Reversing the trend toward failure

In order to solve a problem or reverse a trend, the researcher must first identify the problem, and then suggest solutions or resolutions for that problem so as to offer hope for the future. From all indications, African American students are lagging behind in college education. Of those who do come to college, a troubling percentage do not persevere to graduation. Among those most at risk for failure to succeed in college are African American males. On the average, Black males in America appear to be in deep trouble: For example, many more college aged Black men are in prison than are enrolled in higher education. A Justice Policy study in 2000 (Associated Press, March 28, 2006) reported that fewer African American men were in higher education (603,000) than were in prison and jail (791,600); and the rate continues to diverge (Schauer & Schauer, 2006 & 2007a). This debilitating trend must be reversed and one available alternative is to support those who choose education. Therefore, it would seem to make sense that once these young people are in college, every effort should be made to keep them there. By studying some of the correlates of Black male success, it is hoped that more African American men can be aided toward attaining college degrees and greater career mobility through interventions more accurately focused upon meeting their precise needs (Schauer & Schauer, 2007a).

De todas las indicaciones, los estudiantes afroamericanos están quedando rezagados en la educación universitaria. De los que llegan a la Universidad, un porcentaje preocupante no perseverar a la graduación. Entre quienes más en riesgo por la falta de éxito en la Universidad están los hombres afroamericanos. En promedio, los varones negros en Estados Unidos parecen estar en serios problemas: por ejemplo, muchos más hombres negros de Universidad de edad están en la cárcel que están matriculados en la educación superior. Un estudio de política de la justicia en el año 2000 (Associated Press, 28 de marzo de 2006) informaron que menos hombres afro americanos estaban en la educación superior (603.000) que estaban en prisión y cárcel (791.600); y la tasa sigue divergen (Schauer & Schauer, 2006 & 2007a). Debe revertirse esta tendencia debilitante y es una alternativa disponible para apoyar a quienes optan por educación. Por lo tanto, parece tener sentido que una vez que estos jóvenes están en la Universidad, deben hacerse todos los esfuerzos para mantenerlos allí. Mediante el estudio de algunos de los correlatos de éxito macho negro, se espera que más hombres afro americanos pueden ser ayudados hacia alcanzar títulos universitarios y una mayor movilidad de carrera a través de intervenciones más exactamente enfocado a satisfacer sus necesidades precisas (Schauer & Schauer, 2007a).2014text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5030254(Revista) ISSN 2007-2023Archivos de Criminología, Seguridad Privada y Criminalística, ISSN 2007-2023, Nº 13, 2014engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
