Violence and crimes committed by teenagers and even children is becoming an increasingly common problem in the 1990s. In schools, fist-fights have been replaced by shootings and stabbings to the point that some high schools have been forced to install metal detectors. People in many neighborhoods no longer feel safe in their apartments, let alone on the streets. Between drive-by-shootings and gang beatings, their really is no where to hide anymore. But has juvenile violence exploded into our society because we haven't been tough enough with juvenile offenders? Or is the erosion of moral standards the culprit? Maybe it's just the lack of hope millions of kids feel who see no reasonable prospect of succeeding by working hard and following the rules? Each of these questions leads to a different diagnosis and ultimately a different prescription for what to do if we as a nation are serious about dealing with the problem. This latest book is the National Issues Forum series is designed to initiate discussions on juvenile violence and suggest ways in which to effectively focus our resources and energies to deal it.

Kids Who Commit Crimes

This book tells the story of Fielding Graduate University, an institution that started a radically innovative doctoral program in the 1970s, and initiated many changes that have been widely adopted ever since. Fielding’s founders, a colorful group of publicly engaged scholar-practitioners, were visionaries intent on creating a new kind of educational experience for adults. They were utopians who set out to realize a mission of social change and comprehensive institutional innovation. Now that the learning model of this pioneering program has moved into the mainstream of higher education, Fielding’s story is particularly pertinent today. Increasingly, questions are being raised about how doctoral education should be delivered, and whether traditional programs are equipping their graduates with the knowledge and competencies they need to succeed. Fielding’s experience, which is vividly captured in this highly readable account, offers a lens and a mirror for many people in higher learning who are engaged in institutional innovation and in redesigning doctoral education for the 21st century.
