“…Outcome evaluation studies of PPC and related programs have been conducted in schools~public and alternative!, juvenile correctional facilities or detention centers, private residential facilities, and community group homes. Many of these studies have found guided mutual help programs to be effective in improving self-concept or self-esteem~Atwood & Osgood, 1987;Martin & Osgood, 1987;Vorrath & Brendtro, 1985;Wasmund, 1988!. However, the trustworthiness of the results of numerous studies generally was undermined by serious methodological flaws, such as the absence of a control group.…”

“…Those interventions that have shown positive results tend to be group oriented and aim to cultivate a group`climate for change' (Vorrath and Brendtro, 1985). Research has also shown that these programmes make young oenders more amenable to other treatment programmes (Atwood and Osgood, 1987;Gibbs, 1996;Martin and Osgood, 1987;Osgood et al, 1985;Wasmund, 1987).…”

This study considers the relationship between social competence, sociomoral reasoning, and self‐reported delinquency in a sample of convicted young offenders. Correlations across these factors showed that social competence was significantly related to delinquency. This finding was corroborated by multiple regression, which showed that social competence was the most significant predictor of self‐reported delinquency. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Researchers have shown that youth are more motivated to behave appropriately when other youth participate in decisionmaking about the intervention. They also gain a greater sense of self-worth when they are able to help themselves and others (Brendtro and Ness, 1983;Ferrara, 1992;Vorrath and Brendtro, 1984;Wasmund, 1988).…”

This Bulletin is part of OJJDP's Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants (JAIBG) Best Practices Series. The basic premise underlying the JAIBG program, initially funded in fiscal year 1998, is that young people who violate the law need to be held accountable for their offenses if society is to improve the quality of life in the Nation's communities. Holding a juvenile offender "accountable" in the juvenile justice system means that once the juvenile is determined to have committed law-violating behavior, by admission or adjudication, he or she is held responsible for the act through consequences or sanctions, imposed pursuant to law, that are proportionate to the offense. Consequences or sanctions that are applied swiftly, surely, and consistently, and are graduated to provide appropriate and effective responses to varying levels of offense seriousness and offender chronicity, work best in preventing, controlling, and reducing further law violations. In an effort to help States and units of local government develop programs in the 12 purpose areas established for JAIBG funding, Bulletins in this series are designed to present the most up-to-date knowledge to juvenile justice policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about programs and approaches that From the Administrator "If you build it, they will come" appears to ring true when it comes to the construction of new or expanded juvenile detention facilities. Before embarking on such a costly course of action, however, a community should carefully assess its facility needs and ensure that it is effectively using alternatives to secure confinement when appropriate.
