THE YOUTH OUTREACH PROJECT EMPLOYED WORKERS TO RENDER PERSONAL ASSISTANCE IN CONTROLLING DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR AND ALLEVIATING THE CAUSAL FACTORS FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF SPECIALIZED SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTLY BY THE PROJECT OR INDIRECTLY BY OTHER COMMUNITY YOUTH-SERVING AGENCIES. YOUTH OUTREACH SERVICES WERE TO ASSIST YOUTH IN BEHAVING IN A MORE CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER, ENABLING THEM TO REMAIN IN SCHOOL OR OBTAIN GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. EVALUATION WAS HAMPERED BY INACCURATE REPORTING AND USE OF FORMS BY WORKERS. RESULTS REVEALED THAT PROJECT CLIENTS SHOWED AN ARREST RATE OF 16 PERCENT AND A MAXIMUM RECIDIVISM RATE OF 25 PERCENT. THE EVALUATORS FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE SERVICES DELIVERY BY THE OUTREACH WORKERS.
