Title: Intermediate Treatment and Juvenile Justice: Key Findings and Implications From a National Survey of Intermediate Treatment Policy and Practice
Author(s): A Bottoms; P Brown; B McWilliams; W McWilliams; M Nellis
Date Published: 1990
Annotation: Research by the University of Cambridge (UK) Institute of Criminology into intermediate treatment (IT) in England and Wales consisted of a national survey of intermediate policy and provision as well as an evaluative phase based on an intensive research fieldwork study in four local authority areas. The study sought to assess the efficacy of IT on recidivism, its impact on the courts' use of custody and residential care, and its impact on young offenders who receive it.
Abstract: This report concentrates on the first phase of the research and the interim policy recommendations which resulted. In the chapter covering IT policy in social service departments, the authors raise the issues of the justifiability of preventive IT work, the nomenclature of intermediate treatment, potential problems with broad-based approaches, and the diversity of local policy in the UK. The major subjects covered in the discussion of IT policy in the probation service examines the justifiability of split responsibility for older juveniles between probation and social services departments regarding supervision orders and IT. The section on the organization of IT focuses on management issues as well as the question of which agencies should undertake the effort of preventive IT.
