Abstract
THIS PROJECT PROVIDED AFTERCARE SUPERVISION FOR JUVENILES RELEASED FROM INSTITUTIONS AND PRE-PROBATION REFERRALS DIRECTLY FROM COURT FOR THOSE JUVENILES WHOSE HOME ENVIRONMENT WAS UNSUITABLE BUT WERE NOT IN NEED OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION.

THIS REPORT PRESENTS DEMOGRAPHIC AND ADJUDICATION PARAMETERS OF THE PROGRAM POPULATION THROUGH JUNE OF 1975. A FOLLOW-UP ANALYSIS OF POST-PROGRAM OUTCOMES FOR THE 1972 AND 1973 POPULATIONS IS ALSO PRESENTED; STATISTICS ARE PROVIDED ON THE NUMBER OF JUVENILES HAVING NO OFFENSES, MINOR OFFENSES, MAJOR OFFENSES, AND OFFENSES RESULTING IN INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
