The Family Context of Childhood Delinquency

Justin W. Patchin

Patchin reviews the empirical and theoretical research on family relationships and delinquent behavior and examines the efficacy of intervention targeting serious and violent young offenders between the ages of 10 and 13. Because parents are an important influence in adolescent development at this age, Patchin argues that interventions targeting young populations must incorporate family-based programming that seeks to improve the familial environment. To this end, he maintains that youth involved in an intervention at this developmental stage must be kept in their families if possible. His analysis investigates the way in which family bonds and structures and family-focused intervention and community-based programming are associated with delinquency desistance among childhood offenders.

Paul Revere's Ride

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The classic poem in a newly illustrated edition. Paul Revere and his famous ride were immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in a poem published in 1861, more than eighty years after the even. Longfellow wrote the poem at the time of the Civil War. He hoped that his story of an ordinary citizen who comes to the aid of his country would stir patriotic feelings and support for the Union. He was right. In face, if it hadn't been for Longfellow, Paul Revere may have remained a local legend. The poem fired the imaginations of Americans and a national hero was born. This illustrated edition of the classic poem features vivid oil paintings by Monica Vachula, whose research into period and place can be seen in the smallest detail. A concluding note by historian Jayne Triber, author of A True Republican: The Life of Paul Revere, explores the poem and Paul Revere's place in American history.

Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens

Den engelske forfatter Charles Dickens (1812-1870) klassiker Oliver Twist udkom oprindeligt som en føljeton. I bogform kom romanen i 1838, og i 1840 udkom den første danske oversættelse. I denne udgave er teksten fra Aage Nymanns oversættelse og bearbejdelse af det engelske forlæg. Hittebarnet Oliver Twist opdrages i et fattighus – en hård skæbne, som ikke bliver mildnet, da han kommer i lære. Han flygter til London og havner i en tyvebande, som ledes af den gamle jøde Fagin. Banden forsøger på alle måder at oplære Oliver i den lyssky kunst, men forgæves. Under det første tyvetogt får den ædle velhaver Mr. Brownlow medlidenhed med den uskyldige dreng og tager ham til sig. Lykken er kun kort: tyvebanden kidnapper Oliver, men til alt held lykkes det ham at undslippe. Han får et nyt hjem hos to damer og pigen Rose, men går nu i evig angst for, at banden skal finde ham igen. Oliver Twist er Charles Dickens’ populæreste roman, og den hører stadig til de mest læste bøger i verden. Historien om Olivers trængsler i Londons underverden var Charles Dickens' kritiske kommentar til den barske ny fattiglov i England i 1834.
