Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking openly of their ideas about race, these nine and ten year-olds show they have internalized the prevailing western mindset—whatever their own ethnicity. And this mindset is racist. Research has long been needed into what children themselves think about cultural diversity and about efforts to counter racism in their schools. Here is the empirical, child-centered research that tells educators what they need to know. It was conducted with a sample of Year 5 pupils in two predominantly white and two diverse schools which were themselves involved in the research process. The book is suffused with their vibrant, profound and original voices and their often surprising ideas. The children's views are accompanied by the researcher's sociologically informed close observation of school life and the views and practice of the teachers, and the book concludes with the important implications she identifies for policy and practice in schools. It's Not Just About Black and White, Missis an enlightening and enjoyable read for primary teachers and trainees and offers grounded information for policy makers and school managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Download or read book Gender Differences in Family Relationships and School Delinquency written by Brittany A. Waldman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents spend most of their waking time in school or on school grounds, and as a result, many adolescents first encounter delinquency there. Research has found that youth who have strong family relationships develop positive relations with others, engage in pro-social activities, and avoid delinquent behavior. The purpose of this study is to explain the connection between family relationships and school delinquency and examine how these links vary by gender. In this research, social capital theory will be used to understand the connection between school delinquency and family relationships. The present study examined the associations between multiple aspects of family relationships (i.e. parental supervision, family rules, parental communication, parental school contact, parental interaction) and school delinquency. Analysis was conducted on the public-use data from the 2002 Educational Longitudinal Study (ELS: 2002), a nationally representative, longitudinal study of 10th graders (N=8,169). There were four research questions that were examined in this study: 1) What aspects of family relationships are associated with delinquency?; 2)? Are there gender differences in delinquency?; 3)? Are there gender differences in family relationships?; and 4)? Are there gender differences in the association between family relationships and delinquency? Results show that the family relationship variables were significantly associated with school delinquency, but these associations were not as strong as expected. Through gender interaction terms, only one of the family relationship variables had a different effect for males and females: parental school contact is positively related for both males and females, but this association is stronger for males. This study will contribute to the existing literature by highlighting more specifically what types of family dimensions' effect school delinquency more. Ideally, this will create the opportunity for schools to focus their attention on student's family life and risk and protective factors, when delinquency is becoming an issue in their academic success.

Download or read book Causes of Delinquency written by Travis Hirschi and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here. Often listed as a "Citation Classic," Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.
