Publisher Synopsis
Adolescents in Public Housing is an important contribution to our understanding of neighborhood effects and, more specifically, the contextual issues for a large number of African American youth living in public housing. This is an important area of study for a vulnerable population of young people and families. -- Elizabeth Anthony, associate professor, School of Social Work, Arizona State University Most public-housing research is deficit based. It looks at ways to decrease crime by destroying dwellings, not by promoting community strength. In contrast, this book purposefully analyzes and incorporates community context to advance a strengths-based approach to intervention with troubled youth. The environmental systems on which it draws are extensive (family, community, and neighborhood), and their influence on both the positive and negative aspects of adolescent mental health are analyzed in depth. The book is original and will contribute to the literature in the field. -- Elizabeth Danto, professor of social work emeritus, Hunter College Read more...
