 Review of Lost Boys, by James Garbarino, Ph.D.
Garbarino discusses the reasons for child violence in boys and teens, tracing factors from birth to adolescence, to show how the inner-city African American boy is not that much different from the small-town Caucasian boy from Arkansas.
Garbarino gives examples of boys who acted from a young age to protect their mothers from violent boyfriends, and becoming "the man of the house" from an early age.
Garbarino mentions one boy who asked when he was growing up if he was "poor or regular?" Children who see themselves as poor are more likely to feel like outsiders, devalued, shamed, and enraged.
