Check Highwire and your library.  Not all the articles are full text, but there are a lot.  If you find a couple of full-text articles, see if there is an author that is cited a lot.  If Joe Smith has written a lot on conduct disorder, do a search on Google on Joe Smith and see if he has a personal website.  Sometimes, since its their work, they can post it without copyright violations.

I'd take a look at http://www.crazyboards.org. There's a parenting section and a bipolar section there. I'm personally bipolar and no great fan of that diagnosis in teenagers, let alone kids as young as 6, but that's just me.

Try a comparison study of boy and girls aged 10-18 who are diagnosed with ADHD.  Compare symptoms, treatment, success of treatment, school discipline for comparable behaviors, grades, achievement and aptitude, and popularity amongst peer and with teachers.  \n\nShould be pretty interesting.

Harris Interactive, a survey research company, has conducted several studies on safety and violence among youth.  Many states have conducted research in order to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act's detrimental labeling of a "consistently dangerous school".  You can find these resources on the internet (check out some of the links below).\n\nMy opinion is that learning how to deal with something empowers you and gives you a sense of competence or control, so I would rather have the measures in place rather than the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil approach which simply gambles that nothing bad will happen.

Please look at Joan Moores' book "Homeboys" it has longitudinal data that can be very helpful. Also look at "Going Down to the Barrio" by Joan W Moore. Still available online from Amazon.com. The editorial review from that site says it all:\n\nEditorial Reviews\n\nFrom Library Journal\nThis sequel to Homeboys: Gangs, Drugs, and Prisons in the Barrios of Los Angeles (Temple Univ. Pr., 1978) is based on continuing research begun by Moore and Carlos Garcia. It traces the 45 years of two Chicano youth gangs in Los Angeles. Through analysis of economic trends and hundreds of trenchant interviews, she has unearthed evidence that the stereotypes of Hispanic youth gangs promoted by the media are mistaken and alarmist. Hers is one of the few studies to cover girl gangs in depth. She offers copious statistics to show that what changed these gangs from primarily ethnic social groups to many that deal in drugs and crime was the increased unemployability of young barrio men. Index, bibliography, notes, charts, methods, and somewhat dry text indicate that this is aimed at the scholarly and professional community.\n- Anne Osborn, Youth Training Sch., Ontario, Cal.\nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. \n\nBook Description\nIn this illuminating look at two Chicano gangs in East Los Angeles, Joan W. Moore examines the changes and continuities among three generations of barrio gangs. As a sequel to the author's award-winning study, Homeboys (Temple, 1979), this book returns to the same neighborhoods to chart the development of gang behavior, especially in terms of violence and drug use, and to compare experiences of male and female gang members. \nIn a remarkable research collaborative effort, Moore and gang members worked together to develop an understanding of both male and female gangs and an internal vision of gang members' lives. By using excerpts from individual interviews, the author depicts more about the gangs than simply their life together as a unit; she gives them a voice. Gang members discuss their personal reaction to violence, drug using and selling, family relations and intra-gang dating; they share intimacies that reveal varying levels of loyalty to and dependency on their affiliations, which often become a family substitute. \n\nAfter maintaining neighborhood ties for 17 years, Moore's research group has established a relationship with these communities that gives her a rare perspective. This is a fascinating and informative book for anyone interested in sociology, criminology, youth behavior and deviance, and ethnic studies. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. \n\nI hope this helps. We have to keep in mind that Latinos in the US are memorialize in history and white male America as yet another blockage removed in the quest to dominate North America. A conquered people thrown out of their own land by europeans. They are, for that reason, marginalize and dehistorized in mainstream perception and media. Latinos and Latinas are a vital and significant force in the US in spite of the american desires to the contrary.
