Market Research - Santa Fe, NM, us
The Santa Fe Boys Educational Foundation supports public discourse, projects, and research, through publications and a series of conferences on Boys at Risk to promote better understanding of the developmental needs of young males. Our next conference will be held May 1 - 3 in Santa Fe New Mexico and will bring together some of the country's best academic minds to explore the Early Origins of Male Violence. Visit santafeboys.org to learn more about the presenters or to propose your own symposium or workshop at the conference.By a very significant margin, most violent crime is committed by males. Starting in preschool and in elementary school, boys in the U.S. are more likely to be disciplined and suspended for conduct problems. By adolescence, the juvenile arrest rate of boys for violent crime is four times greater than for girls. Adult males account for nine in ten arrests and imprisonments for the most serious violence crimes—murder, rape, and robbery. This conference, and the Infant Mental Health Journal special issue to be published in January 2019, are the second in the Boys at Risk series. In taking a bio-psycho-social orientation to boys at risk from conception to toddlerhood, we expand the usual scope of the origins of violent criminality. Going beyond social construction, our upcoming conference will feature speakers who place the origins of violence in a contemporary developmental context. Key questions addressed will be:• What may be different about the neurobiological makeup of boys that may create a greater predisposition for violence and under what social conditions may this occur?• How may the exposure to the social environment that some small boys are raised in interact with this neurobiological predisposition to make it more or less likely that violent behavior will result?• How does the socio-economic macro-environment color both the neuro-biology and immediate caregiving environment in ways that may lead to violence?
