Question 2

One of these three youths just got released into the community and placed on aftercare. The other two have never been convicted of a crime. Based on the studies mentioned here in chapter 11, which one do you think is on aftercare?
  1 ) Steve, a 15-year-old middle class white male with a C average at school.
  2 ) Shawon, a 17-year-old African American Male, whose father died three years ago, forcing his mother to work full time as a maid at Hotel 6.
  3 ) Monique, a 14-year-old Hispanic female whose parents are still together.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Shawon would be the likeliest one on aftercare.
 Studies look at characteristics such as age, gender, economic status, and home situations.
 Youth on aftercare are mostly male, minority, older, and come from impoverished neighborhoods.
 About half live in a single-parent home.
