Youth-Initiated Mentoring
This article examines the experiences of three families who were unable to secure mentors through a Youth-Initiated Mentoring (YIM) program. YIM is an emerging mentoring model that invites youth to identify adults in their existing networks and nominate them as mentors. The emerging evidence on YIM has been largely positive; however, important opportunities remain to explore potential risks. Data were collected from six participants, who included…
Eminent domain destroys a community
This study examines the eminent domain action in 1942 where the federal government took 411 acres of land, including an African American neighborhood, to construct the Pentagon building in Arlington County, Virginia. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution acknowledges the right of the federal government to exercise eminent domain where needed for the common good, but requires that property owners be given just compensation. This study explo…

Southern Suburb/Northern City
Most scholarship on racial segregation in U.S. cities retraces the Great Migration, from the rural South to the urbanizing, industrializing North. Arlington County, Virginia, adjacent to the large, prosperous black community of Washington, D.C., provides a unique opportunity to study processes that transcended this dichotomy. During segregation blacks were limited to living and doing business in three of the County's 38 census tracts. Using censu…
Relationships among Locus of Control, Coronary-Prone Behavior, and Suicidal Ideation
This study examined how each of two factors, coronary-prone behavior and locus of control, are related to suicidal ideation in a college population. 43 students (23 men and 20 women) completed the Jenkins-Glass College Activity Survey, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and a self-assessment questionnaire of suicidal ideation. Scores on Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control and the Suicidal Ideation Scale were significantly …
