Abstract The Rokeach Value Survey was used to assess the value systems of incarcerated embezzlers (N = 31) at a southwestern minimum security federal correctional institution. The responses of the embezzlers were compared to: (1) an inmate matched control group from the same institution (N = 31), (2) a sample of inmates incarcerated in state institutions (N = 461), and (3) a sample from the general population (N = 1409). The findings revealed no differences between the embezzlers and their matched control group. However, when compared to the general population, the embezzlers (and their matched control group) appeared more self-centered. It should be noted that among the other salient findings, the embezzlers and their matched control group resembled the general population more than the inmates from the state institutions. These results support the notion that inmates in minimum security institutions hold value systems which are closer to the general population than other groups of offenders. This is poss...

Abstract The researchers devised a system for classifying the earliest school recollections of violent and assaultive youth. To determine the validity of this system, judges classified 60 such students as successfully or unsuccessfully mainstreamed according to their earliest school recollection. Judges' classifications were compared with objective evaluations of the same students on the basis of their success or failure at being mainstreamed. The findings indicated that there was statistically significant agreement between judges' classifications of students and objective evaluations of students. This study represents the first attempt to utilize earliest school recollections as a diagnostic tool for identifying successfully or unsuccessfully mainstreamed violent and assaultive youth.

Abstract This study investigated whether expanding juvenile court services to include job preparation, outdoor experiential, and family skill building components would significantly reduce the offense activities of probationers in comparison to the effects of traditional probation supervision. The intervention sought to curtail illegal activities by enhancing integration to conventional social institutions as well as by transforming the negative influence of the delinquent peer group. Client attendance and participation were monitored throughout the project. Self-reported delinquency and official offense data derived from a two-factor experimental pre-test-posttest design indicated that the intervention failed to yield the desired effects over an 18 month follow-up period. The only significant result was the finding that select experimental subjects with extensive backgrounds of crime displayed fewer offenses during the follow-up than did select control subjects with comparable backgrounds.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the sex-role attitudes toward women of male juvenile delinquents who were incarcerated. Sixty (60) juveniles, thirty blacks and thirty whites, were chosen by random sample from an incarcerated juvenile delinquent population in a southern metropolitan area. Findings from the study included the following: (1) There was a significant difference in sex role attitudes toward women between juvenile delinquents who were first-born and juvenile delinquents who were later-born; (2) Significant differences were found in the sex role attitudes toward women relative to available norms. The findings from this study were inconsistent with the research in the literature.

Abstract The present study is the result of an effort to measure the effectiveness of a comprehensive contingency program implemented in a learning center designed for adjudicated juveniles. The evaluation, spanning a three year period, measured offense behavior and student performance within both residential and school settings. The results were largely significant. Conclusions, implications, and suggestions for change were discussed.

Summary Women who are diagnosed as substance abusers and as mentally ill are at risk for psychosocial, legal, and economic problems. When these women are mothers, the challenges they and their children face are evermore serious. This paper reviews the treatment needs of dual diagnosed, substance abusing and mentally ill mothers. Next, the paper suggests treatment strategies and programmatic options for comprehensively serving and meeting the needs of these mothers and their children. Particular attention is devoted to the promise of residential and continuing care services and skills based interventions for the target clients. After describing research methods suitable to the evaluation of the recommended human services, the paper concludes with an agenda for further investigations of the needs and appropriate services for dual diagnosed mothers with a history of substance abuse and mental illness.

Summary This paper acquaints the reader with the psychopatho-logy and psychodynamics of the sex murderer (and potential sex murderer), with an emphasis on treatment in an out-patient setting. Murder is a complex phenomenon with different clinical pictures, different etiologies and different prognoses. The authors review their system of classification based on the motivational dynamics of the act itself, and they detail the catathymic and compulsive murderer, which comprise the majority of most sexually motivated homicides. Three cases are presented that demonstrate: (1) a treatment failure due to the inability of the therapist to recognize important symptoms, (2) successful treatment of a catathymic sex murderer once released from custody and (3) successful treatment of a potential compulsive sex murderer.
