Abstract A peer support program for women in prison for the death of a child has helped the participants reduce their isolation, mourn their loss, identify their responsibility in the death and change destructive patterns of feelings and behavior. Follow-up of women who have been paroled indicates their positive adjustment to the community.

Abstract This article deals with alternative techniques in working with juvenile sex offenders in a group modality. Our data is based primarily on work in the Saint Anne Institute Juvenile Sex Offender Project (JSOP), which currently provides three ongoing groups serving clients in the cognitive developmental age range of ten to nineteen. Each candidate for group is selected following a detailed assessment procedure in which psychosocial development, family processes, and past involvement with legal systems are examined. Each potential group member is interviewed to assess his/her level of admittance to the crime, ability to portray empathy for the victim, ability to identify a problem related to the sexual abuse, and ability to develop a plan to prevent further abuse. These criteria not only allow the individual into JSOP, but are also utilized throughout treatment to assess progress in the program. A major focus of this article is the theoretical framework noted to be effective in working with juvenile ...

Abstract Juvenile corrections is experiencing extensive change as determinant sentencing laws and guidelines are adopted across the country. Accompanying policies that decriminalize status offenses, divert minor or first offenders, and provide community-based corrections for all but the most serious offenders are policies that delimit lengths of stay and make participation in treatment programs voluntary. These trends affect knowledge and skill requirements for practice in youth corrections. This paper outlines a method for identifying worker training needs and describes an empirical study of the training needs of juvenile probation staff in a Northwestern state. A diverse set of training needs was identified. Many of the subject areas corresponding to the identified needs are currently taught in schools of criminaljustice, sociology, and social work. The paper discusses the implications of the needs assessment method and findings for staff development.

Abstract Classification difficulties have hindered research in the area of sexual deviations. The specific enumeration of groups allows for the development of assessment and treatment procedures designed specifically for each group. This necessitates a comprehensive assessment of subjects, as well as the inclusion of a variety of control groups. The present study attempted to classify convicted rapists and child molesters, as well as three different control gioups, based on information obtained from a variety of assessment sources. Results indicated that behavioral measures combined with life history data can accurately classify subjects well above chance rates. Fairly accurate classification was obtained for three of the five groups, with some difficulties differentiating rapists from non-sex offender inmates. These results point to the need for a comprehensive assessment model, and additional research necessary to more clearly differentiate among the groups.

Abstract Fifty-six teenage male students at Elk Hill Farm were identified as having learning disabilities. At the time of discharge, 39 were identified as academically remediated, while 17 were identified as unremediated. Information with regard to subsequent reincarceration, in the form of a success rate index, was analyzed in comparing the two subgroups. Academic remediation appears to be a predictor of future reincarcerations. Also, academic remediation (and social-emotional growth) appear to have a greater impact on later incarceration than the length of time in trouble with the law prior to the placement.

Abstract In recent studies, fear of apprehension and punishment have been reported to “suppress” juvenile crime. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this suppression effect in regard to the correlates of chronic juvenile delinquency and exploratory evidence that youths who commit a large volume of crime do not fear sanctions imposed by the juvenile court any more than youths who commit only one offense in their delinquent careers.

Abstract Our purpose in this study was to review empirically the Israeli probation officer's recommendation in his “investigation report” concerning offenders of the 18-21 year age group. We studied the factors influencing the probation officer's recommending probation vs. refraining from a probation recommendation. The research variables were based on the following four models: the “diagnostic-rehabilitation” model, the “prognostic-public defense” model, the “organizational” model, and the “conflict” model. Our findings did not verify the diagnostic-rehabilitation hypothesis, though special legal and structural arrangements have been made in Israel for this age group in order to facilitate the rehabilitation of those belonging to it. The conflict model hypothesis was verified to only a limited degree. Our findings indicated the predominance of the prognostic-public defense model hypothesis and also of the organizational model hypothesis.
