investigating the role of neighborhood Youth Organizations in preventing adolescent violent offending evidence from chicago
Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 2015Co-Authors: Gregory M Zimmerman, Brandon C Welsh, Chad PosickAbstract:Neighborhood Youth Organizations are a salient community-level resource in the lives of children and adolescents, but empirical research on the aggregate-level relationship between neighborhood crime rates and neighborhood Organizations is mixed. This study attempts to clarify and extend prior research by examining (1) whether there is a contextual effect of neighborhood Youth Organizations on individual violent offending, and (2) whether neighborhood Youth Organizations have conditioning, beneficial effects that extend beyond the Youths who participate in these Organizations. Data from two components of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods were utilized in this study: the Community Survey and the Longitudinal Cohort Study. A three-level logistic item response model nested 15,242 violent crime item responses within 1,912 subjects from cohorts aged 9, 12, and 15 years; subjects were nested within 79 neighborhoods across the city of Chicago. Neighborhood Youth Organizations did not have a direct, contextual effect on adolescent violent offending. But, the effects of neighborhood Youth Organizations were heterogeneous in that they reduced the effects of low self-control on violent crime. Moreover, the conditioning role of neighborhood Youth Organizations operated partly through child-centered informal social control. Neighborhood Organizations matter in the etiology of Youthful offending, but the ways in which these Organizations are relevant are nuanced. Research must continue to grapple with the various mechanisms through which neighborhood Organizations operate. Illuminating these processes may hold key insights for designing and implementing neighborhood Organizations to prevent adolescent violent offending.

ADOLESCENTS' EXPOSURE TO COMMUNITY VIOLENCE: ARE NEIGHBORHOOD Youth Organizations PROTECTIVE?
Journal of community psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Margo Gardner, Jeanne Brooks-gunnAbstract:Using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), we identified a significant inverse association between the variety of Youth Organizations available at the neighborhood level and adolescents' exposure to community violence. We examined two non-competing explanations for this finding. First, at the individual level, we tested the hypothesis that access to a greater variety of neighborhood Youth Organizations predicts adolescents' participation in organized community-based activities, which, in turn, protects against community violence exposure. Second, at the neighborhood level, we tested the hypothesis that lower violent crime rates explain the inverse relation between neighborhood Youth organization variety and community violence exposure. Our findings supported the latter of these two mechanisms. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Generating peace: A study of nonformal Youth Organizations
Peace & Change, 2003Co-Authors: Leonisa ArdizzoneAbstract:Youth today encounter many obstacles—including poverty, violence, and marginalization—that often result in feelings of hopelessness and despair leading to harmful behaviors. This sometimes has led to the scapegoating of Youth in society. However, many Youth have chosen to confront these media-propagated stereotypes by becoming involved positively in their com- munities. Utilizing a conceptual framework and philosophy of education that incorporates structural violence theory and peace education pedagogy, this article explores the impact involvement has on inner-city Youth who have chosen to address issues of direct and structural violence as peace- builders. The empirical research conducted established that involvement in a prosocial organization had an impact on personal growth, on interest in learning, in a desire to “get their word out,” and in reinforcing an ethic of social responsibility. This research supports the creation of bottom-up education programs that incorporate the voices of Youth in their design and development.

Social Science Research Network, 2015Co-Authors: Maria Hendrikhovna MatevosyanAbstract:Russian Abstract: Молодежная организация как социальная категория считается одной из форм проявления общественной инициативы детей и молодых людей, которая дает возможность удовлетворить свойственную им потребность в социальной деятельности. В подрастающем поколении формируется основа для общественной деятельности, а так же появляется возможность проявления общих переживаний и стремления к саморазвитию.English Abstract: Youth organization as a social category considered to be one of the manifestations of social initiatives for children and young people, which makes it possible to satisfy their inherent need for social activities. The younger generation forms the basis for social activities, as well as the opportunity to experience the common symptoms and the desire for self-development.
