SURVEY OF THE VIEWS OF INSTITUTIONAL PERSONNEL AND INMATES OF THE DADERO TREATMENT HOME NEAR STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, ON AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM CONDUCTED FROM NOVEMBER 1972 TO AUGUST 1973.
Abstract
THE DADERO TREATMENT HOME IS OPERATED BY SKYDDSVARNET, A PRIVATELY-RUN SWEDISH WELFARE ORGANIZATION. DURING THE PERIOD IN QUESTION, DADERO AIMED AT FUNCTIONING AS A MODIFIED THERAPEUTIC SOCIETY FOR YOUNG OFFENDERS UNDER SUPERVISION. THE PURPOSE WAS TO ASSIST THE YOUNG OFFENDERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THEIR ADJUSTMENT TO SOCIETY. BOTH THE PERSONNEL AND THE INMATES APPROVED THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM BUT THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DISAGREEMENT AMONG MEMBERS OF BOTH GROUPS IN REGARD TO THE METHODS USED. --IN SWEDISH
