A study of variables associated with re-arrest among graduates of a juvenile diversion programHolguin, Eileen Gail, O'Neill, Melody June 01 January 2001 (has links)
The Home Run Program that operates in San Bernardino County was developed to address rehabilitation of high-risk youthful offenders using a Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) approach to treatment. Despite the fact the program was developed to address recidivism among a delinquent population, recidivism continues to be an issue for participants. This study evaluated specific social and demographic factors and the bearing they had on successful rehabilitation outcome.

The support of juvenile offenders in correctional centres schools : a wellness perspectiveManzini, Theresa Lydia Badiktsie 04 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the support
of juvenile offender learners in correctional schools from a wellness perspective.
The support of juvenile offender learners on the six dimensions of wellness is
crucial since it has a wide range of benefits, it links achievement of teaching and
learning, and rehabilitation and avoid recidivism. The study integrates Ubuntu and
Wellness frameworks (Hettler, 1984) as a lens to understand the support of
juvenile offender learners’ wellness in the correctional schools. The two
frameworks informed the formulated Wellness framework as an approach to
address and support wellness in active teaching and learning of the juvenile
learners in the correctional schools. Data collection methods used was semi-
structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires and observations. The research
used purposive sampling of 12 teachers and 21 juvenile offender learners from
seven correctional schools in four different provinces in South Africa. Ethical
considerations are followed this include how best to negotiate access to the
correctional schools, signed consent forms, anonymity, and confidentiality. The
findings of the study revealed inadequate support structures and challenges that
threaten the wellness of juvenile learners. However, it was revealed that teachers
make an effort to support juvenile offender learners’ wellness in the correctional
schools. Conversely, there are gaps in terms of policy, theory, and practice on how
they can effectively support juvenile learners. The major impediment is that
teachers are trained to teach in mainstream schools not in the environment of
imprisonment. The study recommends that teachers, Learner Support Assistant
(LSA), Peer Educators (PE), and security official be trained on how to identify
intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and career challenges of juvenile
learners and address them in order to improve their learning, and rehabilitate. The
DCS can do this through collaboration with various stakeholders who have
knowledge and expertise in the six-wellness dimensions. Hence, the study
formulated the model called Collaborative Intervention Support for Wellness
framework. It consists of five strategic support structures (DCS, and other
governmental department, non-governmental stakeholders LSA and PE) that are
to assist the teachers in the correctional schools to support and enhance the
juvenile offender learners’ wellness. / Morero oa thuto ena ea boleng bo phahameng ene e le ho hlahloba tšehetso ea

ondersteuning van jeugoortredende leerders in korrektiewe skole vanuit ‘n
welstandsperspektief te ondersoek. Die ondersteuning van jong jeugdige
oortreders in die ses dimensies van welstand is van kardinale belang, aangesien
dit ‘n wye verskeidenheid voordele inhou, verbind dit die prestasie van onderrig en
leer, en rehabilitasie en vermy herhaling.
Die studie integreer Ubuntu en wellness-raamwerke (Hettler,1984) as ‘n lens om
die ondersteumning van jeugoortreders se welstand in die skole vir korrektiewe te
verstaan. Die twee raamwerke het die geformuleerde welstand-raamwerk ingelig
as ‘n benadering om welstand in die aktiewe onderrig en leer van jong leerder in
die korrektiewe skole aan te spreek en te ondersteun. Metodes vir die insameling
van data wat gebruik is, was semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, oop vraelyste en
waarnemings. In die navorsing is doelgerigte steekproefneming van 12
onderwysers en 21 jong oortreders van sewe korrektiewe skole in vier verskillende
provinsies in Suid-Afrika gebruik. Etiese oorwegings word gevolg, dit sluit in hoe
om die beste toegang tot die skole vir korrektiewe, ondertekende vorms van
toestemming, anonimiteit en vertroulikheid te beding.
Die bevindings van die studie het onvoldoende ondersteuningstrukture en
uitdagings ontdek wat die welstand van jong leerders bedreig. Dit is egter aan die
lig gebring dat onderwysers moeite doen om die welstand van die jeugoortreders
in die korrektiewe skole te ondersteun. Daarteenoor is daar leemtes in terme van
beleid, toerie en praktyk oor hoe hulle jong leerders effektief kan ondersteun. Die
grooste struikelblok is dat onderwysers opgelei word om in hoofstroomskole
onderrig te gee, nie die omgewing van gevangenisstraf nie. Die studie beveel aan
dat onderwysers, LSA, PT en veiligheidsbeampte opgelei word in die identifisering
van intellektuelle, fisieke, sosiale, emosionele, geestelike en loopbaanuitdagings
van jong leerders en om hulle aan te spreek ten einde hul leer te verbeter en te
rehabiliteer.
Die DKD kan dit doen deur samewerking met verskillende
belanghebbendes wat kennis en kundigheid het in die dimensies van ses welstand. Daarom het die studie die model genaamd “Collaborative Intervention
Support for Wellness raamwerk geformuleer. Dit is ‘n kompromie van vyf strategies
ondersteuningstrukture
(DKD,
en
ander
regeringsdepartemente,
nie-
regeringsbelangheggendes LSA, en portuurstudente) wat die onderwysers in die
korrektiewe skole moet help om die welstand van die jeugoortreder te help en te
verbeter. / Psychology / D. Phil (Psychology)

Examining the effects of abuse on girls in gangsFord, Champagne Monique 01 January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to encourage further study and attention to girls that are at high risk of becoming members of a gang. The more that can be learned about this group the more can be done to implement appropriate policies and programs to effectively target and assist this population. This study is based on an existing data set that profiled the needs and characteristics of girls that were incarcerated May 1996 at a California Youth Authority facility in Ventura, now called The Division of Juvenile Justice.

The views of social workers on diversion programmes for male juvenile delinquentsKleinhans, Lizelle Alexis 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M Social Work)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Adolescence is a challenging development stage because youths engage in risk-taking
behaviour, including anti-social and criminal acts. Factors which contribute to youth
becoming involved in crime include having a poor self-concept, being male, the negative
behaviour of parents, family dysfunction, low socio-economic status, low literacy levels or
being illiterate, peers who exercise a negative influence, and poor role models. Diversion
strategies are practised worldwide, including South Africa, to deal with the growing number
of youth in conflict with the law. After diversion practice was legalised in South Africa, some
challenges have been experienced with implementation. However, the views of social
workers are limited regarding diversion practices after the Child Justice Act no 75 of 2008
was introduced.
The objective of the study is to gain insights from social workers who facilitate diversion
programmes with male juvenile delinquents. In this study, attention was paid to explaining
the nature of juvenile delinquency of male adolescents in a South African context;
describing diversion programmes in terms of the Child Justice Act no 75 of 2008 to deal with
children outside the criminal justice system; discerning the scope, nature and contribution
of diversion programmes for the rehabilitation of delinquents; investigating the views of
social workers on diversion programmes for male juvenile delinquents; and to make
recommendations regarding the facilitation of diversion programmes with male juvenile
delinquents.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used in the study.
The study further assumed an exploratory and descriptive research design due to the
limited information available regarding the views of social workers on diversion
programmes with male juvenile delinquents. A purposive sampling method was used to
select the participants. Data was gathered by means of a structured questionnaire, which
was administered during 20 individual interviews. This allowed for a holistic view to be
gained of participants' opinions about and insights into the topic. The design of the
questionnaire was based on the information obtained from the literature review. The
findings of the empirical investigation mainly confirmed the findings of the literature study that males are more vulnerable to juvenile delinquency, that parents and families play
substantial roles in the causes of juvenile delinquency and, lastly, that diversion
programmes offer much benefit to youth offenders.
The most important recommendations resulting from the study indicate that social workers
should become more skilled and equipped to facilitate therapeutic groups as this will
contribute to the reduction of re-offending. Parental and family involvement in diversion
programmes is essential as it will increase the impact on the youth offender. In addition, the
recommendations indicate the significance of monitoring and evaluation of diversion
programmes, in this way ensuring the proper implementation of the Act. Lastly, it is
suggested that more research be done about diversion practices internationally to increase
knowledge regarding implementation. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die puberteitsjare is 'n uitdagende ontwikkelingsfase omdat die jeugdige riskante gedrag
toon, soos antisosiale optrede en die pleeg van misdaad. Faktore wat bydra tot die jeugdige
se betrokkenheid by misdaad is die feit dat hy tot die manlike geslag behoort, 'n lae
selfbeeld het, die negatiewe gedrag van ouers, uit 'n gebroke huis kom, aan lae sosioekonomiese
status ly, die lae vlak van of geen geletterdheid het nie, vriende wat 'n
negatiewe invloed uitoefen, en swak rolmodelle. Afwendingstrategieë word wêreldwyd
beoefen, ook in Suid-Afrika, om die toenemende aantal jeugdiges wat met die gereg bots, te
help. Nadat afwendingspraktyke in Suid-Afrika gewettig is, is sekere uitdagings in die praktyk
ervaar. Min menings is deur maatskaplike werkers geopper oor afwendingspraktyke nadat
bepalings ingevolge die Kindergeregtigheidswet nr 75 van 2008 toegepas is.
Die doel van die studie is om insigte te verleng van maatskaplike werkers wat
afwendingsprogramme met manlike jeugmisdadigers fasiliteer. Aandag is geskenk aan die
aard van jeugoortredings deur manlike jeugdiges in Suid-Afrika, beskrywings van
afwendingsprogramme wat jeugdiges buite die strafregtelike stelsel behandel ingevolge die
Kindergeregtigheidswet nr 75 van 2008, om insigte te win oor die omvang, aard en bydrae
van afwendingsprogramme vir manlike jeugoortreders met die oog op rehabilitasie, om die
menings en insigte van maatskaplike werkers oor afwendingsprogramme vir manlike
jeugoortreders te ondersoek, en om aanbevelings te doen oor die fasilitering van
afwendingsprogramme vir sulke oortreders.
'n Kombinasie van kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenaderings is in hierdie studie
gevolg. Tydens hierdie ondersoek is ook beide 'n verkennende en beskrywende
navorsingsontwerp benut, omdat die literatuur 'n gebrek toon aan die insigte van
maatskaplike werkers oor afwendingsprogramme met manlike jeugoortreders. 'n
Doelgerigte steekproeftrekking is gebruik om die deelnemers te keur. Gegewens is ingewin
deur middel van 'n gestruktureerde vraelys in twintig afsonderlike onderhoude. Sodoende
kon 'n geheelbeeld van die deelnemers se menings en insigte aangaande die onderwerp
verkry word. Die samestelling van die vraelys is gegrond op inligting wat uit die
literatuuroorsig verkry is. Die bevindinge van die ondersoek het grootendeels dié van die literatuuroorsig bevestig,
naamlik dat mans meer kwesbaar is vir jeugoortredings, dat ouers en gesinne 'n groot rol
speel in die oorsake van jeugoortredings, en dat jeugoortreders baat kan vind by
afwendingsprogramme.
Die belangrikste aanbevelings voortspruitend uit hierdie studie dui daarop dat maatskaplike
werkers meer vaardighede moet opdoen en toegerus moet word om terapeutiese groepe te
fasiliteer aangesien dit sal bydra tot die vermindering van die herhaling van die oortreding.
Dit is belangrik dat ouers en families betrokke is by afwendingsprogramme omdat dit 'n
groter uitwerking op die jeugoortreder sal hê. Die aanbevelings dui ook op die belangrikheid
van die monitering en evaluering van afwendingsprogramme om te verseker dat die
bepalings ingevolge die Wet korrek toegepas word. Laastens, daar word voorgestel dat
meer navorsing oor afwendingspraktyke internasionaal gedoen word om kennis oor die
implementering daarvan te verbreed.

SEX OF PREVIOUS CHILDREN AND INTENTIONS FOR FURTHER BIRTHS, 1965-1970; CHANGES IN THE PUBLIC'S COMMITMENT TO CIVIL LIBERTIES, 1954-1973; BROKEN HOMES AND DELINQUENCY: A REASSESSMENTSloane, Douglas Mark January 1980 (has links)
Part I. Previous analyses of samples of women in the 1950's revealed that intentions for further births were affected by the sex of the previous children. More recent analyses found however that the effect of previous childrens' sex on fertility intentions has either diminished or disappeared completely, and some writers on the subject concluded that the decline in family size norms could account for that finding. The research reported herein, using samples of married women interviewed in the 1965 and 1970 National Fertility Studies, shows that at least among women with two children there has been no change over time in the tendency for mothers of similar sex children to be more likely to want an additional child than mothers of opposite sex children. The persistence of that tendency among mothers of two children argues strongly for including the sex of previous children as an independent variable in models of fertility intentions, since the decline in family size norms makes factors which affect the decision to have (or not have) a third child increasingly important. Part II. Since Stouffer's pioneering effort to ascertain the public's intolerance of various nonconformists, numerous researchers have relied on summary measures and scales to investigate intolerance and have stressed the effects of such general processes as aging and education on such measures. Parallel analyses of four of Stouffer's original items that were recently replicated and of four items included in the 1958 and 1971 Detroit Area Studies schedules indicates however that the use of such summary measures or scales is unjustified and that the processes of education and aging alone are inadequate in explaining changes in intolerance over time. While a small proportion of both samples are consistently (and perhaps ideologically) tolerant or intolerant in their responses to both sets of items, most respond situationally to the items and changes in tolerant and intolerant responses over time vary according to the item considered. Differential change by color in the Detroit sample suggests that short term and less predictable period effects must be considered (along with such general processes as aging and education) in explaining the level of intolerance at any given time, and changes in that level over time. Part III. An analysis of juveniles attending six Arizona high schools in the fall of 1975 shows that how homes were disrupted (by death, divorce or separation, or some other reason) has little impact on delinquent behavior and referrals to court, but whether homes were broken had a strong and consistent effect on both. Further, whereas it was the absence of a mother or father which affected the juveniles' delinquent behavior, it was the absence of a mother (but not a father) which affected their being referred to court.
