Strengthening Family Members of Incarcerated Youth: A Productive Role for Extension
Brandon, Dorothy P.; Wilson, Constance; Carter, Jannie; Johnson, LaKeisha
Journal of Extension, v52 n3 3RIB5 Article 3RIB5 Jun 2014
The challenge to provide incarcerated youth the skills needed to succeed and avoid recidivism has prompted the use of family-systems approaches in juvenile detention centers. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in northern Alabama to determine the impact of a conflict resolution workshop on the family members of incarcerated youth. Results indicated a significant difference in participants' knowledge and anticipated behavior after attending the workshop. It is important to note that this research further supports the use of family-systems approaches in juvenile detention centers.
