Abstract

This paper reports the findings of an exploratory study examining the relationship between homelessness and delinquency in adolescents. Researchers collected data from interviews of 42 homeless youth contacted through a drop-in center in San Jose, California. Participants responded to a structured interview as well as two vignettes describing situations in which crimes were committed. The most striking findings are that (1) reported rates of delinquency are higher than expected based on past research, and (2) despite the high rates of delinquency, answers to a “three wishes” question describe wishes and ideals that are largely consistent with mainstream societal values. This paper provides a survey of existing research on homeless youth and delinquency, a comparison of our findings to those of previous studies, and two detailed case studies that highlight the patterns we observed in the broader survey.

Abstract

The article reports that Scott Johnson, the percussion caption head and arranger for the Concord Blue Devils, made a wish come true for a young percussionist suffering from kidney disease. Johnson received several e-mails from the Make-A-Wish foundation and discovered that 15-year-old Raul Lozada wanted to meet Johnson and have a drum lesson. Johnson was floored by the request and eagerly accepted it. Before making a wish, Raul had never even seen a drum corps show but had followed Johnson through various videos on the Internet. One final gift was three tickets to attend the Drum Corps International world championships in Pasadena, California in August. Scott Johnson remains overwhelmed by the honor of helping with the wish.
