STUDY SEES REHABILITATIVE CHANGE AMONG JUVENILE OFFENDERS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CAMP MILIEU AND COMPLIMENTARY FACTORS IN THE MAKE-UP OF THE WARDS.

Abstract

IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT ALTHOUGH FORMAL BETWEEN-CAMP DIFFERENCES IN PROGRAM ORIENTATION ARE RELATED TO THE IN-CAMP ADJUSTMENT AND ATTITUDE OF WARDS, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE ASSUMPTION THAT SUCH DIFFERENCES INFLUENCE THE POST-RELEASE REHABILITATION OF WARDS.
