Group Homes For Children And Adolescents
[ send me this paper ]
A 42 page comprehensive research paper. This paper begins by reporting data regarding the incidence of mental, emotional and behavior problems among children and youth and comments on the controversy regarding residential placement for youngsters. The next section reports the history of group homes in this nation, beginning in the 1700s and following through to the latest trends in the structure of group homes. The third section reports on the different models of residential facilities and their typical characteristics for children and adolescents, which is followed with a discussion of the services each of the residential settings provides. The next section reports the outcomes for the different residential placements beginning with the fact that there is a dearth of empirical studies to validate the efficacy of these kinds of placements. This is a comprehensive discussion that includes the research that is available, including surveys of the perceptions of children and youth who are in group placements, and the opinions of many experts, including the Surgeon General's Office. The general consensus is that residential treatment centers and other types of public children's/youth residential placements may do more harm than good. The last section includes recommendations for research that is very much needed in this field. Throughout the paper are reports about the funding and the laws regarding some of these kinds of placements. There is also a discussion about the success of Boys Town. Data are included. 1 Table is included. Bibliography lists 18 sources.

Homelessness: Rates, Causes, Conflicts and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the rates, causes, conflicts and possible solutions to homelessness in America. The issue of homelessness within the United States has been studied from many different perspectives. From one perspective, homelessness is seen as a very serious problem which must be overcome from a national initiative to combat poverty and create affordable housing. Studies over the past three decades have tried to determine the main causes of homelessness in America and what solutions can be used to decrease the number of homeless people in the country. From another perspective, urban planners, politicians and those within the justice system often deal with homelessness as a problem which must be removed to accomplish urban renewal projects and many policies towards the homeless have actually become “increasingly punitive, ranging from Welfare reform (effectively reducing program funding and changing the eligibility requirements) to NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) tactics such as anti-camping, anti-panhandling, and zoning ordinances created to remove homeless populations and facilities from specific locations”.
Bibliography lists 12 sources.

particular population is especially vulnerable to discrimination as a
result of the stigma attached to the dual nature of their difference
from the majority. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
