Juvenile Justice and Schools: Policing, Processing, and Programming
examines the complex relationship between educational institutions
and the juvenile justice system. Readers learn about factors that
contribute to juvenile delinquency, how schools can prevent and
manage juvenile delinquency, and how individuals can leverage
resources other than police or justice systems in response to
behavioral concerns. Each chapter examines a specific topic and
demonstrates how the topic intersects with school systems and
juvenile justice systems. Dedicated chapters explore poverty and
its impact on school readiness; the school-to-prison pipeline;
racial and gender disproportionality in school discipline
practices; and police presence in schools. Students learn about the
juvenile justice system, peer mediation as a means to reduce
conflicts, strategies for reducing school violence, anti-bullying
programs, and more. Juvenile Justice and Schools is an ideal
resource for undergraduate and graduate level courses in sociology,
criminology, and criminal justice. It can also be used in minor
programs in peace studies, education, and juvenile delinquency.
This Open Access volume highlights how tree ring stable isotopes
have been used to address a range of environmental issues from
paleoclimatology to forest management, and anthropogenic impacts on
forest growth. It will further evaluate weaknesses and strengths of
isotope applications in tree rings. In contrast to older tree ring
studies, which predominantly applied a pure statistical approach
this book will focus on physiological mechanisms that influence
isotopic signals and reflect environmental impacts. Focusing on
connections between physiological responses and drivers of isotope
variation will also clarify why environmental impacts are not
linearly reflected in isotope ratios and tree ring widths. This
volume will be of interest to any researcher and educator who uses
tree rings (and other organic matter proxies) to reconstruct
paleoclimate as well as to understand contemporary functional
processes and anthropogenic influences on native ecosystems. The
use of stable isotopes in biogeochemical studies has expanded
greatly in recent years, making this volume a valuable resource to
a growing and vibrant community of researchers.
Renee saw him falling right in front of her...hard to the ground
from several loud blasts of a gun. Who had shot him? Why wasn't he
moving? Why should she care, it was all just in a days work for
her, and this was a nobody, right? The bling'd out brotha was
probably just another thug, criminal drug dealer. Only Renee knew
the truth, that this was her son. Nothing in her bible could have
ever prepared her for this gruesome scene, and as a news writer for
a local Baltimore television station, she'd seen her share of death
and destruction. But why him, why now? Why when she'd just put her
complete and total trust in her God who was a healer, a way maker,
a protector? She used to be somebody's perfect wife, and perfect
mother, with perfect children that led what she perceived as a
perfect life. To make matters worse, this horrific event is just a
small leak in the dam that is about to break around her. Her world
is literally crumbling apart. How can she be expected to hold fast
to her faith when her present was in turmoil and her past was
determined to destroy her future?
