Locate a State Department of Correction website and research the number of juveniles who are in the department. (for this im in southwest Kansas so look at the Finney County Juvenile detention center)
– What services are available to them to assist in the rehabilitation process? Educational services? Counseling? Drug rehabilitation? Vocational skills training? As part of this assignment, assess whether or not your state’s handling of juvenile delinquents is effective (you may want to look at recidivism rate). You will also need to look at the historical data to see if it has always been rehabilitation or punitive and when the shift began to occur.
(FOR THIS I HAVE MY INTERVIEWS BOOKED FOR THE NEXT DAY OR 2 SO I WILL GET TGA INFO TO YOU ASAP)
– please start on the essay and i will get this part of the assignment to you ASAP
In addition to your research, you must conduct an in-person or over the phone interview with at least two different individuals from your State Department of Corrections (when you contact them, explain who you are and why you are calling and that you are required to interview at least two individuals). During your interview inquire about the risk factors that lead to juvenile crime and if their programs are successful with juvenile delinquency.
– Write a five-to-six-page paper double spaced over your research and interviews. You must have a work cited page which does not include your five to six pages.
