Abstract

INSTITUTIONALIZED DELINQUENTS, INSTITUTIONALIZED NON-DELINQUENTS (SOLDIERS), NON-INSTITUTIONALIZED DELINQUENTS (PROBATIONERS), AND NON-INSTITUTIONALIZED NON-DELINQUENTS (VOCATIONAL STUDENTS) WERE STUDIED TO DETERMINE THE RANGE OF THE EFFECTS OF DELINQUENCY AND INSTITUTIONALIZATION ON FUTURE PLANNING. DATA WERE FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE HYPOTHESES. THE NEED FOR FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC IS EMPHASIZED TO ASCERTAIN HOW THE RESULTS MAY BE GENERALIZED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
