Conversation with indigenous social worker on Kahnawake reserve
For my conversation, I decided to speak with a social worker on the Kahnawake reserve, an area traditionally inhabited by the Mohawk people. I chose this subject for several critical reasons. First, I felt that a social worker would be able to provide a unique insider/outsider perspective on the problems of the Mohawk. On one hand, as a member of the tribe, he would still be 'of the people' and able to offer an insider's point-of-view, on the other hand he would also have the distanced perspective of someone who had studied some of the social problems faced by the Mohawk as part of his academic training. He would have listened to complaints about many of the problems and challenges of residents of the reserve, and although he could not break confidentiality, he could offer me a perspective larger than that of a single individual, based upon his knowledge of his clients. Finally, regarding the issue of informed consent, I believed that a social worker who had experience in reading research studies would be able to fully appreciate what constituted informed consent for an interview, given his experiences and training in objective, Western, scientific methodology. One article on the need for more indigenous social workers that I read reflected a "common thread" which was "the urgent need for professionally educated social work practitioners from Native communities working in Native communities. Underscored was the need to have Native approaches to learning and Native instructors" (Ives et al. 2007: 16).
I prepared for the interview by researching the tribe, mainly online, including information about some of the legal disputes the tribe is involved with, issues pertaining to reservation...

Social Disorganization Theory There are myriad examples in the literature of how the social disorganization theory links street crimes with ecological themes in certain tough neighborhoods. The sociological aspect of the theory -- wretched socioeconomic conditions and mean, gang-dominated streets offer more of an accounting for crime or delinquency than the individuals who commit crimes -- has been tested and referenced as valid by numerous scholars and researchers. The theory seems

…Chapter 1IntroductionStudent truancy is a growing problem in the United States. Over the last twenty years the truancy rates have grown nationwide with the highest rates in inner cities (Jacob & Lovett, 2017). Research indicates that student truancy leads to potential socially deviant behavior in adulthood (Dronkers, Veerman, & Pong, 2017).
