Paraphrasing is much preferred to direct quotes; however, the use of short quotes is acceptable. Any quotations must be cited with a page number. For example (p. 34)
1. Using the 4 models of family functioning from pp. 276-279 in the text, explain how the family relationships for “The Boys” (in Last Chance) have impacted them. Be specific and give examples.
2. In what ways are the family relationships different for “The Girls” (as compared with The Boys) in terms of family functioning and experiences that contribute to their delinquent actions? Be specific and give examples.
3. The process of “redeeming” the students at the Giddings School in Texas is unique. How is the process of dealing with one’s past (childhood, etc.) and dealing with one’s own actions (delinquent and otherwise) tied together? What parts of the process do you think are most effective for the students? Explain why. Also, provide some of your thoughts and reactions to this process.
