Annotation

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND ALCOHOL ABUSE IS CONSIDERED, AND A MILITARY PROGRAM FOR ALCOHOLICS IS DESCRIBED.

Abstract

A RESEARCH SOCIOLOGIST REVIEWS THE RESULTS OF STUDIES WHICH INDICATE THAT DRINKING IS NOT NECESSARILY A FACTOR IN DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR. THEN, THE DIRECTOR OF A MILITARY ALCOHOL ABUSE PREVENTION PROJECT DESCRIBES A 28-DAY RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR ALL AGE GROUPS WHICH USES ANABUSE AS A MEDICATION AND WHICH INCLUDES PHYSICAL TRAINING, COUNSELING, EDUCATION, ASSERTION AND DECISIONMAKING COURSES, AND RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE. POSTRESIDENTIAL TREATMENT INCLUDES SPOUSE AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS. AN IMPORTANT GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRUCTURED LIFESTYLES. THE AUDIOTAPE CASSETTE IS SUITABLE FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES. A TABLE OF CONTENTS IS INCLUDED, BUT OTHER SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS ARE NOT PROVIDED. FOR RELATED TAPES SEE NCJ 69273-75 AND 69277-85.
