The Story of John Turner.

Anderson, Elijah

Public Interest, n108 p3-34 Sum 1992

This case study of a young African-American urban male and his increasing involvement with the criminal justice system illustrates that merely providing opportunities for members of the underclass is not enough. An outlook that allows members of the underclass to invest personal resources in their opportunities must be fostered. (SLD)
