“…Consistent with the theoretical perspective, job preparation interventions are meant to ready youths to take full advantage of work opportunities and, in so doing, to enhance their ties to this institution. Because literature attests to the value of these interventions (Rulo and Zemel, 1979; U. S. Department of Justice, 1979), one component of Project Explore consisted of 4 two-hour job preparation workshops for youths, held over a period of two weeks.…”

This study investigated whether expanding juvenile court services to include job preparation, outdoor experiential, and family skill building components would significantly reduce the offense activities of probationers in comparison to the effects of traditional probation supervision. The intervention sought to curtail illegal activities by enhancing integration to conventional social institutions as well as by transforming the negative influence of the delinquent peer group. Client attendance and participation were monitored throughout the project. Self-rcported delinquency and official offense data derived from a two-factor experimental pretest-posttest design indicated that the intervention failed to yield the desired effects over an 18 month follow-up period. The only significant result was the finding that select experimental subjecls with extensive backgrounds of crime displayed fewer offenses during the

This article examines the impact of job preparation, short-term outdoor adventure, and family relationships programming on juvenile probationers' self-concepts, loci of control (internal versus external), and perceptions of juvenile justice. Traditional probation services constitute the standard for comparison. After establishing the rationale for selection of the three dependent variables and describing how the intervention addressed these variables, the authors present data derived from a two-factor experimental pretest-posttest design. Results indicate that the intervention did not achieve its intended effects, as measured by self-report scales. This outcome is discussed in relation to program design and evaluation.
