Creating And Strengthening The Therapeutic System For Treatment Setting Serving Deaf Children, Asiah Mason, Matthew Mason, Earl T. Braxton

JADARA

Treating deaf children with severe emotional and behavior problems, especially in residential and alternative school treatment settings, is a demanding undertaking. Finding and retaining skilled mental health paraprofessionals are continual challenges faced by mental health service providers. These challenges are even greater when the children served are deaf, and when staff members are expected to be multilingual, be knowledgeable about deaf culture, and be able to treat children with a multitude of severe mental health disturbances. Staff members face the dilemma of both raising and treating children in the same setting with limited resources. Limited funding and limited service models …

Integrated Perspective Of Low Self-Control And Lifestyle-Exposure: Gender Differences In Victimization Risk Among South Korean Youth, Hyounggon Kwak

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examined the link between low self-control, risky lifestyles, and victimization, using data from 1,057 South Korean adolescents included in the Study on Childhood Delinquency. Specifically, this study explores a full mediation model to test whether risky lifestyles (unstructured activity, association with deviant peers, and delinquency) account for the effect of low self-control on victimization. The results indicated that low self-control only had an indirect effect on victimization primarily through unstructured time and one’s own delinquency. In addition, this study explored whether variations in the adolescent routine activities foster engagement in delinquency via association with deviant peers. Advancing prior …

A Longitudinal Examination Of African American Adolescent Females Detained For Status Offense, Dexter R. Voisin

Methods: 188 African American girls (aged 13–17), recruited from detention facilities, were surveyed at baseline and 3-month follow-ups. Logistic regression models estimated the likelihood of longitudinal re-confinement, controlling for sexual and behavioral health risk factors. Results: One third …

The Impact Of Mentoring School-Aged Youth Facing Challenges In School, Brianna M. Jones

McNair Scholars Research Journal

According to Owings (1988), the term “at-risk” refers to a student who is more likely to fail in school based on factors such as low academic achievement, attendance, or behavioral issues, however other factors place students at-risk, such as substance abuse, violence, trauma, and involvement with the criminal justice system. This literature review examines the impact of mentoring as an intervention to support students who are facing academic, social, or emotional challenges in school. These students may be at greater risk of entering the school-to-prison pipeline (STPP). There is a gap in the literature on how mentoring programs can promote …

The Anatomy Of Violent Crime: How Judicial Analysis For “Crimes Of Violence” Impacts Juveniles When Applied To The Federal Juvenile Delinquency And Transfer Statute, Anna Derkacz

Seventh Circuit Review

In 1984, the Comprehensive Crime Control Act revolutionized sentencing in the federal system by imposing mandatory minimum sentences for offenders who committed criminal offenses, increasing penalties for repeat offenses considered to be violent crimes. Since then, courts across the country have labored over defining what constitutes a “violent crime.” In the federal court system, juveniles can be transferred to adult proceedings under The Juvenile Transfer Statute.

Revealing The Resistant Capital Of Cambodian Youth: Using Photovoice As A Tool For Advocacy And Policy Change, Erin L. Papa

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

This paper explores the use of Photovoice as a tool for uncovering or developing resistant capital (Yosso, 2005) with youth for language education policy change. Using data from a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) study on the relationships and tensions among the home, community, and school linguistic and social practices of emergent bilingual Cambodian youth in an urban district in the northeastern U.S., I argue that the development of resistant capital depends on various contextual and demographic factors.
