STUDY OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A COMMUNITY BASED CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM IN PORTLAND (OR) TO PROVIDE INTENSIVE PROBATION AND COUNSELING SERVICES TO JUVENILES WHO HAVE COMMITTED CERTAIN TARGET CRIMES.

Abstract

THIS PROJECT WAS UNDERTAKEN TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH OFFENDERS SERVICED BY CMCS (CASE MANAGEMENT CORRECTIONS SERVICES) COMMIT TARGET OFFENSES. THE TARGET OFFENSES ARE IDENTIFIED AS BURGLARY, ROBBERY, ASSAULT, HOMICIDE, RAPE, AND MENACING WITH A WEAPON WHEN SUCH CRIMES DO NOT INVOLVE PERSONS WELL KNOWN TO THE OFFENDER. DATA BASED ON IN-SERVICE AND POST-SERVICE OFFENSES COMMITTED BY CMCS CLIENTS IS COMPARED WITH SIMILAR DATA FOR JUVENILE OFFENDERS ROUTED THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM. THE CMCS PROGRAM WAS ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE TOTAL OFFENSE BEHAVIOR OF THEIR CLIENTS DURING AND AFTER SUPERVISION COMPARED TO REGULAR COURT CONTROL CLIENTS.
