Annotation

A SURVEY OF THE EXTENT, CONTENT, AND IMPORTANCE OF STAFF IN-SERVICE TRAINING WITHIN A REHABILITATION AND CUSTODIAL AGENCY FOR JUVENILE DELINQUENTS.

Abstract

THIS SURVEY WAS DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A MAXIMUM OF INFORMATION WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IN ADDITION TO SURVEYING ALL AVAILABLE WRITTEN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE YOUTH COMMISSION, INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP OF AGENCY STAFF HAVING VARYING LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. THE FOCUS OF THE INTERVIEWS WAS ON STAFF TRAINING ACTIVITIES. SINCE STAFF TRAINING CANNOT BE REALISTICALLY SEPARATED FROM OVERALL AGENCY PROGRAMMING, CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THE LATTER.
