We interviewed thirty-five youths who reflected on their experiences in educational, communal, and domestic settings. Our findings reveal that participants who failed to conform to the scholarly standards of their yeshivas were devalued, sanctioned, and socially, emotionally, and physically abused by authoritative figures. The boys' coping strategies included engaging in risky behaviors, experiencing a decline in faith and religious practice, and changing their lifestyles and social identifications. The study attests to the importance of further examining the relationship between religion, gender policing, and violence against boys. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
