The Warrior Method Is A Program Designed For Parents And Teachers To Help Young Black Boys To Become Strong, Self-Reliant, Independent Men. This Program Looks At A Male's Life As Seasonal: Spring, Conception To Four Years Old; Summer, Ages Five Through Twelve; Autumn, Ages Thirteen Through Twenty-One; And Winter, Age Twenty-Two Through The Remainder Of The Man's Life. Within These Seasons Are The "Birthing Circle" For Mothers And Their Newborns, And The "Young Warriors Council" As The Boys Get Older. According To The U.S. Department Of Justice's Bureau Of Justice Statistics, Black Males Die At A Rate Fifteen Times Higher Than That Of White Males Because Of Homicidal Violence. In 1999, The Sentencing Project Reported That 32 Percent Of Black Males Between The Ages Of Twenty And Twenty-Nine Are In Contact With The Criminal Justice System, Whether It Be Through Indictment, Incarceration, Probation, Or Parole. Using Current Rates Of First Incarceration, The Justice Department Estimates That 28 Percent Of Black Males Will Enter State Or Federal Prisons During Their Lifetime. In Response To These Devastating Statistics, Psychologist, Educator, And Father Dr. Winbush Has Created The Warrior Method. It Shows How To Protect, Educate, And Guide Boys Safely Through The Minefields Of A Dangerous And Prejudiced Society. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 064228
