Violent Political Contexts and the Emotional Concerns of Township Youth.
Straker, Gill; And Others
Child Development, v67 n1 p46-54 Feb 1996
Three cohorts of South African high school students in the black township of Alexandra completed questionnaires on township life in 1987, 1989, and 1992, respectively. In all three contexts youth reported a high exposure to violence. When the violence occurred in the context of intracommunity conflict (in 1992) it was construed to be the most problematic. (MDM)
