Getting Out is a result of the innovative perspectives he developed as he worked alongside staff from a local nonviolence institute to help these young people make life-affirming choices. Rather than view their violence as pathological, Morton explains that gang members are victims of violence, and the trauma they have experienced leads them to choose violence as the most meaningful option available. To support young people as they "unlearned" violence and pursued nonviolent alternatives, he offered what he calls a "Youth Positive" approach that prioritizes healing over punishment and recognizes them as full human beings. Informed by deep personal connections with these youth, Morton contends that to help them, we need to change our question from "What is wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gang members $x Rehabilitation $z United States. 650 0 $a Juvenile delinquents $x Rehabilitation $z United States. 650 0 $a Ex-gang members $x Services for $z United States. 650 0 $a Problem youth $x Services for $z United States. 650 7 $a Gang members $x Rehabilitation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00937677 650 7 $a Juvenile delinquents $x Rehabilitation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985409 650 7 $a Problem youth $x Services for. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077952 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Morton, Keith William. $t Getting out. $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2019] $z 1613766769 $w (OCoLC)1081366411 $w (OCoLC)1081366411 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC971C7A90F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
