DISCUSSION OF INSTANCES IN WHICH THE AUTHOR FEELS THAT THE CREATION OF LARGE STATE BUREAUCRACIES TO ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE ALL CORRECTIONAL SERVICES TO ALL COMMUNITIES HAS IMPEDED THE FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION OF THESE SERVICES.

Abstract

IT IS STATED THAT THE STATE-LEVEL CORRECTIONAL BUREAUCRACIES FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE DIVERSIONARY PROGRAMS, FAIL TO PROVIDE EQUAL SERVICES BY ATTACHING FUNDING AND TREATMENT TO LABELING JUVENILES IN ORDER OF NEED, AND REMOVAL OF RESOURCES FROM RECEIVERS AT LOCAL LEVEL.
