“…The literature on process within TCHs is concentrated around three discrete but overlapping themes: how TCHs operate overall (Rivard, Bloom, McCorkle and Abramovitz, 2005;Scott and Lorenc, 2007); individual organisational aspects, such as the quality of the therapeutic provision (Egelund and Jakobsen, 2009;Pavkov, Negash, Lourie and Hug, 2010); and the experience of stakeholders, chief among whom are staff (Davidson-Arad, Dekel and Wozner, 2004;Nickerson, Brooks, Colby, Rickert and Salamone, 2006), family members (Demmitt and Joanning, 1998;Springer and Stahmann, 1998) and the children themselves (Grupper and Mero-Jaffe, 2008). …”

Children who have been severely maltreated may be placed in therapeutic children's homes (also known as residential treatment centres) in order that their often acute emotional and behavioural needs can be addressed. There is little data on process within these settings, especially outside the US. This article contains findings from interviews carried out with 16 young adults who had been placed in a therapeutic children's home in England. These former residents were asked for their views concerning the care they had received. The respondents were, in general, positive about their experiences, particularly in terms of their relationships with staff, life story work, leisure activities and the contact they had with staff after leaving the homes. Some of them were also happy with their experiences in relation to therapy, school, friendships and preparations for leaving the placement but others were less contented in these respects. The evidence from this research is that this highly disadvantaged group of children can be provided with a good quality of care within therapeutic children's homes.

“…Parents who more openly refuse to collaborate, and often transfer their feelings of guilt, fear and pain to the child and thus damage the child. The phenomenon of "superficial participation" mentioned by the youth care professionals should perhaps not be condemned, but rather explored further (Grupper & Jaffe, 2008). Asen (2007) describes some experiences by the parents that reveal some of the background for such "superficial participation".…”

The paradigm of residential child care, providing education and care for children outside the family is changing worldwide. The emphasis is shifting from a narrow child-focused approach to a more child-and-family centred one, foregrounding the quality of collaboration between parents and everyone involved in the child's care. Several Slovenian studies draw attention to the difficulties of maintaining a collaborative partnership with parents that is based on trust and contact. We introduce the findings of a qualitative research study that included 32 individuals with children in different residential care homes throughout Slovenia. The aim of the study was to analyze the experiences and needs of the parents that could contribute to a better collaboration with the care professionals. The findings show that the parents emphasized the following as important for good collaboration: communication and dialogue, being informed, included and accepted as an important part of the team.

“…Research now suggests that parental involvement is a major factor in the treatment of adolescents residing in residential placements (Barth 2005;Grupper and Mero-Jaffe 2008). Many times, the parents do not see the connection between their interactions with their child and the child's behaviors.…”

OverviewThis essay provides a critical examination of the definitions and dynamics of youth gangs. Particular attention is given to the identification of gangs (in the context of a wide spectrum of youth group formations) and the nature of gang membership (given that young people engage and affiliate with groups in variable ways). The essay also discusses the nature of gangrelated behaviour, outlines 9 propositions regarding the character and key features of gangs, and discusses the social construction of gangs as a problem.
