BRIEF OVERVIEW AND EVALUATION OF WEST GERMANY'S POSTRELEASE PROGRAMS TO HELP JUVENILE OFFENDERS TO ADJUST TO SOCIETY AS WELL AS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW PROGRAMS OUTSIDE THE INSTITUTIONAL PROBATION SYSTEM.
Abstract
PRINCIPAL FACTORS BEHIND THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE EXISTING PROBATION-STYLE PROGRAMS ARE THE DEGRADING EFFECT OF MORALIZING TREATMENT, CONTRADICTORY, THERAPEUTIC AND AUTHORITATIVE ROLES OF PROGRAM PERSONNEL, CONTINUING ATTRACTIVENESS TO RELEASEES OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR PATTERNS, AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL THREAT TO THE RELEASEES' IDENTITY BY TREATMENT EFFORTS. --IN GERMAN
