“…Few studies provide information on treatment procedures, therapist characteristics, and costs to the trainer and parent. Likewise, assessment of the generalization and maintenance of treatment effects, of family variables that may affect treatment outcome, and of contiguous covariation in parents' and children's behavior is not often carried out (Dembo, Sweitzer, & Lauritzen, 1985;Kramer, 1990;Medway, 1989).…”

“…More recently, Smith and Pugh (1996) reviewing UK initiatives in this area refer to two other American reviews (Dembo, Sweitzer and Lauritzen 1985;Medway, 1989) that came to similar conclusions. With regard to UK research, Smith and Pugh point to the considerable diversity of goals and methods.…”

Recent theories advocating ecological and developmental perspectives on child abuse and neglect are summarized. Reviews of community prevention programmes underline the importance of focusing on processes and viewing the developing child and their family in a broad context. The conclusions of the reviews are reported. Although the reviews suggest that some programmes to prevent physical and sexual abuse and bullying are at least to some degree effective, their impact has been reduced by a failure to encompass adequately the various influences that operate across difference domains of the child's life at different stages of their development. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Generally, in order to achieve maximum benefit from programmes, it is necessary to combine a cognitive component, the teaching of behavioural techniques, with a therapeutic approach which offers warmth and understanding. Programmes which offer only the latter, while they may result in greater self awareness and enhanced self esteem, have been found not to result in change in the interaction between parent and child, and consequently in the child's behaviour (Medway 1989). Conversely, programmes which offer only instruction in behavioural techniques do not provide the parent with sufficient self awareness or understanding to be able to implement them effectively.…”

“…The degree to which the power of the parent is enhanced, versus the democratic induction of the young person, is the principal difference in these three approaches. Evaluations of programmes using the models have shown that behavioural and social learning training generally has the greatest impact in changing young people's behaviour (Forehand and Atkeson 1977;Medway 1989). The other two approaches appear to be more effective in changing parental feelings and attitudes, improving parent-child communication, enhancing family cohesion and reducing conflict (Fine and Henry 1989;Pinsker and Geoffrey 1981).…”

The introduction of a parenting order is one of a range of new initiatives contained in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Recognising the need for a review of research and practice in this field, the Youth Justice Board commissioned a study in early 1999 to identify key criteria for success in parenting education and support in the youth justice context. The present article summarises the conclusions of that report, outlining major research findings and pointing up areas where further work is needed. The parenting order is the subject of debate in parenting and criminal justice circles, with some practitioners considering its hybrid nature, combining compulsion with a supportive approach, as inappropriate. Others emphasise its positive effect in enhancing interest in parent support services. Whilst it is still too early to be clear about the impact of the parenting order, there is no doubt that its introduction has already led to the development of many new projects aimed at supporting parents of adolescent offenders. This article highlights the challenges posed by this exciting and controversial new area of work in the youth justice field.
