Abstract The traditional probationary approach to rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system has not been effective. The system currently lacks scientific predictive tools to accurately classify juvenile offenders. This research project has developed a predictive model for identifying high risk offenders who are clients of a juvenile court system. The most important variables in the efficiency in the prediction capability of the model were as follows: Whether the delinquent had delinquent siblings and/or significant others as associates. Whether the delinquent had school problems What type of offense the delinquent committed (i.e., misdemeanor or felony) and The sex of the delinquent The proposed model in this study is no panacea for the problems besetting the juvenile justice system but it could make a meaningful contribution in addressing one of the system's most serious problems, namely, a reduction in the recidivism rate.

Abstract This study compared the personal characteristics, motivations for entering volunteer work, activities, problem situations encountered, and rewarding experiences of volunteers in adult and juvenile justice agencies. Five hundred forty-five volunteers from twenty-six agencies across the United States were represented. Volunteers with juveniles were likely to be female, 21 to 30 years old, white, well-educated, professional, and married. Among volunteers with adults, males and females were almost equally represented, but the other characteristics were identical to those of the juvenile justice volunteers. Both types of volunteers found their greatest satisfaction in the opportunity to help others and their community. The volunteers' chief activities included offering friendship, counseling, and providing transportation for clients. Poor communication between volunteers and agency personnel was highlighted as the greatest problem area. The volunteers experienced their greatest satisfaction from knowi...

Abstract An empirical analysis of human behavior has demonstrated a functional relationship between behavior and its environmental consequences. In residential care settings the consequences for resident behavior are arranged by the italT. This set of circumstances may result in the adventitious strengthening of inappropriate resident behavior and a concomitant reduction of appropriate behavior. Moreover, only precise and systematic observations can discover these program flaws. This report describes a set of procedures designed to analyze the causal relationships between staff and resident behavior. The data resulting from the observational procedure point up behavior change strategies. In addition, the observational procedure is adaptable for most settings. Many years of research in both applied and laboratory settings have established a causal relationship between an individual's behavior and environmental consequences (Skinner, 1938; 1953; Baer, Wolf & Risley, 1968).

摘要对人类行为的实证分析表明,行为与其环境后果之间存在功能关系。在住宿护理设置的后果居民的行为是由itt安排。这组情况可能会导致不适当的居民行为的强化和随之而来的适当行为的减少。此外,只有精确和系统的观察才能发现这些程序缺陷。本报告描述了一套旨在分析工作人员和住院医师行为之间因果关系的程序。观察过程产生的数据指出了行为改变策略。此外,观察程序适用于大多数情况。在应用和实验室环境中进行的多年研究已经建立了个人行为和环境后果之间的因果关系(Skinner, 1938;1953;Baer, Wolf & Risley, 1968)。此外,本研究得出结论…

Abstract A non-lractitional outpatient group was instituted to improve services to parole/probation clients. The group uses various techniques to optimize potential for client success. A one-year study indicates the group is cost-effective, may improve client attendance and has improved relations between parole/probation and mental health staff.

Abstract Missouri data for 915 protective custody (PC) inmates and for 9593 non-PC inmates are compared. Variables examined include medical status, mental health status, formal education, educational level, age, race, rural or urban sentencing county, marital status, family ties, work skills, religious preference, public and institutional risk ratings, current offense, and sentence length. PCs are found to have more deficient ratings than non-PCs among all social, medical, and psychological indicators. Some indices (age, sex offenses) follow stereotypical patterns; unexpected findings include longer PC sentence length, and PC over-representation among inmates convicted of violent crimes, notably homicide.

Abstract While it may be wise to deflect drug and other substance abusers away from prison, the practice of coercing them to submit to programs of therapy via the threat of penal sanction is questionable because doing so lies outside the proper realm of criminal justice, as currently defined, and may be unethical in terms of the right of individuals to be protected from capricious judicial practices. It may also be impractical from the standpoint of successful treatment. On the other hand, it is probably also true that few substance abusers would submit to treatment without being explicitly threatened by the punitive consequences of their behavior. It is, therefore, a serious question of public policy—how to balance the conflicting goals of societal protection, individual rights and individual health. Three policy modifications are herein identified and discussed: (1) make sentences to therapy an explicit provision in criminal law, (2) completely divorce the punitive and rehabilitative responses to crimin...
