Sorting out genuine findings from popular misconceptions and misleading headlines, this concise and wide-ranging reference covers the crucial adolescent years, ages 11-16, acknowledging diversity of background and experience in the group, and differences and similarities with African American girls as well as with other boys. In addition, the authors review strengths-based school and community programs that harness evidence and insights to promote pro-social behavior. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured areas of coverage include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe protective role of ethnic identity and racial socialization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily management, cohesion, communication, and well-being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment and importance of peer relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth and well-being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical perspectives on educational achievement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactors that contribute to delinquency and victimization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat works: effective programs and practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfrican American Boys\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for a wide range of clinicians and practitioners\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e– as well as researchers and graduate students – in school and clinical child psychology, prevention and public health, social work, mental health therapy and counseling, family therapy, and criminal justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493917167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-1717-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 174\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47389758390412,"sku":"9781493917167","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493917167.jpg?v=1775761246","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493917167","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
