TL;DR: Moore et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a case study to determine whether Everlasting Peace (EP), an evidence-based counseling program in Georgia, successfully provided gender-specific treatment for female juvenile offenders.
Abstract: A Case Study: Parents’ Views of the Program Everlasting Peace by Meshonda Latrice Moore MPA, Columbus State University, 2005 BS, Columbus State University, 2001 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Public Administration and Public Policy Walden University November 2016 Abstract Juvenile crime among females is on the rise in the United States and is currently at an alltime high. Girls who are at risk for committing juvenile crime are at greater risk than boys for experiencing sexual trauma and exploitation as well as depression. Additionally, adolescent females have a higher rate of status-offense reoffending than do adolescentJuvenile crime among females is on the rise in the United States and is currently at an alltime high. Girls who are at risk for committing juvenile crime are at greater risk than boys for experiencing sexual trauma and exploitation as well as depression. Additionally, adolescent females have a higher rate of status-offense reoffending than do adolescent males. Using Kubeka’s conceptualization of trauma theory, the purpose of this case study was to determine whether Everlasting Peace (EP), an evidence-based counseling program in Georgia, successfully provided gender-specific treatment for female juvenile offenders. Data were collected through interviews with 20 parent/guardian of juvenile female offenders who had been referred to EP by the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice for treatment. These data were inductively coded and then subjected to a thematic analysis procedure. Results suggested that girls who received gender-specific treatment services from EP showed a positive change in behavior. EP addressed trauma, depression, and sexual abuse as seen in these female offenders. This study may contribute to positive social change by making direct policy recommendations to the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice to enhance and support programming options for girls who have experienced trauma in order to reduce opportunities for future delinquency.

Dominique, DeCarlos, Destini, and Adrainne, you do not have to choose your mother’s path; you are free to choose your own. I will always support all of your hopes and dreams, as you can do anything you put your mind to. Remember the sky is the limit. To my parents, David and Mary Thompson, thanks for always being in my corner and never giving up on me when I became a teenage mother. I always knew that one day I would make you proud. To my aunt, Ellen Curry, you have always believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself; thanks for your continuous prayers and for being my #1 cheerleader. To my aunt Glenda Clay, you knew this day would come well before I did; I’m glad that I made your dream a reality. To my 10 grade English teacher, Faye Marsh, may you rest in peace, thanks for being a positive role model at an early stage of my life when I was a lost little girl. I would also like to dedicate this dissertation to all of the young teenage mothers who strive to provide a better life for their child. I know it’s hard, but if I did it, then you can too; it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors argues that while work from different periods in Bakhtin's life is highly varied, there is a discernible shape to his achievement as a whole, and it is this commitment to the concept of dialogue that provides coherence in his contributions to a wide variety of disciplines.
Abstract: Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas - on the dialogic nature of language, the carnivalesque, the nature of the novel, outsideness and answerability - have gained currency in literary studies, anthropology, linguistics, psychology and social theory. Each discipline offers its own version of Bakhtin's legacy, but none, Michael Holquist suggests, can serve as an adequate basis for understanding the overall significance of Bakhtin's writings. Dialogism will provide this basis: Michael Holquist draws on all of Bakhtin's writings known to exist, including Soviet archive material, to provide a comprehensive account of his whole oeuvre. Holquist argues that while work from different periods in Bakhtin's life is highly varied, there is a discernible shape to his achievement as a whole. The key to Bakhtin's distinctiveness is, Holquist suggests, his commitment to the concept of dialogue, and it is this commitment which provides coherence in the contributions Bakhtin makes to a wide variety of disciplines. Dialogism examines Bakhtin's dialogue with other thinkers - for example, Saussure, Freud, Marx and Lukacs, as well as other figures in the history of thinking about dialogue whose connectio with Bakhtin's work have previously been ignored.

...The language of these pieces therefore becomes “double-voiced” (Bakhtin 1984: 189; Danow 1991: 28-29), or more accurately “multi-voiced”, as the arguments or insights of one essay are implicitly compounded with, and enriched by, the contributions of other authors....
