Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2003.

Though reliable international data are unavailable, it appears that the United States of America is among the world's leaders in numbers of people incarcerated and in per-capita rates of incarceration. Minority young people are incarcerated at rates that far exceed their representation in the population. Some speculate that youth who join gangs and commit crimes are fatalistic and some assert that delinquent youth harbor "leveled aspirations" or a combination of high aspirations and diminished expectations for the future. The broad problem this dissertation attempts to address is how those who work with incarcerated adolescents might foster in them a sense of agency and hope and work effectively with them across lines of class, race, gender, and generation.

520 $a Though reliable international data are unavailable, it appears that the United States of America is among the world's leaders in numbers of people incarcerated and in per-capita rates of incarceration. Minority young people are incarcerated at rates that far exceed their representation in the population. Some speculate that youth who join gangs and commit crimes are fatalistic and some assert that delinquent youth harbor "leveled aspirations" or a combination of high aspirations and diminished expectations for the future. The broad problem this dissertation attempts to address is how those who work with incarcerated adolescents might foster in them a sense of agency and hope and work effectively with them across lines of class, race, gender, and generation.
520 $a Research questions: (1) How do incarcerated adolescents talk about their lives leading up to and following incarceration? (2) What, if anything, does such talk reveal about how incarcerated young people articulate their relationship to mainstream civic institutions like schools, the economy, and the justice system? (Can such talk reveal anything about the roles and opportunities available in this society to incarcerated young peoples?)
520 $a Procedures and methods. Twenty-six incarcerated or formerly incarcerated adolescents (average age 16.89 years) were interviewed on average four times each for approximately an hour. In addition, several group interviews were conducted with groups of six to eight youth. In most cases, interviews were audiotaped, indexed, and transcribed by the author.
520 $a Twenty-eight meetings of a youth club for incarcerated adolescents were also audiotape recorded and partially indexed and transcribed. These meetings typically involved forty to sixty youth and ten or more adults.
520 $a Access to juvenile detention sites and rapport with study participants was facilitated by five years of part-time teaching and youth outreach work by the author in the juvenile justice system.
520 $a Materials were organized thematically by attending to how young people explained how their incarceration, how they envisioned the future, and how they articulated their relationships with mainstream civic institutions.
520 $a Results. Five themes characterized the talk of incarcerated adolescents. These were: (1) Justice and injustice; (2) Intergenerational and geographic legacies of social disadvantage; (3) Bifurcated descriptions of the future as an all or nothing proposition; (4) Concern with the elaboration and policing of group boundaries; (5) Maintaining hope in the face of difficult circumstances via religious or quasi-religious conversion.
520 $a Conclusions. Incarcerated young people articulate concerns about injustice, a desire to contribute to their communities, and a desire for the security of middle class status. These interests represent important points of departure for those wishing to create conditions under which incarcerated or formerly incarcerated adolescents might find positive, constructive outlets for their energies and ideas.
