The report describes and discusses the legal procedures |
|
which Massachusetts employs in disposing of the cases of |
|
apprehended juvenile offenders, as well as the |
|
residential and community programs which normally deal |
|
with this group. The legal procedures and treatment |
|
programs are viewed as social responses to behavior |
|
socially defined as deviant. Delinquent behavior per se |
|
and its causes are not a major focus. Three sections |
|
comprise the report: (1) a description of the pattern of |
|
arrest and disposition of all juvenile offenders in |
|
Massachusetts in 1967, and a discussion of the roles |
|
played by the police and courts; (2) a description of the |
|
residential programs of the newly reorganized Department |
|
of Youth Services and a consideration of its role; and |
|
(3) a description of"community treatment" services, with |
|
special emphasis on the role of the probation officer. In |
|
addition, some discussion is devoted to innovative |
|
programs in other states and to proposals for preventive |
|
programs in Massachusetts. (TL) |
