handle is hein.journals/cjccj18 and id is 919 raw text is: Differential Treatment of Juveniles on Probation: An Evaluative Study* LAWRENCE J. BARKWELL PROBATION OFFICER FDEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND Eiri~ze SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT MINISTRY OF CORRECTIVE AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES WINNIPEG, MANITOBA Les recherches rapport~es jusqu'a maintenant indiquent que les jeunes dlinquants trait6s selon les prescriptions du Syst~me de Classi- fication de la maturit6 interpersonnelle ont de meilleurs r6sultats en probation. Quarante d61inquants ont 6t6 r6partis au hasard entre trois approches de traitement: les prescriptions du Syst~me de classi- fication de ]a maturit6 interpersonnelle, les m6thodes traditionnelles du Service de probation et une surveillance minimale. Les donn6es indiquent clairement que le premier groupe a d6montr6 un progr~s consid6rable en comparaison aux autres groupes; ceci sur les plans du concept de soi, de la r6duction des actes d6linquants et de la stabilit6 du travail ou A l'6cole. Les recherches entreprises jusqu'ici qui indiquent un progr&s rehauss6 chez les d6linquants juv6niles trait6s par les m6thodes pr6conis6es par le Syst~me de Classification de Maturit6 Interpersonnelle (I-Level) furent amplifi6es dans cette 6tude. Quarante-huit d6linquants se sont vus traitds soit par les m6thodes indiqu6es par le Systbme I-Level, soit par les m6thodes traditionnelles du Service de Probation, ou, finalement, par une surveillance minime. Les donn6es indiquent clairemen-t que le pre- mier groupe a montr6 un progr6s consid6rable en comparaison aux autres groupes d6crits ci-haut en ce qui a trait au concept de soi, ]a r6duction d'actes d61inquents, et en stabilit6 scholastique et d'emploi. Previous findings that juvenile delinquents treated according to the Interpersonal Maturity Level Classification System (I-Level) show enhanced probation outcome were extended in the present study. Forty- eight juvenile probationers were randomly assigned to I-Level treatment, alternate treatment and a surveillance treatment group. The data suggested that the first group outperformed the other two groups on the dependent measures of increased self-concept, delinquency reduction, and stability in school or work attendance. * This research was done while the author was on educational leave from the Province of Manitoba Probation Service. Mr. G. Pritchard of the Probation Directorate made substantial contributions to both the planning and completion of the project.
