An exploratory study of after school programs as a strategy for preventing juvenile delinquency, 2006
Get PDFThis study examined after school programs as a strategy for preventing juvenile delinquency. The dependent variable, after school programs was correlated with the independent variable, juvenile delinquency. The population consisted of 24 members of the East Dekalb Boys and Girls Club, both male and female, between the ages of 10-14. The participants were given informed consent forms. A 25-item questionnaire was administered to the participants at the after school program. The Chi-Square statistical test revealed no statistical significance between after school programs preventing juvenile delinquency which does not support the researcher's hypothesis: That children involved in some form of supervised after school program are less likely to become involved in any delinquent activities
The development of the Negro novelist, 1941
No full textThis investigative study seeks to show the emergence of the Negro novelist out of the web of imprisoning conventional limitations and, simultaneously, to trace his progress in craftsmanship and aesthetic consciousness. Considerable controversy has grown out of the emphasis placed on the social setting in literature. However, realizing the important social ramifications of the colored writer's persistent problems, one need give in this connection little consideration to this intellectual dispute. Therefore, in the conduct of this study, the procedure will be to discuss the cultural, social, political, economic, and even religious background of the periods. Three stages in this development are distinguishable. The first is the period of slavery and the Civil War, extending from 1840-1865. The second period lasts only a few years, 1896-1911. The third period begins in the early nineteen twenties and continues to the present time (1941)
