| Abstract | This qualitative study conducted in urban Miami, Florida, explored the essence of juvenile delinquency and recidivism: its causes, its relations to communities, the roles of families, and the myriad roles of residential treatment programs at rehabilitating young offenders. Data were collected from nine young adult participants who had satisfied their court-ordered sanctions in different residential facilities. Data were analyzed to discover themes, patterns, or clusters of meanings. Six themes emerged. These included varying perspectives, overcoming patterns of delinquent behaviors, challenges of remaining focused and goal-oriented, suggestions for young offenders, recommendations for change to correctional leaders, and accounts of their successes and failures. The following assumption was reported by participants: young offenders who have supportive familial relationships, who function as productive citizens within their communities, and who make satisfactory performance in school, may experience recidivism less frequently than those who exhibit opposite characteristics. Findings also suggested that poverty, peer relations, school, family life, self-imposed limitations, and community dynamics were linked to juvenile offending. Implications are included for lawmakers, criminologists, and juvenile justice administrators as measures for reducing juvenile delinquency and recidivism. The following are appended: (1) Participant Demographic and Delinquent History; and (2) Interview. (Author). |
