| Abstract | Juvenile Assessment Centers (JAC) can provide intervention through assessment of first-time misdemeanor offenders so that they do not become more involved in the juvenile justice system. In this practicum study, offenders are placed in a nonjudicial diversion and given a chance to repay the victim for the misdeed committed. In phase one of the program, case management supervisors and staff meet with the parents/guardians of youths to stress the importance of providing specific service recommendations. In phase two, they work with the families of the youths, who are randomly assigned to receive follow-up telephone support services for a 2-week period to answer questions and aid in accessing services. A comparison of 24 youths in a control group to 25 youths in an intervention group revealed that fewer parents/guardians in the control group than the intervention group: (1) recalled recommendations made by the case manager; (2) contacted the service agencies recommended; (3) applied for services to the recommended agencies; or (4) received the recommended services. These findings highlight the importance of having a follow-up, support service added to the case management unit to help connect youths and their families with services. Ten appendices, comprising over half the document, include various forms, assessment instruments, and lists of service providers. Contains 28 references. (KW) |
