▼ This study explores the lived experience of delinquent and
young offenders. The cause
and effect as well as the coping mechanism were incorporated. According to the
contextual definition and related literature explanation, delinquency is a social
deconstruction phenomenon that affects not only individuals but society as whole.
Furthermore the problem impact on psychological, physical, psycho social aspects of
the society. In order to assess the holistic life of participant the researcher used
qualitative research under this research type explanatory method has been utilized
and the researcher interviewed 19 informant specifically 9 delinquent and 10 police
officers. The result has shown that a number of driving factors leads youths to
becoming a victim of crime. Based on the finding of this study the major driving force
of delinquency explained by delinquents are substance abuse, peer pressure,
economic problem and separation of family (divorce). The above dynamics trigger the
problem. To combat the problem societal altitudinal change, community based
program, focusing crime than criminals are alternative and possible coping
mechanism. Finally, the researcher focuses on research implication, policy
implication and social work implication respectively. Social worker should be
creating awareness among the societies, advocate for youths and peoples who are
both literate and illiterate once and serve as bridge between a society and
government.

▼ This thesis presents a follow-up study of
young offenders released from secure custody at the Manitoba Youth Centre. It attempted to investigate three questions: What are
young offenders' experiences within the community following their release from secure custody?, How do
young offenders view their program experiences at the Manitoba Youth Centre? and What are the youn
offenders' perceptions regarding the benefits of their program experences toward community adjustement? Twenty-eight youths who had been in secure custody for at least three months and discharged to an address in Winnipeg were interviewed. The study based on a qualitative research model describes the experiences, thoughts and perceptions of these
young offenders.
The results found that the
young offenders' experiences within the community were less than ideal. Most of them lived in several different places, were in school or work for short periods of time and were reinvolved with the law. They viewed their program experiences at the Centre as favourable. Yet, the
young offenders felt they did not benefit in the community from these program experiences. The conclusion is that the Manitoba Youth Centre needs to consider factors that have been demonstrated to help
young offenders adjust in the community. The recommendations start with the development of theories and the incorporation of intervention strategies. Relapse Prevention is proposed as it takes into consideration many of the youths' comments and suggestions.

▼ The basis to Freud's view that men and women are essentially separate entities with their own unique psychological construction and human potential which arises from their anatomical differences, will be challenged from the paradigm of object relations theory and related research from attachment theory. It will be argued that while a substantive understanding of gender development and the related issue of spousal abuse are influenced by such important factors as patriarchal domination, social oppression, socialized roles, and economic inequality between the sexes, these forces are considered to have a secondary psychological effect when compared with the formative influence of early object relations. The object relational paradigm to be outlined is that it is the distinctive emotional impact of the contents and attitudes that occur between the members of each family that establish the blueprints for subsequent feelings about oneself and others, from which particular relational patterns with others are pursued and acted upon within the larger social structure. Freud may be credited for his recognition and pioneering systematic investigation into the central importance of the unconscious in the development and functioning of human beings. Beyond this being a theoretical entity that is devoid of any scientific rigour which cannot be tested, proven, and therefore accepted as a legitimate therapeutic modality, information will be offered that suggests otherwise. Spousal relationships in which abuse constitutes a chronic pattern of interaction between the persons involved is understood to occur within contemporary North American society as a collusive arrangement between two emotionally impaired individuals. The argument will be made that they enter into an unconscious dialogue wherein each perpetrates and perpetuates the hopes and disappointments of their own and their partner's past intrapsychic relational experiences. Incarceration alone does not serve the emotional needs of young offenders, but instead, generally provides conditions which advance what is accepted, within this paper, to be a frequently disturbed psychic structure. The emphasis within the Canadian correctional system seems to emphasize incarceration over rehabilitation with the expectation that punishing those who break the law will result in an abstention from such acts in the future. The argument will be presented that in addition to ensuring public safety through imprisonment for some, there is mounting evidence which demonstrates the success of treatment programmes both within and outside of correctional institutions for those who break the law, and whose primary emphasis is on treatment and rehabilitation rather than detention and retribution. Contrary to therapeutic intervention being carried out as an adjunct to existing penal institutions, or that it be directed principally at the conscious acquisition of skills and information, it is proposed that such efforts are best administered within 2 comprehensive therapeutic environments. Further, it…

▼ This thesis analyses findings from a predominantly
qualitative study of
young (aged 18 to 24) imprisoned fathers
interviewed in prison shortly before release, some of whom were
also followed into the community. The research focused on the
experiences of these men in prison, and how being a
young father in
prison affected their attitudes to offending, fatherhood and the
future. Furthermore, this work investigated how these men then
reintegrated back into the community and whether they managed to
fulfil their hopes for change, focussing on what factors helped or
hindered this process. This research applies desistance theory and
identity theory to the lived experience of
young imprisoned
fathers; a group that has been largely ignored in previous
research. The work is informed by both social-psychological
(Maruna, 2001; Farrall, 2002; Meek, 2007a) and sociological
perspectives (Laub and Sampson, 2003). This thesis adds to
knowledge about the process of change for
young offending fathers,
highlighting it to be a gradual and active process that draws on
both internal and external influences. Change is a complex
activity, especially for men with transient relationships and
lifestyles, which relies on the fragile coincidence of many
inter-connected factors. Due to the instability of many of these
factors, it is a process characterised by successes and failures.
This thesis argues that criminal justice policies need to support
fatherhood to take full advantage of fatherhood’s
desistance-potential. The findings provide evidence to support
Maruna et al’s (2004a) description of a three track process of
change, requiring self-determination, formal support and informal
support. They also suggest the need for the additional important
factors of identity transformation (Maruna, 2001; Paternoster and
Bushway, 2009) in positive social and personal contexts (Farrall,
2002; Walker, 2010). Fatherhood adds an additional layer to these
factors. This thesis also contributes to knowledge of how agency
and structural factors interact.

▼ Amidst growing concerns about a rise in girls entering the Youth Justice System and official data highlighting increases in girls violent offending this doctoral thesis focuses on girls in the Youth Justice System. Drawing on case files and in depth interviews with a cohort of girls supervised by a Home Counties Youth Offending Team (YOT), and interviews with YOT practitioners it explores their needs and offending patterns and examines contemporary system responses to them. It aims to contribute to practice knowledge and understanding about girls offending, and to identify approaches and interventions most likely to be effective with them. Findings point to girls having multiple and interrelated needs and troubled backgrounds. Exclusion from school and non attendance, experience of severe family conflict and violence, heavy alcohol use and poverty and disadvantage are all cited as key risk factors for girls’ involvement in offending and other types of behaviour which can lead to social exclusion. Minor assault and the influence of alcohol emerge as key features in girls offending patterns. Assaults commonly arise from disputes with friends or family members, or occur whilst girls are in a mixed peer group where assaults are perpetrated against another young person or a Police Officer. The impact of more formal responses by Police and YOTS are evident and show that the highly regulated and male oriented Youth Justice System hampers the likelihood of successful interventions with girls. This study cites the importance of gender specific responses and interventions which are holistic, informal and flexible to meet the distinct needs and offending patterns of girls in the Youth Justice System. More widely early identification of girls at risk, information sharing across children, health and adult services, and the provision of a range of support and positive opportunities to girls which extend beyond the life of a Court Order are identified as key aspects of strategies aimed at improving future outcomes for girls.

▼ Therapy with youth involved in the criminal justice
system presents a variety of challenges. Especially challenging is
the establishment of a therapeutic alliance, which
psychotherapeutic research shows is a strong predictor in the
success of therapy. The purpose of this study was therefore to
investigate the therapeutic alliance in young offender
rehabilitation. A qualitative approach was used and semi-structured
interviews were conducted with four young offenders. Interpretative
Phenomenological Analysis yielded three major themes and the study
concluded that building a therapeutic alliance within a young
offender population is a complex process, but that youth have a
stronger relationship with therapists who engage them using active
therapeutic tasks, foster the establishment of an emotional bond,
and collaborate on the progress of sessions. These results provide
useful information for the development and improvement of young
offender treatment.

▼ Objectives: There is evidence that childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with increased risk of offending and violent crime. This study aimed to explore associations between TBI in a group of delinquent and vulnerable young people (VYP) at risk of offending, and facial emotion recognition (FER) abilities, inhibition control (Stop-IT) and self-reported reactive-proactive aggression (RPQ). Methods: There were two studies. The first study used a cross sectional between group design to compare 45 VYP (with and without TBI) and a control group of 59 students on FER task measuring emotion recognition accuracy of six basic emotions. The second study examined differences between TBI and non-TBI groups in the VYP sample (N=21) on a Stop-IT task, FER accuracy and self-reported reactive-proactive aggression. Results: A history of TBI was reported by 60% of the VYP group (48.9% with loss of consciousness [LoC]), whereas 30% of the control group reported a history of TBI (25.4% with LoC). The VYP group (with and without TBI) demonstrated a similar pattern of reduced overall FER accuracy that was significantly different to the control group. Compared to the control group, The VYP groups (with and without TBI) were less accurate on recognising anger, disgust, sadness and surprise, but not happy and fear. There were no significant differences between the TBI- and non-TBI groups. The second study did not find any significant differences between the TBI and non-TBI groups on overall FER accuracy, Stop-IT performance, and RPQ scores. There were also no significant associations between these measures. Conclusions: Future research requires larger samples that enable investigating the association between different severity of TBI, FER and inhibition control ability. Better and more youth-friendly measures are also needed.

Psicodrama moreniano com um jovem delinquente: Aplicação do hermeneutic single case efficacy design.

▼ Face à carência de estudos de psicodrama com jovens delinquentes, a presente
tese tem como objetivo estudar a eficácia deste modelo terapêutico com um jovem,
entre os 14 e 18 anos, que esteja a cumprir uma medida tutelar educativa de
acompanhamento educativo. Foi escolhida como metodologia o Hermeneutic Single
Case Efficacy Design (Elliott, 2002) por permitir uma avaliação mais minuciosa e
rigorosa das mudanças que ocorrem ao longo do processo terapêutico, tendo em conta a
sua eficácia e eficiência, e a análise do processo de mudança.
Propomo-nos a refletir sobre a adequação e efeito do psicodrama em jovens
delinquentes, tendo em conta, entre outros: que a dramatização psicodramática é útil
para indivíduos com dificuldades de verbalização, sendo esta devido ao seu
temperamento, educação e/ou cultura (Blatner, 2000). Segundo, que por um lado, os
jovens delinquentes rejeitam o pensamento, recorrendo ao acting out, ou seja,
substituem o pensar (Raymond, 1999) e que por outro lado, o psicodrama converte a
ação com a intenção da não consciência/pensamento, em comportamento que promove
o insight e maior capacidade de auto reflexão (Blatner, 1997). Terceiro, terão a
oportunidade de experienciar o que é estar no papel do outro e desenvolver empatia
(Blatner, 2000). Quarto, através do psicodrama os jovens terão uma aquisição, gradual,
de um manancial de estratégias para lidar com situações novas e antigas (Coutinho &
Veiga, 2006), permitindo uma diminuição da impulsividade e um aumento do
autocontrolo e da espontaneidade. Finalmente, iremos também analisar, se os
acontecimentos são vividos por estes jovens sem a consciência dos afetos que os
acompanham, e sem a capacidade de os nomear - alexitimia (Raymond, 1999). Contudo,
através do psicodrama poderão (re)aprender a identificar e nomear as suas emoções
(Kellermann, 2007). Desta forma, serão testadas as seguintes hipóteses: 1) O jovem
apresentará níveis significativamente menores de impulsividade no terceiro momento de
avaliação, bem como um autocontrolo significativamente maior em comparação com o
início da terapia; 2) O jovem apresentará níveis significativamente menores de
alexitimia no terceiro momento de avaliação comparativamente com o início da terapia,
assim como uma espontaneidade significativamente maior; e 3) Espera-se que existam
também diferenças estatisticamente diferentes nos conteúdos do PQ.
Due to the lack of studies of psychodrama with young offenders, the aim of the
present study is to analyze the efficacy of this therapy on a teenage boy between 14 and
18 years old and who is serving, according to the Portuguese law, the medida tutelar
educativa de acompanhamento educativo. In order to do this, we chose the Hermeneutic
Single Case Efficacy Design (Elliott, 2002) that allow us to rigorously evaluate the
changes occurring throughout the therapeutic process. This design takes into account
efficacy, efficiency and the research upon the process of change.
In this milieu, we propose to reflect on the appropriateness and effect of
psychodrama in young…

▼ The aim of this study was to examine what characterizes juvenile sex offending in Iceland. This is a descriptive study based on pre-existing data on 92 juveniles reported to authorities for juvenile sex offending in 2012 to 2014, and their victims. A total of 112 cases were analysed. The reports were accessed through the Icelandic Police National Database. The majority of the offenders were male, aged of 11 to 17 at the time of the alleged offence. In most instances the offenders knew their victim. The findings demonstrated that it was more frequent that the reported offenders had residency outside the capital region. The juveniles were most often reported for sexual misconduct with a child under 15 years and rape. It was rare that the offenders and/or their victims were intoxicated when the alleged offence took place. In addition, the results demonstrated that the offenders showed low recidivism rates.
Keywords: juvenile sex offenders, types of offence, residency, offence characteristics
Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að kanna hvað einkennir helst unga kynferðisafbrotamenn á Íslandi sem og fórnarlömb þeirra. Rannsóknin var unnin með greiningu á rannsóknarskýrslum hjá 92 einstaklingum sem tilkynntir voru til lögreglunnar á árunum 2012 til 2014 fyrir kynferðisbrot framið fyrir 18 ára aldur, alls 112 mál. Meirihluti brotamannanna voru piltar sem brutu á stúlkum. Í flestum tilfellum þekkti brotamaður fórnarlamb sitt. Niðurstöður sýndu fram á að meirihluti afbrotamanna höfðu aðsetur utan höfuðborgarsvæðisins þegar meint brot átti sér stað. Algengast var að þessir einstaklingar væru tilkynntir fyrir nauðgun eða fyrir að hafa samræði við barn undir 15 ára aldri. Sjaldgæft var að brotaþoli og/eða þolandi væru undir áhrifum áfengis eða eiturlyfja þegar meint brot átti sér stað. Einnig sýndu niðurstöðurnar fram á að fátítt var að brotamennirnir frömdu fleiri en eitt kynferðisbrot.

▼ Objective Adolescence is recognised as a risk period for offending and head injury (HI), with higher rates of HI found in the young offender (YO) population compared to the general population. Drug and alcohol use has also been associated with increased risk of offending. This study aims to explore the relationships between HI, Post-concussion symptoms (PCS), reactive and proactive aggression, and offending behaviour in YOs, whilst considering the effects of drug and alcohol use on these relationships. Participants A sample of ninety eight males was recruited from a Young Offender Institute: the age range was 16-18 years of age with an average age of 17. Design A between subjects cross sectional design was employed. Participants were recruited using an opportunistic sampling strategy. Main Measures Self-rated/report measures of: HI, Post-Concussion Symptoms (Adapted Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptom Questionnaire), Aggression (Reactive-Proactive Scale), criminal histories, and drug and alcohol history. Results HI was reported by 73.5% of the overall sample, with 61.1% reporting a “knock out”. Frequency and severity of HI was associated with significantly higher PCS scores. Examination of covariate- drug and alcohol use did not affect these relationships. PCS were a significant predictor of reactive aggression, total number of convictions and number of previous violent convictions. However, dosage of HI (severity and frequency) was not a significant predictor of reactive aggression or criminal profiles. Conclusions There appears to be a dose-response effect of severity and frequency of HI on PCS, with PCS predicting reactive aggression. Such symptoms may compromise functions and lead to increased aggression. This highlights the need for better screening and interventions for HI and on-going symptoms in YOs.

▼ This research presents the first empirical study of music provision in Scottish prisons and explores the potential benefits of music engagement for prisoners, with a focus on young offenders’ experience. The scope of the study begins with an investigation into music provision in prisons throughout Scotland by means of a small-scale survey. This survey showed that despite a lack of documentation, music is currently present in Scottish prisons and has been previously, albeit intermittently. Music provision included a range of activity: learning how to play musical instruments, singing, music theory, song-writing and composition. Subsequently, two music intervention studies were conducted with young offenders at HM Young Offenders Institution Polmont. The first study was a ten-week project with three participant groups: a music group, an art group and a control group. Pre- and post-interviews and measures were used to assess participants’ self-esteem, self-control, behaviour, literacy skills and engagement with education. Numerous difficulties were identified with conducting such research in a prison environment, including the recruitment process and using standard assessment measures. However, results from the small number of men involved showed!an increase in engagement with education for all three groups during the project and a steady continued increase in education engagement for the music group after the project ended. Additionally, the music and art groups showed a small increase in mean scores for self-esteem, positive emotions reported and self-control. The second study examined two music interventions with young offenders as part of the year-long Inspiring Change pilot project. This study used interviews and session review forms with education staff and arts practitioners to document the process of the organisations involved in the planning and implementation of the projects. Focus groups with young offenders were carried out to gather their opinions of the programmes. Participants expressed that they especially appreciated the high level of professionalism of the arts practitioners, working as a group, and being recognised as making an individual contribution towards a final project. In addition to the survey and intervention studies, a Knowledge Exchange workshop was designed for music tutors in Scottish prisons to meet, learn about research on music in prisons, and exchange ideas for best practice. A workbook and afternoon workshop format was investigated in terms of its effectiveness and was found to be beneficial for music tutors in learning more about the research and practice of teaching music in prisons. This thesis contributes to the developing research on the benefits of music provision for prisoners and provides a baseline of music provision in Scottish prisons for further study.

▼ This thesis describes an investigation into the type of car crime often referred to as 'joyriding'. Stealing a car for the fun of driving can be carried out quite excessively, and this has led to a number of anecdotal comments that joyriding may be 'addictive'. This has particularly been the case in Northern Ireland, where many joyriders have continued in the behaviour despite the threat or experience of serious paramilitary punishment. However, whilst several studies of car crime have alluded to the suggestion that some joyriders appear to be addicted to the behaviour, research conducted to specifically investigate this phenomenon has been scant. The present study therefore explores this notion further by exploring joyriding within the context of an addiction model. Following 10 pilot interviews with a total of 33 young offenders, the main study consisted of 76 semi-structured interviews conducted with 54 convicted joyriders (aged between 15-21 years), 12 professionals with care and control of joyriders, plus 11 non joyriding young offenders; the sample being drawn from both the Midlands and Northern Ireland. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and a qualitative thematic analysis was undertaken using QSR NUD *IST software. The career of the joyrider is presented in terms of how it maps on to the career pattern of (other) potentially addictive behaviours from initiation through to cessation of the behaviour. Discussion considers how the activity can be understood within the context of a deviant subculture, as well as an investigation of possible dependency to joyriding by some individuals as defined using DSM IV-type criteria. This analysis is followed by a consideration of how notions of `addiction', and 'addiction to joyriding', are perceived by the respondents, and how these notions compare with the 'diagnostic' criteria. Finally, the process of stopping joyriding is discussed within Prochaska and DiClemente's (1984) stages of change model, and related intervention strategies are suggested for the rehabilitation of joyriders at each of the hypothesised stages of change.

▼ Aboriginal youth are overrepresented at Vancouver Island’s Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services (YFPS) clinics. Despite this, research on Aboriginal
young offenders is very limited. Information of the unique needs of Aboriginal
young offenders is needed to enhance culturally appropriate forensic services. The goal of this study was to identify psychosocial characteristics associated with delinquent behaviour that distinguish Aboriginal
young offenders from non-Aboriginal
young offenders. Utilizing data of 638 reports (168 Aboriginal
young offenders and 470 non-Aboriginal
young offenders) from the YFPS databank, logistic regression models were used to predict being an Aboriginal
young offender, from 24 psychosocial characteristics. Aboriginal
young offenders were differentiated based on 12 significant factors. Key findings were: Aboriginal youth were almost 5 times more likely to report alcohol use, 3 times more likely to be incarcerated and 3 times more likely to have lived with a step-parent, a non-parent and to be removed from their families for 1-2 months, than non-Aboriginal youth. The results are preliminary; significant amounts of unknown data was found for both ethnic groups in the YFPS databank. This study is an important first step in laying the foundation for empirical research on Aboriginal
young offenders necessary for culturally appropriate treatment services.

▼ A certain percentage of young offenders are re-incarcerated after their first offence and they land back in jail to serve a further sentence. This implies that they could not find their feet back in society once they have been released and it signifies failure on the part of the correctional authorities to rehabilitate the young offenders successfully. Recidivism is a complicated phenomenon which is not easy to deal with as the correctional institutions often have no control over the circumstances outside the prison walls affecting the young offender.
The overall goal of this research was to establish the circumstances leading to the re-arrest of the young offender in the Kroonstad Youth Centre in order to adjust the rehabilitation programmes if necessary.
The data was collected by means of a focus group consisting of young offenders who have been re-arrested after the first offence.
The young offenders could not accurately identify the circumstances leading to their re-arrests, but they could give an indication of the family and community circumstances under which they must live. This ranged from unstable family life to community conditions not conducive to their adjustment. It was also found that the lack of support in the form of outside NGO's to assist them with their adjustment once they left prison was a serious shortcoming.
It was recommended that intervention with the youth offenders should be focused on teaching skills that will help them to adjust in the community after their release. It was also recommended that families be trained on how to deal with the behaviour of the youths who has violated the law.

▼ Drug use is a highly prevalent and modifiable risk factor for recidivism. Drug use and recidivism are complex phenomena, as reflected in the diverse drug-crime relationships reported in the research literature. These relationships have not been studied in detail among community-supervised youths, who comprise the majority of supervised
young offenders and differ in important ways from detainees and adults. This thesis examined drug-crime relationships among 800 Australians in community-based juvenile justice supervision. Extensive baseline health surveys were linked with lifetime court data, giving four years' prospective observation of recidivism.Two cross-sectional studies showed that the sample was characterised by family disruption, Conduct Disorder (58%), distress (59%), cognitive deficits (67%), delinquent peers (77%), school failure (79%) and weekly drug use (69%). Psychosocial dysfunction was concentrated among frequent binge drinkers (10%), daily cannabis users (35%) and weekly users of amphetamines (9%) or opioids (5%). Frequent binge drinking was linked with five-fold higher odds of self-harm but did not affect recidivism. Three prospective studies modelled predictors of the prevalence (79%), timing (median: eight months after baseline), frequency (mean: six convictions) and severity of recidivism (58% committed less serious offences). Frequent drug users had poorer recidivism outcomes but drug use did not predict recidivism for most drug users. However, daily cannabis use predicted more rapid violence and weekly opioid use predicted a four-fold increase in theft outcomes. Static (unmodifiable) risk factors including prior detention were stronger predictors of recidivism than dynamic (modifiable) risk factors. With the exception of opioid use, risk factors varied substantially by gender, ethnicity and age.The original contribution of this thesis was to show that
young offenders' drug-crime relationships are characterised by their variation. Drug use per se did not affect recidivism; rather, certain patterns of frequent use increased the risk of some offences. Research, policy and prevention efforts must disaggregate drug use and recidivism measures when modelling their relationships, assessing recidivism risk, and triaging
offenders into education and treatment. These findings provide a clear imperative to reduce progression to frequent drug use, and to provide demographically-tailored responses that address the health and criminogenic implications of frequent drug use.

▼ Semi-structured interviews with 29 probation officers were conducted about their experiences addressing youths’ criminogenic needs in accordance with the Risk-Need-Responsivity framework. Probation officers discussed barriers they face at the individual, organizational, and systemic level (‘environmental’ issues that transcend – but impact on – the individual youth). Results revealed that challenges probation officers faced included ambiguity with respect to their role addressing certain risk-need domains, waitlist for services, having to prioritize certain noncriminogenic needs, involving parents, and the prevalence of mental illness (particularly concurrent diagnoses). Probation officers also discussed systemic barriers that they felt were out of their control but significantly impacted youths’ risk. Results are discussed in terms of implications for theory, research, policy, and practice.

▼ The IMG is one of several new initiatives for dealing with youth offending in New Zealand designed and administered by the Youth Courts. Other initiatives include the Christchurch Drug Court and the Marae Youth Monitoring Court at Poko-o-Rawiri Marae in Gisborne.
Established in 2007, the IMG seeks to reduce youth offender recidivism by targeting the small number of youth
offenders [about five per cent (Lovell and Norris, 1990; Moffit, 1993) responsible for the greater number of crimes. The intervention addresses the underlying issues described by Judge Becroft as creating a significant overlap between risk factors for offending, background of family dysfunction and disadvantage, psychological disorders such as conduct disorder and learning disabilities, and drug/alcohol dependence/addiction (Becroft, 2009,McLaren, 2000). This study asked the research question ‘what are the key features of the IMG that enhance the rehabilitation of youth
offenders and reduce recidivism?’
To address this question the thesis located the IMG ntervention within the theoretical framework of therapeutic jurisprudence (Winick and Wexler, 2003) whereby court sanctions are used not simply to punish but to effect behaviour change (Walker, 2001). Using a combination of phenomenology methodology and case studies the research sought to develop a more holistic understanding of the experiences of the key actors in the IMG (Polit and Hungler, 1995), and identify the key features of the IMG intervention that make it effective in reducing youth offender recidivism.
The case studies in this thesis indicated that the IMG intervention reduced the chances of the youth
offenders re-offending. The key to the effectiveness of the intervention is the dedicated team of professionals working intensively with the youth
offenders, providing coordinated services that address the individual needs of the youth offender, on-going regular monitoring that is supportive but holds the youth offender accountable, thus actively engaging them in their rehabilitation. However, the IMG faces a number of challenges, such as the limitation of resources which makes it difficult to extend the intervention to larger groups of youth
offenders, lack of understanding of the role and functions of the IMG both by the general public that seems to take a retributive rather than rehabilitative position with regards to youth
offenders, and even within significant government departments that work with youth
offenders. There is also the challenge of creating post-IMG opportunities for the IMG graduates to move into, such as employment, training and on-going mentoring so that they do not go back to the environment of dysfunction and crime. These challenges are examined and some recommendations provided as to how the IMG intervention could be enhanced.

▼ This thesis describes an investigation into the type of car crime often referred to as 'joyriding'. Stealing a car for the fun of driving can be carried out quite excessively, and this has led to a number of anecdotal comments that joyriding may be 'addictive'. This has particularly been the case in Northern Ireland, where many joyriders have continued in the behaviour despite the threat or experience of serious paramilitary punishment. However, whilst several studies of car crime have alluded to the suggestion that some joyriders appear to be addicted to the behaviour, research conducted to specifically investigate this phenomenon has been scant. The present study therefore explores this notion further by exploring joyriding within the context of an addiction model. Following 10 pilot interviews with a total of 33 young offenders, the main study consisted of 76 semi-structured interviews conducted with 54 convicted joyriders (aged between 15-21 years), 12 professionals with care and control of joyriders, plus 11 non joyriding young offenders; the sample being drawn from both the Midlands and Northern Ireland. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and a qualitative thematic analysis was undertaken using QSR NUD *IST software. The career of the joyrider is presented in terms of how it maps on to the career pattern of (other) potentially addictive behaviours from initiation through to cessation of the behaviour. Discussion considers how the activity can be understood within the context of a deviant subculture, as well as an investigation of possible dependency to joyriding by some individuals as defined using DSM IV-type criteria. This analysis is followed by a consideration of how notions of `addiction', and 'addiction to joyriding', are perceived by the respondents, and how these notions compare with the 'diagnostic' criteria. Finally, the process of stopping joyriding is discussed within Prochaska and DiClemente's (1984) stages of change model, and related intervention strategies are suggested for the rehabilitation of joyriders at each of the hypothesised stages of change.

▼ This thesis analyses findings from a predominantly qualitative study of young (aged 18 to 24) imprisoned fathers interviewed in prison shortly before release, some of whom were also followed into the community. The research focused on the experiences of these men in prison, and how being a young father in prison affected their attitudes to offending, fatherhood and the future. Furthermore, this work investigated how these men then reintegrated back into the community and whether they managed to fulfil their hopes for change, focussing on what factors helped or hindered this process. This research applies desistance theory and identity theory to the lived experience of young imprisoned fathers; a group that has been largely ignored in previous research. The work is informed by both social-psychological (Maruna, 2001; Farrall, 2002; Meek, 2007a) and sociological perspectives (Laub and Sampson, 2003). This thesis adds to knowledge about the process of change for young offending fathers, highlighting it to be a gradual and active process that draws on both internal and external influences. Change is a complex activity, especially for men with transient relationships and lifestyles, which relies on the fragile coincidence of many inter-connected factors. Due to the instability of many of these factors, it is a process characterised by successes and failures. This thesis argues that criminal justice policies need to support fatherhood to take full advantage of fatherhood’s desistance-potential. The findings provide evidence to support Maruna et al’s (2004a) description of a three track process of change, requiring self-determination, formal support and informal support. They also suggest the need for the additional important factors of identity transformation (Maruna, 2001; Paternoster and Bushway, 2009) in positive social and personal contexts (Farrall, 2002; Walker, 2010). Fatherhood adds an additional layer to these factors. This thesis also contributes to knowledge of how agency and structural factors interact.

▼ There is a high prevalence of Developmental
Language Disorder (DLD) amongst
young offenders. First time
entrants to the Youth Justice Service (YJS), however, have yet to
be considered. In recent years there has been a shift towards the
use of restorative justice (RJ) in response to low level youth
crime. Although there is speculation pertaining to the impact of
DLD on RJ processes, the
subject has yet to be empirically tested.
Despite the prevalence rate of unidentified DLD in the YJS, little
research exists considering the crime outcomes of
young adults with
identified DLD. A range of methods have been used in the studies
included in this thesis, including secondary analysis on a
longitudinal clinical cohort and survival analysis on novel data.
The first two studies contained in this thesis relate to the
longitudinal outcomes of
young adults with DLD. They suggest that
young adults with identified DLD, who have received early targeted
intervention, have less adversarial contact with their local police
and youth offending service than age matched peers. The
participants also reported receiving increased levels of support
from others, namely their parents, with tasks in early adulthood.
The following two studies comprise of novel data collected to
profile the psycholinguistic and socioemotional characteristics of
young offenders, with and without, DLD and detail gender
differences. Additionally, this thesis contains the first study to
examine rates of reoffending and severity of crime in
young
offenders with and without DLD. Survival analysis indicated that
the absolute risk of reoffending within a year of the
young
person’s court order was significantly higher for the youths
with unidentified DLD compared to the youths without DLD. This risk
persisted even when covariates were added to the model. The
findings of this PhD provide support for the early identification
and intervention for children with DLD. They also provide an
important contribution to the risk assessment processes and methods
of rehabilitation in the youth justice service. Directions for
future research and potential improvements to RJ processes are
discussed.

▼ IS ADOLESCENT FEMALE SEX OFFENDING A TRUE PARADOX? A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SEX OFFENDING AND DELINQUENCY This study aimed to help determine whether adolescent female sex
offenders constitute a unique group in terms of exposure to psychosocial risk factors that literature suggests influence the development of sexual offending behavior. Using archival data from youth referred to the juvenile justice system for violent ?hands-on? felonies, a group of adolescent female sex
offenders (N = 145) was compared with equal-sized groups of adolescent female delinquents, adolescent male sex
offenders, and adolescent male delinquents. As expected, significantly more sex offending girls than boys had experienced sexual abuse and depression/anxiety and had been diagnosed with a mental disorder. Additionally, when compared with delinquent girls, sex offending girls had experienced more sexual abuse and trauma; however, there were no differences between these groups of girls in terms of depression/anxiety and suicidality. Finally, although a substantial proportion of both sex offending and delinquent girls had experienced poly-victimization, nearly one third had not experienced any trauma or victimization. The findings of this study suggest that further empirical research is needed to better understand the ways in which sex offending girls resemble other delinquent youth. ( en )

▼ Within the young offender population, rates of personality disorder and mood disorders are considerably higher than both the general and adult offender population. Despite this high level of need and high risk of harm psychological services within prisons are widely underutilized. No research to date has explored the barriers to accessing psychological treatment for male young offenders, aged 18-21, detained in a UK prison. This study was aiming to address this gap in the literature. It compared self-reported barriers and psychological distress levels for Black Minority Ethnic (BME) and White young offenders not accessing treatment as well as those who are. This study was a quantitative cross-sectional design, 128 participants were recruited in order to achieve a medium effect size. Service user consultation guided the recruitment strategy. BME young offenders not engaged in treatment reported significantly more barriers, including more stigma related barriers, to accessing treatment than BME young offenders who were engaged in treatment, but both groups had equal levels of psychological distress. This result was not found among the White young offenders. There was no significant difference between BME and White young offenders in the number of barriers reported, including stigma barriers. Higher scores on an antisocial personality screen increased the likelihood of an offender being in treatment and a higher number of self-reported barriers to accessing treatment decreased the likelihood of an offender being in treatment. While these findings need to be considered within their limitations, this study has addressed a number of gaps in the clinical forensic literature in terms of sample characteristics, recruitment location and methodology. Future research should seek to explore the subgroup of BME young offenders who seem to face additional barriers as well as further predictors of engagement in treatment whilst in prison.

▼ The legal achievements that reassure the rights for children and young people, especially the right to education, are in need of the public actions concerning democratization of school access and attendance of young offenders. The school failure and abandonment are a common phenomenon in young offenders lives, and a significant percentage of these young do not attend to school. This qualitative study has as its central objective to comprehend the significance that young who currently attend to an assisted freedom attribute to school and their scholar experiences, aiming to identify the aspects which might act as facilitators and obstacles for their school attendance. The study included six young offenders who currently attend to an assisted freedom. The data collect were carried out by means of semi-structured interviews, observation with diary registration and documental analysis. It was found that school history of the young participants are marked by frequent changes of schools, school failures and expulsions, with the institution an ambiguous meaning, because while it discriminates, label and is the scene of conflict with teachers and peers, also promotes sociability, relationships friendship and flirting. In general, the narrative of young people about school indicates that this space is present violence and resistance movements against the relationships that oppress them, but also social relationships between friends and teachers. Overcome the idea of banking education, starting with the knowledge of experience had the students, respecting their way of being in the world, promoting inquiry, research, criticism and awareness of the reality around them, perceived themselves as routes to be followed in facing the difficulties pointed out by young people to their school attendance. The study highlights the need for training of educators in their classrooms to promote a more humane and liberating education, and that the improvement of interpersonal relationships in school constitutes a way to promote school attendance of young offenders who currently attend to an assisted freedom.
As conquistas no plano legislativo que asseguram direitos e deveres a crianças e jovens, principalmente o direito à educação, carecem de ações políticas voltadas à democratização do acesso e permanência na escola de jovens em conflito com a lei. O fracasso e a evasão escolar são fenômenos comuns na vida de jovens infratores e parte significativa dessa população encontra-se fora das escolas. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa, tem como objetivo central compreender o significado que jovens cumprindo medida socioeducativa de Liberdade Assistida atribuem à escola e às suas vivências escolares, buscando identificar aspectos que facilitam ou dificultam sua permanência nesse espaço. Participaram do estudo seis jovens em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de Liberdade Assistida. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observação participante com registros em diário de campo e análise documental. Verifica-se que…

▼ Ce mémoire de maîtrise cherche à jeter un regard approfondi sur les cas des jeunes contrevenants référés au processus de médiation à Trajet, un organisme de justice alternative à Montréal. Plus précisément, les objectifs sont de décrire les caractéristiques des cas référés, d’explorer leur relation avec la participation au processus de médiation et avec le résultat de celui-ci, et de comparer ces mêmes éléments en regard de deux périodes inclues dans le projet : celle où s’appliquait la Loi sur les jeunes contrevenants et celle où la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour les adolescents assortie de l’Entente cadre sont entrés en vigueur. Des méthodes de recherche quantitatives ont été utilisées pour analyser les cas référés à Trajet sur une période de 10 ans (1999-2009).
Des analyses descriptives ont permis d’établir les caractéristiques communes ou divergentes entre les cas référés à Trajet et ceux référés à d’autres programmes de médiation. Des analyses bi-variées ont révélé qu’une relation significative existait entre la participation au processus de médiation et l’âge et le sexe des contrevenants, le nombre de crimes commis par ceux-ci, le nombre de victimes impliquées, le type de victime, l’âge et le sexe des victimes et, le délai entre la commission du crime et le transfert du dossier à Trajet. La réalisation d’une régression logistique a révélé que trois caractéristiques prédisent de manière significative la participation à la médiation : l’âge des contrevenants, le nombre de victimes impliquées et le délai entre la commission du crime et le transfert du dossier à Trajet. La faible proportion d’échecs du processus de médiation a rendu inutile la réalisation d’analyses bi et multi-variées eu égard au résultat du processus de médiation. Des différences significatives ont été trouvées entre les cas référés en médiation sous la Loi sur les jeunes contrevenants et ceux référés sous la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour les adolescents assortie à l’Entente cadre en ce qui a trait au type de crime, au nombre de délits commis, à l’existence d’une référence précédente à Trajet, aux raisons pour lesquelles la médiation n’a pas eu lieu, à la restitution sous toutes ces formes et, plus spécialement, la restitution financière. La participation à la médiation est apparue plus probable sous la LSJPA que sous la LJC. Des corrélations partielles ont montré que différentes caractéristiques étaient associées à la participation à la médiation dans les deux périodes en question. Seule une caractéristique, le sexe des victimes, s’est avérée reliée significativement à la participation à la médiation tant sous la LJC que sous la LSJPA.
Les résultats de ce projet ont donné lieu à une connaissance plus approfondie des cas référés à Trajet pour un processus de médiation et à une exploration de l’impact que la LSJPA et l’Entente cadre sur ce processus. Toutefois, l’échantillon étant limité au cas traités à Trajet ne permet pas la généralisation de ces résultats à l’ensemble des cas référés aux organismes de…

▼ The most common type of human animal interaction (HAI) programme used in prisons involves prisoners caring for and training unwanted dogs from rescue shelters, to prepare the dogs for rehoming. Such programmes have been previously developed specifically aimed towards male young offenders, and are claimed to improve emotional, social and practical outcomes.
Paws for Progress, the first prison based dog training programme in the UK, was introduced to HM YOI Polmont in 2011. By clearly communicating each step of the 5 Step approach (1. Identify the problem; 2. Review the evidence; 3. Develop a logic model; 4. Identify indicators and monitor the logic model; 5. Evaluate the logic model), it has enhanced our understanding of the development processes required for effective prison based dog training programmes.
This evaluation provides the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of short, medium and long term outcomes for Scottish young offenders serving custodial sentences (N = 70) following participation. The aims of Paws for Progress are to improve behaviour, increase engagement in education, develop employability skills, and enhance well-being. Using a mixed design with two control groups and triangulating quantitative and qualitative outcomes, the evaluation assesses the efficacy of the programme in meeting these aims.
Systematic analyses of semi-structured interviews pre and post participation in the programme support findings from the quantitative analyses. Analyses of institutional behaviour, measured by Disciplinary Reports, educational progress measured by written assessments and qualifications, employability skills measured by psychometric tests, and prisoner well-being all improved for participants, but such improvements were not shown by control groups. Paws for Progress positively impacts short and medium term outcomes and data on longer term outcomes also indicate the benefits are far reaching.
By clearly relating programme aims to the outcomes achieved, and considering the contribution of Paws for Progress to future desistance from crime, the value and relevance of these findings are evident. The evaluation contributes to our understanding of effective methodologies in this applied context, which can be utilised to improve research practice in interventions in criminal justice and in human animal interaction.

▼ “Although they make up only 11 per cent of the population above the age of criminal responsibility (in England and Wales), in 2009, people in this age group were responsible for 17 per cent of all proven offending” (NAO, 2010:5). Sadly, 56 per cent of these young people are likely to re-offend within one year (NAO, 2010). These trends are not unique; they are common to many countries worldwide (e.g. De Gusti et al, 2009). Arguably then, current government strategies that aim to reduce recidivism including custodial sentences, are not working (Clarke, 2011). However, terms such as ‘criminal offence’ and the age criteria for criminal responsibility vary widely in their definitions between and within countries. Furthermore, reasons why young people re-offend emerge from complex and multi-dimensional needs and risk factors, which themselves vary over time. Attempts at correlations and comparisons are therefore inevitably contentious. Interventions perceived as most effective at reducing recidivism focus on multi-systemic approaches to changing behaviours (e.g. DfES, 2006). This research and its findings, contributes towards a better understanding of these multi-dimensional factors. This report presents outcomes from a mixed-methods, ethnographic, comparative research project in relation to a four-day intensive outdoor experiential education programme. For the purposes of this report, the programme is called ‘Bee Inspired’ and is specifically for young people defined as ‘at risk’ of offending or re-offending. Bee Inspired is unique because it involves the participants’ immersion in learning the practical skills of beekeeping. The research was based in three countries: the Azores islands (Portuguese-governed), Prince Edward Island, Canada and England, United Kingdom. During the programme, the participants were observed closely and their behaviour, experiences and comments recorded. Additional data were collected through written questionnaires and focus group sessions during and at the completion of the programme. The outcomes are presented using a method of written ‘vignettes’. This gives voices to the participants, whose perspectives, within research data, are often absent. This report provides evidence of their positive experiences of cognitive, social and emotional development during the Bee Inspired programme; these being intrinsically linked to the programme’s objectives and the researcher’s theoretical and ontological perspectives. The findings were triangulated; qualitative and quantitative data support previous educational research and produces some new insights. The research tracked the progress of the participants twelve and eighteen months after the completion of the Bee Inspired programme. Out of 45 participants, only three participants re-offended within eighteen months; well below average and expected norms as defined in similar research. In addition to the low re-offending rates, many participants continued their beekeeping practices which in itself may contribute to the perceived success of the programme.…

▼ The current study examined how disability and the concepts of risk, need and responsivity are understood by criminal justice professionals and inform their perceptions of young offenders with ID at sentencing under the ‘different but equal’ philosophy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 lawyers and 8 mental health workers across 6 major urban areas in Ontario. Participants primarily perceived ID through a medical discourse, overlooking social and structural barriers that, in some cases, may hinder adherence to sentencing dispositions. Specifically, participants discussed balancing the reduced culpability of offenders (e.g., intent) – justifying lenient sentencing – with public safety concerns (i.e., ID viewed as a barrier to rehabilitation) – justifying increasing the severity of sentences. Participants assessed clients with ID and their risks, needs and responsivity within the context of other legal factors: criminal history, severity of the offence, and YCJA objectives. Participants articulated the importance of tailored courthouse identification programs, services/funding, and education/training.

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas Públicas
Com o presente estudo, pretende-se compreender o processo de implementação de políticas
públicas de prevenção criminal nos centros educativos. A alocação dos meios adequados bem
como a selecção dos recursos necessários de forma a corresponder às expectativas que foram
criadas aos seus destinatários, justifica um acompanhamento eficiente, de forma a não desvirtuar
os seus propósitos. Aos centros educativos é cometida a responsabilidade de pôr em prática as
políticas de prevenção criminal, prosseguindo a ressocialização dos jovens infractores.
Sustentam a sua intervenção técnica na Lei Tutelar Educativa, no Regulamento Geral e
Disciplinar dos Centros Educativos, que por sua vez remetem para o Regulamento Interno e o
Projecto de Intervenção Educativa. O processo de implementação sofre influências de variáveis
sociais do contexto envolvente, dos destinatários, dos participantes, que agem de acordo com os
seus interesses. No estudo em presença utiliza-se uma metodologia de Estudo de Caso, que
incide sobre: Centro Educativo Padre António de Oliveira e Centro Educativo da Bela Vista.
Utiliza inspirações teóricas advindas da Teoria da Implementação, da Delinquência Juvenil e da
Reinserção Social. Utiliza ainda dados empíricos provenientes da recolha de percepções dos
actores chave envolvidos na implementação local das Políticas de Prevenção Criminal em
Portugal.
Implementation is the fourth stage of the process in producing public policy, was the “black box”
until recently time, for not be considered as the key in assessment of successes or failures of
policies. It is during this stage that the resources invested on policies implementations demand
accuracy, efficiency and careful management, to correspond the citizen’s expectations. The
Educative Centers are committed to realize in practice the policy of prevention of the
criminalities within the ressocilization of young offenders based in Lei Tutelar Educativa, in
Regulamento Geral e Disciplinar dos Centros Educativos and specifically on Regulamento
Interno and in the Projecto de Intervenção Educativa. During the implementation process the
program suffer many social influences, of the participants and the target that act according with
their own interest. The case study promote to analize two Centers: Centro Educativo Padre
António de Oliveira e Centro Educativo da Bela Vista. The study aimed to approach the
implementation theory on this field. We detect the need of training on the street level workers
and the varieties of activities on the centers.

▼ The present study examines the validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of a newly developed violence risk assessment and treatment planning measure for youth – the Violence Risk Scale-Youth Version (VRS-YV; Lewis, Wong, & Gordon, 2004). Composed of 4 static and 19 dynamic items, the VRS-YV is designed to assess violence risk, identify targets for treatment, and evaluate changes in risk as a function of treatment. Change is evaluated through a modified application of Prochaska et al.’s (1992) Transtheoretical Model of Change. Stages of change ratings made pre- and post-treatment are summed across dynamic items to yield change scores. The VRS-YV, Youth Level of Services/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI; Hoge & Andrews, 2003), and Psychopathy Checklist-Youth Version (PCL-YV; Forth, Kosson, & Hare, 2003) were each rated from file information on a sample of 133
young offenders (68 males and 65 females) who had received assessment and/or treatment services from a community mental health facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. All youths had been charged or convicted of a violent offense. This tended to be a rather high risk sample with a large proportion of Aboriginal youths.The VRS-YV demonstrated good internal consistency (VRS-YV total á = .91) and interrater reliability (VRS-YV total ICC = .90), while most of the individual items had acceptable inter-item (mean r = .32) and item total correlations (range r = .30 to .70). Male and female youths displayed few differences on the three risk measures or their respective scale components; however, Aboriginal youths scored significantly higher on these measures than non-Aboriginal youths, with the trend being particularly strong among males.The VRS-YV showed good convergence with the YLS/CMI and PCL-YV. The three measures significantly postdicted violent offending, that is, youth who were repeat violent
offenders tended to score significantly higher on each of the measures, than first time violent youth (i.e., those who had no previous history of violence). Similar postdiction was observed for general criminal offending. Recidivism data were available for roughly half of the total sample (n = 62) over a mean follow-up time of approximately 2 years. Preliminary evidence was obtained for the predictive accuracy of the VRS-YV with respect to violent and general recidivism. Predictive accuracy statistics were comparable to those obtained for the YLS/CMI and PCL-YV, with correlations generally being in the .40 to .50 range and Areas Under the Curve (AUCs) in the mid .70s to low .80s. There was also a significant relationship between VRS-YV risk level and both violent and general recidivism. Survival analyses further confirmed that the VRS-YV was able to differentiate those who were more likely to recidivate and more likely to do so more quickly.Change ratings were available for a small subsample of youth (n = 39), which were used to compute post-treatment dynamic ratings. Youths appeared to demonstrate some degree of change, indicating possible therapeutic progress after…

▼ Media stories of violent young offenders, while rare events, “signal” to the public that youth crime is on the rise and worse, that today’s youth are capable of horrific crimes. As a result, both the public and politicians call for change – legislation and the courts need to toughen up on youths. The present study, guided by penal populism and focal concerns theory, fills a gap in the literature by examining sentencing decisions of young offenders convicted of violent offences in Ontario, Canada. Three research questions were asked. First, drawing on penal populism is there evidence in Canada, particularly Ontario, of a penal populist turn? Are judges taking a more punitive stance in sentencing young offenders convicted of sexual assault and physical assault? Second, drawing on focal concerns theory, do sentencing decisions reflect an offender’s level of blameworthiness and the need for protection of the public? Can extralegal factors, such as age and gender, explain disparities in sentencing? Third, do the sentencing rationales provided by judges vary within and across offence type? To answer these questions, a sample of sentencing decisions was analyzed to uncover quantitative and qualitative trends. The findings provide mixed support for penal populism and limited support for focal concerns theory. One prominent finding is that the courts appear to take a more punitive stance towards physical assault offenders regardless of their rehabilitative prospects than the sexual assault offenders. Three explanations are proposed for this difference. First, it appears that judges believe that physical assault offenders are better rehabilitated with a custodial sentence, while rehabilitation for sexual assault offenders is best achieved through non-custodial sentences. Second, a disproportionate number of physical assaults were committed against strangers whereas sexual assaults were disproportionately committed against people known to the offender; the courts may view the former offenders as a greater threat to the community. Lastly, there may be a lag between legislative changes and changes in sentencing patterns, as a result of judicial inertia. Although this sample is not representative, there is evidence of increased use of custody within these cases that become precedents for future sentencing decisions. As a result, judicial precedence may, in the future, result in harsher sentences for young offenders convicted of physical assault.
