4.9/5 (23341 ratings)

Description:Over the last two decades or so, community-based efforts have been increasingly pushed to the front line and promoted as the 'best' way to solve many, if not most, of our social problems--including homelessness, drug addiction, the spread of infectious diseases, home-grown terrorism, and delinquency and youth violence. Community-based, social justice organizations orient to youth crime as a product of social injustice. They have creative and often radical ideas about how social change can foster personal change and work daily to transform the social and penal policies aimed at poor young people, particular youth of color. Progressive and critical scholars will need to better understand these organizations, in part because they provide a way to engage with today's possibilities for change in youth justice. Drawing on research on the work of twelve social justice organizations that use social consciousness, community organizing, and community advocacy as violence prevention, this book examines the impact of community organizations on crime control and prevention, under neoliberal governance. It offers a bottom-up approach, looking at what community actors are doing, documenting the challenges they face, and connecting these to the broader structures and logics that the organizations operate in. It investigate how communities react to the crisis youth face under neoliberalism, and how they implement on-the-ground practices to deal with multiple levels of disadvantage and deep exclusion.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
