledges the diversity of methodological approaches needed to reveal the nuances of social entrepreneurship and promote new knowledge and practices in this promising field.
