A Differential Analysis of Depressed Mood Symptomology among Welfare-reliant African American and Latinx Women Heads of Household
The mixed-method study is a differential analysis of clinical depression symptomology among a sample (N = 30) of welfare-reliant African American and Latinx women whom are heads of their households. It is one of only a few such studies that compare these groups on a depression measure. Most of the sample were enrollees in state-mandated Welfare-to-Work (W-t-W) in a southeastern state along the Atlantic coast. The Black women were born and raised …

Veteran community reintegration (VCR) difficulties impact personal, interpersonal, educational/occupational, and community aspects of returning military service members. Sense of community (SOC), an individual's feeling of membership, influence, need fulfillment, and emotional connection, is the theoretical underpinnings for community-based practice interventions used with this population. This study investigates the mediating role of SOC on the …

School-Based Violence Prevention Programs
School violence in the United States is an issue of grave concern for educators, students, parents, and communities. Many schools have responded to the problem by initiating prevention interventions without empirical evidence of effectiveness, assuming it is better to do something rather than to do nothing. In some cases though, more harm than good may result when such intervention strategies and programs are implemented only for the sake of doin…
The Criminal Bully -Linking Criminal Peer Bullying Behavior in Schools to a Continuum of Delinquency
In light of a recent wave of anti-bullying legislation following several high-profile incidents of school violence, this study explores the criminality that is inherent in certain acts of school bullying. These acts include physical aggression, theft of property or money, and damage to property, among others. As research continues to link school bullying and childhood aggression to later delinquency and adult criminal offending, “criminal bullies…
Privatized Management in Urban Public Housing
This article presents the results of a study that assessed the effect of privatized management on social service availability, utilization, and resident satisfaction in public housing communities. The respondents were heads of household who lived in public housing "projects" in Miami, Florida-more than 90 percent of whom were African American women. A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control groups compared respondent data from privat…
Navigating the Concrete Jungle
The multi-methodological study examines behavioral and educational outcomes of children and adolescents who live in public housing in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The children (N = 46) were from 14 different families and ranged in age from 1-10 (60.8%), followed by 11-18 (30.4%). Almost 60% were males. The female heads of household were interviewed repeatedly from July 1997-March 2000. Results indicated high levels of parental stress. Adolescents …
Perceived Diversity and Multi-Culturalism Content in HBSE Courses
A purposive sample of African American MSW graduates (N = 89) from predominantly White institutions were investigated to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the extent of diversity and multiculturalism (DMC) content in their HBSE courses. The mean age was 47 years, 72% were females, and they attended graduate social work programs in 23 states, primarily in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. DMC content was found to be seriously la…
The Impact of Privatized Management in Urban Public Housing Communities
A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups assessed the impact of privatized management on crime and personal safety in large public housing communities in Miami, Florida. A randomly-selected sample (N = 503) of low-income African Americans living in 42 different housing "projects" were surveyed. Privatized sites had greater mean values for break-ins and thefts (m = 2.03, S.D. = 1.47, p<.01) and vacant apartment usage. Publicly-manage…
