Untamed Youth - A Look at Juvenile Crime and Resilience

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In this thought-provoking book, we take a deep dive into the complex world of juvenile crime and the challenges faced by the juvenile justice system. Through compelling narratives and insightful analysis, we explore the factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency, the different types of crimes committed by young people, and the impact that these crimes have on individuals, families, and communities.

We examine the history and evolution of the juvenile justice system, highlighting both its successes and its shortcomings. We discuss the challenges of balancing the need for public safety with the need to rehabilitate young offenders and provide them with a second chance. We also explore the role of mental health and substance abuse in juvenile crime, and we discuss the need for trauma-informed care and evidence-based interventions.

But this book is not just about the problems of juvenile crime. It is also a story of hope and resilience. We share inspiring stories of young people who have overcome adversity and turned their lives around. We highlight the importance of community involvement and the role that mentors and positive role models can play in helping young people stay on the right path.

We believe that juvenile crime is a problem that can be solved. But it will take a concerted effort from all of us – parents, educators, law enforcement, community leaders, and policymakers – to make it happen. This book is a call to action. It is a call to all of us to come together and work towards a future where all young people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Whether you are a parent, an educator, a law enforcement officer, a community leader, or simply someone who is concerned about the future of our youth, this book is a must-read. It is a powerful indictment of the current state of juvenile justice, but it is also a call to action and a source of hope for a better future.

The Castaways of Disappointment...

Charles Eyre, H. Escott-Inman

The Castaways of Disappointment Island is a true story, though lately out of print and in danger of being lost. This audiobook edition revives the survival story of Charles Eyre, who in 1907 was working as apprentice sailor—a dangerous if exciting vocation in those days.
Caught in a storm one night, The Dundonald sank after hitting the rocky coastline of a tiny subantarctic island known as Disappointment Island—arguably the dingiest bit of rock in the Auckland Islands archipelago, or Motu Maha (“Many Islands”) in Māori. This volcanic archipelago lies 500 km below Aotearoa New Zealand.
Twelve on-board The Dundonald drowned during sinking, 7 March 1907, including the captain and the captain’s son Jimmy, who accompanied his father on a sea voyage for the sake of his health. Jimmy was about to turn sixteen, three days later.
But Charles Eyre, alongside another fourteen sailors, were in their prime. These sailors were strong from manual labour. They made it to shore, though barely. The survivors had no choice but to wait for a passing government steamship to rescue them. And for seven long months they eked out a sorry existence, subsisting on mollymawk flesh, seal meat, seaweed and "root". They wintered over while wearing barely any clothes in a subantarctic climate where fog rarely lifts, sun rarely shines and where torrents of rain left them semi-permanently soaked to the skin.
After eventually returning to London, Charles Eyre told his tale to children’s author and Reverend Herbert Escott Inman, who crafted it into a children’s adventure novel, retaining much of the conversational style of Charles—a lively and upbeat character. This classic survival story remains a harrowing page-turner.
For modern readers, this story offers fascinating insight into a snapshot of maritime history—an era which ended soon after this story did, as the world headed into the first of two World Wars, and the Golden Age of Sail drew to a close.

The Mailbox

Audrey Shafer

For readers of Unbroken and Flags of Our Fathers, The Mailbox is a sympathetic portrayal of veterans and the burdens they carry throughout their lives.
Vernon Culligan had been dead to the town of Draydon, Virginia, so long that when the crusty Vietnam vet finally died, only one person noticed. Twelve-year-old Gabe grew up in the foster care system until a social worker located his Uncle Vernon two years before. When he comes home to discover that his uncle has died of a heart attack, he’s terrified of going back into the system—so he tells no one. The next day, he discovers a strange note in his mailbox:
I HAVE A SECRET. DO NOT BE AFRAID.
And his uncle’s body is gone.
Thus begins a unique correspondence destined to save the two people that depended on Vernon for everything. Through flashbacks, we learn about Gabe and Vernon’s relationship, and how finding each other saved them both from lives of suffering. But eventually, Vernon’s death will be discovered, and how will Gabe and the mystery note writer learn to move forward?
The Mailbox is not a story about death—though it begins with a death. It’s also not a story about Vietnam vets, although the author works with Vietnam veterans and wrote this novel, in part, to illuminate their sacrifices and suffering. The Mailbox is a story about connections—about how two people in need can save each other.

Samuel Zwemer - The Burden of...

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

The spiritual needs of the Muslim world, long neglected by Christian missionaries, came to the world's attention again when Samuel Zwemer dedicated himself to the advancement of the gospel in Arabia. It was a tremendous task, but a pledge the young American kept despite opposition, difficulty, and death. Zwemer founded the Arabian Mission in Bahrain to serve Muslims through medical care, Christian literture, and preaching. With a heart on fire for Muslim people, he relentlessly shared his vision worldwide, calling many to action. Zwemer's legacy of opening a long-closed door challenges and inspires us today to love and respect Muslims and to proclaim Jesus' name in the homeland of Islam.
