FINAL REPORT ON A PROJECT TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM OF JUVENILE PAROLEES FROM THE GEORGIA YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTERS THROUGH INTENSIVE COUNSELING AND SUPERVISION AND SMALL CASE LOADS.
Abstract
THE PROJECT EVALUATION WAS CARRIED OUT BY COMPARING RESULTS BETWEEN THE SUBJECT GROUP AND A CONTROL GROUP. ALTHOUGH THE PROJECT GOAL OF REDUCING THE RECIDIVISM RATE TO 20% WAS NOT ACHIEVED (28%), PROJECT ADMINISTRATORS FEEL THAT WITH A LARGER SUBJECT GROUP THE GOAL IS NOT UNREALISTIC.
