Adolescents in Public Housing incorporates data from multiple
public-housing sites in large U.S. cities to shine much-needed
light on African American youth living in non-HOPE VI
public-housing neighborhoods. With findings grounded in research,
the book gives practitioners and policy makers a solid grasp of the
attitudes toward deviance, alcohol and drug abuse, and depressive
symptoms characterizing these communities, and links them
explicitly to gaps in policy and practice. A long-overdue study of
a system affecting not just a minority of children but the American
public at large, Adolescents in Public Housing initiates new,
productive paths for research on this vulnerable population and
contributes to preventive interventions that may improve the lives
of affected youth.
