Abstract

Examines the impact of job preparation, short-term outdoor adventure, and family relationships on juvenile probationers' self-concept, loci of control, and perceptions of juvenile justice. Results indicate that the intervention did not achieve its intended effects, as measured by self-report scales. Outcomes relating to program design and evaluation are discussed. (GLR)
