Dettlaff presents a call to abolish the American child welfare system due to the harm and destruction it causes Black families. Dettlaff traces the origins of the modern child welfare system, which emerged following the abolition of slavery, to demonstrate that the harm and oppression that result from child welfare intervention are not the result of unintended consequences but rather are the clear intents of the system and the foreseeable results of the policies that have been put in place over decades.By tracing the history of family separations in the United States since the era of slavery, Confronting the Racist Legacy of the American Child Welfare System demonstrates that the intended outcomes of those separations--the subjugation of Black Americans and the maintenance of white supremacy--are the same intended outcomes of the family separations done today.

This analysis is just what is needed right now to document the ways that the carceral logic of the so-called child welfare system is a cornerstone of the larger punishment apparatus that has emerged from persistent White supremacy, enslavement, and genocide in this country.

It offers insights into the complex contradictions, geo-histories, ideologies and experiences that shape the present realities and futures of South African youth. It presents youth not only as products of history, but as architects of new thinking and imaginations that are futuristic.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Malaika Mahlatsi, Bestselling Author of Memoirs of a Born Free: Reflections on the Rainbow Nation and Corridors of Death: The Struggle to Exist in Historically White Institutions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e PART ONE – UNDERSTANDING YOUTH AND THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.

Adolescent addiction problems such as substance abuse, pathological gambling and Internet addiction are intensifying. Furthermore, interpersonal problems such as violence and bullying have grown in different forms, particularly in view of the growing development of social media such as Facebook. In many studies, it was estimated that around one-fifth of adolescents may require professional help because of their psychosocial problems. In this book, the authors present the first known scientific study on the psychosocial development in Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. A large sample was used and validated measures of positive youth development, family functioning, parent-child relational processes and adolescent risk behaviour were included in the study.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886072082775,"sku":"9781536125399","price":195.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536125399.jpg?v=1722538718"},{"product_id":"young-people-leisure-places-cross-cultural-perspectives-9781594540295","title":"Young People, Leisure \u0026 Places: Cross Cultural","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYoung People, Leisure and Place reports on cross-cultural research into the personal geographies of young people. It explores young people''s leisure and recreational pursuits, including favourite places, and.offers a tentative theory of adolescent thinking and development. The major themes explored are the impact of globalisation on young people, their reference systems and their use of private and public spaces. Evidence is presented of global, national and local dimensions of growing up in different countries in a post-modern world. The book contributes to a better understanding of issues of contemporary citizenship in a globalised world where the commodification of knowledge blurs boundaries and values. Effective citizenship in a world of time-space compression and instant access to diverse sources of information is problematic. This book provides a fascinating insight into the discerning values of young people. As they reveal their hopes and dreams within the knowledge society, the young people involved in this cross-cultural enquiry also highlight their conservatism and the traditional core values associated with their homes and families.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886507831639,"sku":"9781594540295","price":73.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781594540295.jpg?v=1722540373"},{"product_id":"not-grown-up-forever-a-chinese-conception-of-adolescent-development-9781600210747","title":"Not Grown Up Forever: A Chinese Conception of","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886583329111,"sku":"9781600210747","price":122.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781600210747.jpg?v=1722540731"},{"product_id":"focus-on-adolescent-behavior-research-9781600216978","title":"Focus on Adolescent Behavior Research","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelopmentally, puberty is accompanied by major physical and emotional changes that alter a young person''s relationships and patterns of interaction with others. The transition into adolescence begins the move toward independence from parents and the need to establish one''s own values, personal and sexual identity, and the skills and competencies needed to compete in adult society. Independence requires young people to renegotiate family rules and degree of supervision by parents, a process that can generate conflict and withdrawal from parents. At the same time, social networks expand, and relationships with peers and adults in new social contexts equal or exceed in importance the relationships with parents. The criteria for success and acceptance among peers and adults change. Adapting to all of these changes in relationships, social contexts, status, and performance criteria can generate great stress, feelings of rejection, and anger at perceived or real failure. Young people may be attracted to violent behaviour as a way of asserting their independence of the adult world and its rules, as a way of gaining the attention and respect of peers, as a way of compensating for limited personal competencies, or as a response to restricted opportunities for success at school or in the community. Good relationships with parents during childhood will help in a successful transition to adolescence, but they do not guarantee it. This new book presents new research in the field.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886604071255,"sku":"9781600216978","price":176.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781600216978.jpg?v=1722540826"},{"product_id":"disconnected-youth-9781608761357","title":"Disconnected Youth","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolicymakers and youth advocates have begun to focus greater attention on young people who are not working or in school. Generally characterised as \"disconnected\", these youth may also lack strong social networks that provide assistance in the form of employment connections and other supports such as housing and financial assistance. Without attachment to work or school, disconnected youth may be vulnerable to experiencing negative outcomes as they transition to adulthood. Like the existing research, the CRS analysis finds that a greater share of female and minority youth are disconnected. However, the analysis evaluates some other characteristics that have not been widely studied in the existing research. For instance, compared to their peers in the general population, disconnected youth tend to have fewer years of education, and are more likely to live apart from their parents and to have children. Disconnected youth are also twice as likely to be poor than their connected peers. This book provides information about the characteristics of disconnected youth, and the circumstances in which they live.

In contrast, there are very few systematic and multi-year positive youth development programs in Hong Kong. To promote holistic development among adolescents the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust approved a grant to launch a project entitled \"P.A.T.H.S. to Adulthood: A Jockey Club Youth Enhancement Scheme\" and invited academics of five universities to form a Research Team with the Chinese University of Hong Kong as the lead institution to develop a multi-year universal positive youth development program to promote holistic adolescent development in Hong Kong. Besides from developing the program, the Research Team also provides training for teachers and social workers who implement the program and carry out longitudinal evaluation of the project.
