▼ 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.

▼

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…

▼ 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 personÃ¢Â€Â™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. Advisors/Committee Members: WEBB, ROGER RT, Conti-Ramsden, Gina, Webb, Roger.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Chile, Love (advisor), Mansill, Douglas (advisor).

▼ 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.

▼ 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. Lykilhugtök: ungir kynferðisbrotamenn, tegund kynferðisbrota, búseta, einkenni afbrota

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

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…

▼ 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.

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… Advisors/Committee Members: Wong, Stephen C.

▼ The incidence and patterns of substance use problems among the young offenders admitted to the Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services (YFPS) in British Columbia, Vancouver Island was examined. The convergent validity of the psychometric measures, Adolescent Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI-A2, Miller, 1994) and Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT, National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1991), and the criterion-related validity of these two measures with respect to scores of the substance abuse disorder subscale of the Adolescent Psychopathology Scale - Short Form (APS-SF, Reynolds, 1998) were also examined. The data were collected from 68 volunteered youth between the age of 13 and 18 years old. The study involved three methods of data collection: interview, questionnaire, and file review. Approximately 90% of the youth had consumed alcohol and drugs at least once in their lives, and the mean age of alcohol and drug first consumption was 12 years. The majority of youth acknowledged that they continued using alcohol and drugs since their involvement with YFPS. Youth who received some type of treatment did not show a greater reduction in alcohol and drug usage at post-admission than youth who did not receive treatment. Although age was positively correlated with alcohol and drug consumption, gender, IQ and academic achievement were not related to any of the substance use subscales. The convergent validity of the POSIT Substance Use/Abuse scale (POSIT A), the SASSI-A2 Face Valid Alcohol (FVA) and the SASSI-A2 Face Valid Drugs (FVOD) was demonstrated with a highly significant relationship between the two measures (POSIT and SASSI-A2). The criterion-related validity of the POSIT A and the SASSI-A2 (FVA and FVOD) was demonstrated with each having highly significant relationships with the APS-SF Substance Abuse Disorder subscale (APS-SF SUB). The SASSI-A2 FVA and the POSIT A were significantly related to self-reported pre-admission alcohol usage. The SASSI-A2 FVOD also significantly related to self-reported pre-admission drug usage. These findings indicated that substance use among young offenders was substantial and not effectively treated. The POSIT and the SASSI-A2 were effective tools for identifying substance abuse and dependence problems among young offender clients of YFPS.

▼ Applications for funding for arts interventions in prisons need to show the intervention will be working towards reducing reoffending. Previous studies mainly focus on the rehabilitative results of the arts intervention in repairing deficiencies in offenders’ social skills. These deficiencies prevent offenders from making constructive social interactions and are proved sometimes to be characteristic of criminality. However, the aim of this investigation was to use a grounded theory methodology to deconstruct the link between arts and rehabilitation by engaging in a research study in a young offender’s institute (YOI). The findings from the pilot study revealed that the link between rehabilitation and the Arts emerged as its potential to enable the appropriation of new roles. Taking these findings into my literature review, I developed a core framework around rehabilitation, an intervention typology, the Arts and role theory. I took this framework into my main investigation in a YOI in South West England amongst young people involved in music and art courses. From later stages in my research design emerged the significance for young people of the use of autobiographical techniques, showing the potential for participants to gain emotional and cathartic release before moving to a consideration of their future. Further depth of understanding of this pedagogical strategy was gained through interviews conducted with those involved in another course using autobiographical techniques: the Write to Freedom course. The outcomes revealed the place of role in developing and affirming identity and the pedagogical influences which were necessary to enable rehabilitation. The findings add to understanding about pedagogical structures, which can help a young person to envision a new role in a future that embraces desistance. These findings have implications in other contexts where participants inhabit roles which prevent learning development. These techniques can change perception enabling participants to appropriate renovated roles which offer new direction.

▼ This dissertation focused on the topic of youth violence in two very different populations, young workers and youth offenders. Youth violence at the home, in school and in the community has been well documented in the literature but very little is known about the prevalence of and risk factors for victimization at the workplace in young workers. In chapter two, a retrospective cohort study was conducted using National Crime Victimization Survey data from 2008–2012. We calculated a rate of workplace violence victimization and compared those rates between occupations and demographic characteristics in young workers 16–24 years. Multilevel, weighted Poisson regression models were used to compare rates of workplace victimization across occupations and demographic characteristics. The rate of workplace violence victimization was 1.11 (95% CI: 0.95–1.27) incidents per 1,000 employed person-months. Young workers in retail sales occupations had a higher rate of workplace victimization than workers in health care occupations (RR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.26–1.03) but a lower rate of workplace victimization than workers in protective service occupations (RR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.34–3.77). Rates of workplace violence victimization differed significantly by age, income and workplace location. In contrast, the prevalence of and risk factors for juvenile offender are well-known. However, there still exist major gaps in determining the effectiveness of tertiary interventions, justice-based processes (i.e. formal appearance in court vs. informal agreement or meeting with court officer) and placement (e.g. detention centers, foster care, mental health institutions). In chapters three and four, the effectiveness of justice-based processes and placement on recidivism in young offenders 12–16.5 years were evaluated using data received from the Iowa Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning Agency (CJJP) from 2010–2013. Multivariable logistic regression was used to impute risk level scores, to calculate propensity scores and to measure associations between demographic or complaint characteristics and main exposures. A sensitivity analysis was conducted by comparing the associations between process type and recidivism in a sample matched on propensity scores to the original unmatched sample. Cox Proportional Hazards models were used to compare time to recidivism by process type or placement in matched and unmatched samples. In chapter three, out of 2,901 youth offenders, 41% recidivated over an 18-month period. Eighteen percent were formally processed while 82% received an informal agreement. Youth who received an informal agreement had a lower risk of reoffending at any time compared to youth who were formally processed in both the unmatched (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.76–1.13) and matched sample (HR= 0.86, 95% CI: 0.65–1.14). These estimates were not statistically significant. We observed an offense-specific association between processing and recidivism. Property (HR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.57–0.96) offenders who received an… Advisors/Committee Members: Ramirez, Marizen R. (supervisor).

▼ 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.

▼ In response to female youths’ increased visibility in the legal system, more attention has been paid to understanding girls’ pathways to justice system involvement, risk for re-offending, and rehabilitative needs. Widely-used risk assessment and case management tools based on the Risk Need Responsivity (RNR) framework are largely gender neutral. Gender-responsive scholars have long advocated for the importance of additional gender-specific factors in guiding the assessment and treatment of female justice-involved youth. The dissertation is comprised of two papers which examine the contribution of proposed gender-specific factors alongside well established RNR factors in the prediction of recidivism, and how service provision aimed at intervening with these factors impacts recidivism for both male and female justice-involved youth. Paper 1 explores the relationship between trauma, criminogenic needs and recidivism. I first sought to define the distinct constructs often referred to under the umbrella term ‘trauma’: PTSD symptomology, maltreatment, and childhood adversity. The relationships between these factors, well-established criminogenic needs, and recidivism were examined and compared in a matched sample of 50 female and 50 male justice-involved youth. Females were significantly more likely than males to have experienced multiple forms of maltreatment. Several maltreatment and childhood adversity factors were significantly and positively related to criminogenic needs. PTSD symptomology and childhood adversity were not significant predictors of recidivism; however, maltreatment was the strongest predictor of recidivism for both males and females in a model that included well established risk factors. Gender was not found to be moderating the relationship between maltreatment and recidivism. Implications of the findings for theory and practice are discussed. Paper 2 examines the contribution of both criminogenic needs and several additional proposed ‘female’ gender-specific factors to risk assessment and rehabilitative treatment. Female youth were more likely than male youth to have proposed ‘female’ gender-specific needs but these needs alone did not predict recidivism. Successfully matching services to youths’ criminogenic needs predicted reduced recidivism for both male and female youth. For youth who had ‘female’ gender-specific needs, successful matching of services to these needs also predicted reduced recidivism for both genders. Theoretical and practice implications of these results are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Peterson-Badali, Michele, Skilling, Tracey, Applied Psychology and Human Development.
