Abstract

PROJECT SEQUIL CONCERNS ITSELF WITH THE INTERPERSONAL MATURITY LEVEL OR INTEGRATION LEVEL (I-LEVEL) THEORY AND TYPOLOGY. THIS SYSTEM IS A WIDELY KNOWN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IN THE FIELD OF JUVENILE CORRECTIONS. THE I-LEVEL TYPOLOGY HAS BEEN USED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY'S COMMUNITY TREATMENT PROJECT SINCE 1961. OTHER PROJECTS IN THE YOUTH AUTHORITY HAVE ALSO USED THE I-LEVEL TYPOLOGY. IN ADDITION, MANY STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN THE TYPOLOGY. THIS SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION HAS MANY IMPLICATIONS FOR TREATMENT, MANAGEMENT, PLACEMENT, RESEARCH, AND STAFF ASSIGNMENT. A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE THEORY UNDERLYING THE TYPOLOGY AND THE CATEGORIES DEFINED BY THE TYPOLOGY FOLLOWS. PROGRAMS IN WHICH THE I-LEVEL TYPOLOGY HAS BEEN USED ARE DESCRIBED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
