Intervention Strategies for Chronic Juvenile Offenders by Peter W. Greenwood Pdf

The papers in this collection were commissioned as part of a Rand research study to determine whether rehabilitation is really dead, or possibly just hibernating. A companion book, "One More Chance : The Pursuit of Promising Intervention Strategies for Chronic Juvenile Offenders" (Greenwood & Zimring, 1985) presents the principle findings of the study, which old out promise that the quality of rehabilitation programs can and should be improved. These papers describe the analysis used to arrive at that conclusion. Their common thread is an attempt to explain why interest in, and knowledge about, rehabilitation of serious juvenile offenders is in its current state of confusion and disarray.

One More Chance by Peter W. Greenwood,Franklin E. Zimring Pdf

This report presents the findings and recommendations of a study on effective interventions for chronic juvenile offenders. Five groups of factors are predictive of future offending: family factors such as poor parenting skills and parental pathology or criminality; biological deficits such as birth defects or learning disability; parental attitudes, supervision, and affection; antisocial and acting-out behaviours; and delinquency history. Using these predictor variables, chronic offenders can be identified at about age 13 with about 50-percent accuracy. Promising programs for chronic delinquents provide opportunities for success and improved self-esteem, facilitate familial bonds, provide timely and accurate feedback on behaviours, and reduce or eliminate negative role models and peer influences. Programs based on isolation in remote wilderness settings and physical challenges show some promise. Preventive programming for high-risk youths who have not yet committed criminal acts must take place within the educational system or community, and promising programs include early education programs such as Headstart, parent training, and some educational programs. The economic benefits intervention to both offenders and society of early are emphasized.

Home-Based Services for Troubled Children by Ira M. Schwartz,Philip AuClaire Pdf

There is mounting interest in services to strengthen families and, if possible, to keep them together, preventing unnecessary and costly out-of-home placements. Unfortunately, although these programs are proliferating throughout the country, many are developing without the benefit of existing historical, conceptual, and scholarly data, information needed to make sound fiscal policy and programmatic decisions. This book fills this critical void, with a systematic examination of home-based services for abused, neglected, delinquent, and emotionally disturbed children and their families. With the most authoritative research on the topic to date, this book will be of interest to practitioners, policymakers, and child advocates.

The Juvenile Offender by Robert D. Hoge Pdf

This book provides a discussion ofadvances in our understanding of the juvenile offender. These derive from psychological and criminological theoryand researchonthe phenomenonofyouth crime and from efforts on the part of social science researchers and practitioners to develop and evaluate new approaches to prevention and treatment. The theoretical and empirical advances relate, first, to analyses of the nature and extent ofyouth crime. This is reflected, for example, in various descriptive and classification systems developed for characterizingjuvenile offenders. Significant advances are also being made in understanding the risk factors associated with youthful criminal activity, as well as the processes linking the risk factors with antisocial behaviors. This understanding is based on theory and research relatingto the correlates andcauses ofdelinquency. The advances in our understanding of the nature, correlates, and causes of juvenile crime are accompanied by progress in analyzing the treatment ofyouth in juvenile justice systems and in developing and evaluating alternative approaches to treatment. These efforts include research on decision-making within juvenile justice systems and the development of screening and assessment tools. This also includes efforts to develop and evaluate effective prevention and treatment programs for use with youths involved in criminal activity and those at risk for this activity.

Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders by Rolf Loeber,David P. Farrington Pdf

Detailed and comprehensive, Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders presents authoritative discussions by a select group of leading scholars on issues surrounding serious and violent juvenile offenders. This population is responsible for a disproportionate percentage of all crime and poses the greatest challenge to juvenile justice policymakers. Under the skillful editorship of Rolf Loeber and David P. Farrington, this unique volume integrates knowledge about risk and protective factors with information about intervention and prevention programs so that conclusions from each area can inform the other. Current literature on these two areas does not, for the most part, apply directly to serious and violent juvenile offenders. This volume contends that serious and violent juvenile offenders tend to start displaying behavior problems and delinquency early in life, warranting early intervention. It is the contributors' thesis that prevention is never too early. They also maintain, however, that interventions for serious and violent juvenile offenders can never be too late in that effective interventions exist for known serious and violent juvenile offenders. Augmented by charts, tables, graphs, figures, and an extensive bibliography, Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders is an excellent reference work and a must read for policy and lawmakers, judges, attorneys, law enforcement personnel, education administrators, researchers, academics, social workers, sociologists, as well as graduate students and interns.
