             A Sum           n.s to Life:

       M1e7,L.ng Structures and the
           .revntion of Youth Crime

                 Robert L. Woodson

Robert Woodson's A Summons to Life offers a practical ap-
proach to solving some of our most critical urban problems-
youth crime and neighborhood deterioration. He examines
Federal programs that don't work and analyzes neighborhood
programs that do. A Summons to Life should be required
reading for all urban policymakers.

Finally, with Mr. Woodson's A Summons to Life we are of-
fered real hope in finding constructive suggestions for this
era's major challenge in social policy.

Robert Woodson's A Summons to Life is precisely that: a
break with traditional government-supported social service
'delivery' approaches and a return to the extended family and
community and personal self-sufficiency. Woodson uses Phil-
adelphia's remarkable House of Umoja as a model that could
be of revolutionary import in redeeming the lives and futures
of young people in troubled city neighborhoods across the
United States. For the sake of those young people, and for
the sake of our urban society, I hope his Summons will be
heard and heeded from sea to sea.
