Diversion of juvenile delinquents in Stockton, California : a close look at definitions, attempts, and future trendsPerry, Rosanne M. 01 January 1973 (has links)
Within the Stockton community there are agencies a) whose primary purpose is treatment of juvenile offenders, or b) whose auxiliary function is the treatment of juvenile offenders . One of the working assumptions of these agencies is that if the juvenile, as a first offender or minor offender, can be diverted from the juvenile courts or even from the probation office, then the juvenile can receive more effective care and treatment. Many juvenile offenses such as truancy, or incorrigibility, or psychological problems can obviously be handled better out of court and out of jail.
The purpose of this project is to investigate diversionary attempts within the Stockton community and in San Joaquin County as they apply to Stockton. This project will seek to not only identify diversionary attempts and define diversion in some of its forms, but also to produce a statement regarding the potential for city and related county agencies to achieve coordination of juvenile diversionary services.

A preliminary assessment of the implementation of the rehabilitation programme for offenders in the Boksburg management areaDlamini, Fikile Gladys 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Increasingly, concerns are being raised about the growing incidents of recidivism in
South Africa. Of great concern is that reoffending often involves serious crimes such
as murder, rape, robbery and substance abuse. The main purpose of this research
was to assess how well rehabilitation programmes are implemented in the Boksburg
Management Area, and to determine whether such efforts benefited offenders.
Based on a qualitative case study design, data was collected from this area using
semi-structured interviews, document analysis and observation in September 2013.
Participants included programme officials, social workers, facilitators, case
managers, inmates and representatives from participating NPOs and CBOs. A nonprobability
sampling method called purposive sampling was utilised to construct this
sample. The study used the 5C model as the basis for assessing the implementation of the
rehabilitation programme in the Boksburg Management Area and the following
findings are as identified. Firstly, the officials are conversant with the goals of the
rehabilitation programme. The country’s socio economic circumstances have an
influence on rehabilitation as evidenced by the wide variety of projects offered,
including literacy initiatives, bakery services, furniture manufacturing, and welding,
landscaping and community-based agricultural projects. Commitment can be
increased and harnessed to obtain support for organisational ends and interests
through such ploys as participation in decisions and actions. Capacity is the key to
successful execution and sustainability of rehabilitative programme. Lastly, the
offenders as clients are the key beneficiaries of rehabilitation programmes and that
formation of alliances with civil organisations is critical for effective implementation of
rehabilitation programme.
It was therefore concluded that while substantial gains had been realised in
implementing the rehabilitation programme, however more efforts were required to
improve access to rehabilitation services. Amongst other things, the study
recommended that institutional capacity be improved to ensure that inmates benefit
immensely from the rehabilitation programme. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word toenemend kommer uitgespreek oor groeiende residivisme in Suid-Afrika.
Die feit dat herhalende oortredings dikwels ernstige misdade soos moord,
verkragting, roof en delmmisbruik insluit, is erg kommerwekkend. Die hoofdoel van
hierdie navorsing was om vas te stel hoe doeltreffend rehabilitasieprogramme in die
Boskburg Bestuursarea geïmplimenteer word en om vas te stel of sulke pogings
oortreders bevoordeel het. Die studie-ontwerp van die ondersoek is gebaseer op
kwalitatiewe gevallestudies. Data is uit hierdie area bekom deur die gebruik van
semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, dokument anaslise en observasie gedurende
September 2013. Deelnemers het programbeamptes, maatskaplike werkers,
fasiliteerders, saakbestuurders, gevangenes en verteenwoordigers van
deelnemende nie-winsgewende organisasies en gemeenskapsgebaseerde
organisasies ingesluit. ‘n Nie-waarskynlikheids steekproefmetode, bekend as ‘n
doelmatigheidssteekproefneming, is gebruik om hierdie steekproef saam te stel. Die studie het die 5C model as basis vir die assessering van die
rehabilitasieprogram in die Boksburg Bestuursarea gebruik en die volgende
bevindings is gemaak. Eerstens is bevind dat die beamptes vertroud is met die
doelwitte van die rehabilitasieprogram. Die land se sosio-ekonomiese onstandigehde
het ‘n invloed op rehabilitasie soos bewys deur ‘n wye verskeidenheid projekte wat
aangebied word, insluitend geletterdheidsinisiatiewe, bakkerydienste,
meubelvervaardiging, sweiswerk, tuinaanleg en gemeenskapsgebaseerde
landbouprojekte. Betrokkenheid kan verhoog en behou word, met die oog daarop om
ondersteuning vir organisatoriese doelwitte en belange te verkry, deur byvoorbeeld
deelname aan besluite en aksies. Kapasiteit is die sleutel tot die suksesvolle
uitvoering en volhoubaarheid ‘n rehabilitasieprogram. Laastens, is oortreders as
kliënte die vernaamste voordeeltrekkers van rehabilitasieprograamme. Die vorming
van bondgenootskappe met burgerlike organisasies is van kritieke belang vir die
effektiewe implementasie van ‘n rehabilitasieprogram.
Hoewel beduidende vordering reeds plaasgevind het met die implementasie van die
rehabilitasieprogram, was die gevolgtrekking dus dat meer pogings vereis word om
toegang tot rehabilitasiedienste te verbeter. Die studie het, onder andere, aanbeveel
dat institusionele kapasiteit verbeter moet word om te verseker dat gevangenes
ontsaglik baat vind by die rehabilitasieprogram.

An exploration of family group conferencing as part of the diversion experience of young male offendersTshem, Tembakazi January 2009 (has links)
The aim of this study is to explore the experiences and evaluations of young male offenders who were diverted to family group conferencing in order to improve current services. An exploratory research design was chosen to obtain an understanding of what these young male offenders experienced during their conferencing and also to seek out their recommendations for future improvement of the family group conferencing diversion programme. This study comprised two samples which were purposively selected. The first sample was made up of ten young male offenders and the second sample comprised of the parents and /or guardians of the young male offenders. The data was collected using structured interview schedules. The data was collected on separate occasions for the two samples. Each interview lasted about 30- 40 minutes each. The findings of this study showed that there is still a need to train probation officers on appropriate implementation of family group conferencing and that families also have a role to play towards succefull implementation of diversion programmes. It is evident from the findings that young offenders need their families to support and care for them during difficult situations, as purported by the systems theory whereby society is regarded as a system with different parts and families are an important part of this system. Young offenders belong to families and families are part of communities and society. It is also important to note that victims are part of families, thus also part of society and the system. Family group conferencing provide an opportunity for all these parts to meet in a mediated environment to address the harm caused and make amends. The findings of this study also showed that there is a need to educate the general public about child justice legislation and the emerging trends in the field of child justice including diversion programmes.
