Inner City Kids: Adolescents Confront Life and Violence in an Urban Community (Qualitative Studies in Psychology) Publisher: NYU Press | 2000-11-01 | ISBN:0814756360 | PDF | 242 pages | 1.05 MB Product Description: Urban teens of color are often portrayed as welfare mothers, drop outs, drug addicts, and both victims and perpetrators of the many kinds of violence which can characterize life in urban areas. Although urban youth often live in contexts which include poverty, unemployment, and discrimination, they also live with the everydayness of school, friends, sex, television, music, and other elements of teenage lives. Inner City Kids explores how a group of African American, Jamaican, Puerto Rican, and Haitian adolescents make meaning of and respond to living in an inner-city community. The book focuses on areas of particular concern to the youth, such as violence, educational opportunities, and a decaying and demoralizing urban environment characterized by trash, pollution, and abandoned houses. McIntyre’s work with these teens draws upon participatory action research, which seeks to codevelop programs with study participants rather than for them, and exemplifies the youths’ efforts to create programs within their community to address their concerns. Advocating the incorporation of activism within the research experience, McIntyre here showcases the ways in which Participatory Action Research, along with community photography, can present opportunities for collaborative research with urban youth and other disempowered groups that can ultimately assist them in becoming agents of social change in their communities.

Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects, 2nd edition (Pacific Institute Series on Forensic Psychology) Publisher: CRC | ISBN: 0849372739 | edition 2008 | PDF | 408 pages | 2,58 mb The first wave of methamphetamine use began in the late 1980s and its prevalence has continued to rise across the United States and throughout the world. As with any harmful substance, its abuse has far-reaching ramifications that go beyond the destruction it causes to the human body. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects, Second Edition examines meth use and abuse from clinical, forensic, and criminal justice perspectives. Updated and expanded to reflect changes in recent years, this volume covers virtually every aspect of this dangerous drug. The book begins with a history of drug control in America, then provides global perspectives on methamphetamine use. It explores biochemical aspects and includes a chapter on the methamphetamine analogue “ecstasy.” The text examines the effects of meth use on human behavior, with a special focus on empirical evidence of amphetamine use as a contributing factor in aggression. The authors discuss forensic issues related to methamphetamine use in chapters covering expert testimony, criminal responsibility, mitigation in sentencing, and competency to stand trial. The last section examines various treatment modalities. As methamphetamine grows once again in popularity, it is crucial that those who deal with the effects of it be well-informed about the dangers it poses. This volume provides a comprehensive, critical survey of the current knowledge regarding the use and abuse of this dangerous and ubiquitous substance.
