Many people have been instrumental in assisting in the research project.
I would like to thank individuals at the Department of Youth Services.
Candy Peters and Andy Popel were instrumental in obtaining some initial
data for the project. Also, Bruce Sowards contributed greatly by obtaining
the latest outcome data on his own time. I really appreciate your contribution
to this project. Special thanks and acknowledgements go to case
managers at Mohican Youth Center, to Jeanette Britton for coordinating
the data collection process, and to Elaine Surber for her leadership and
ongoing support throughout this project. Ellen Boyne at Taylor & Francis
has shown great patience in assisting me with navigating the publishing
process. Thank you, Ms. Boyne! Finally, thank you to the anonymous
reviewers who provided invaluable suggestions on improving the first
draft of the manuscript.
