JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS AND VOLUNTEER PROBATION SUPERVISORS WERE TRAINED IN TREATMENT METHODS BY CONSULTANTS FROM MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS.
Abstract
TWO EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS WERE CONDUCTED IN LAKE COUNTY, OHIO, AND IN THE TWELFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, MISSOURI, TO FAMILIARIZE COURT PERSONNEL WITH MENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES ON JUVENILE DELINQUENCY. IN THE LAKE COUNTY PROGRAM, MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTANTS ESTABLISHED GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS FOR JUVENILE PROBATIONERS AND TRAINED PROBATION OFFICERS ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT THEORY. IN THE MISSOURI PROGRAM, VOLUNTEER PROBATION COUNSELORS WERE ORIENTED TO THE JUVENILE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS WHICH THEY MIGHT ENCOUNTER.
