The goal for this week is to examine the social control of youth by exploring the history of youth social control. This history will provide context for understanding the development of juvenile corrections/interventions. This history also contains some important lessons, including cautionary tales, about how we might respond to youths’ problem behaviors today.

Objectives

Upon completion of this week’s lesson, you should be able to:
Explain how the development of the concept of childhood contributed to the development of separate correctional institutions for children.
Describe the factors that contributed to the social control of children in Colonial villages and towns.
Describe the social context that gave rise to the first correctional programs for youths in the U.S.
Describe the development and operation of the houses of refuge, placing out, probation, and training/industrial/reform schools.
Assess common problems that confronted early correctional responses to youths
Explain how juvenile corrections has both harmed and helped youth, families, and communities.

Are Sexual Predators Genetically Programmed?
The following hypothetical is based on an actual case and court proceeding although some of the details have been changed.
A federal district court judge recently allowed an individual convicted of child sexual assault and possessing child pornography to spend the holidays with his family before beginning to serve a prison term.
Prosecutors had argued that the offender was a danger to the children of the community and asked for his immediate confinement. The offender told the judge he had been sexually abused as a child, and that this was the reason for his transgressions. He also indicated that he had been receiving treatment for his sexual behavior and now understood why he had behaved as he did.
The judge told the offender that the past victimization was not the explanation for his crimes; rather, he was “genetically programmed” to prefer children. The judge also indicated that he had “no faith in psychiatrists and their theories”.
Respond to the comments made by the judge, basing your responses on concepts and research covered in this chapter.
Be sure to use standard English grammar and spelling. Your response should be between 200 and 300 words.

Im applying for work as a probation officer and would kindly like you to answer these four questions and relate them in detail towards my CV and work experience when answering each question In each of the following four areas, please explain What the situation was – this should be a brief summary of the context and situation so that we know what the issue was and where you fitted in to it. What you did – explain not only what you did but also why you made the decisions you made and took the actions you took. Who else was involved – this might be people who gave you advice or instruction, people you got to help you or it could be others who made the situation more difficult. One of the key things we want to know is what YOU did; what decisions YOU made and what actions YOU took. Make sure that your answer does not only talk about the team or only refer to ‘we’ – your personal input must be clear. What the outcome was – tell us what happened as a result of your involvement. In Probation work we deal with difficult situations and we don’t always get the results we want, so don’t feel you have to choose examples where everything turned out perfectly, though we do want to see where your involvement has had some positive impact. These desсrіptions don’t have to come from work situations, they might relate to voluntary work, your time in education or amongst your family, social group or community. Make sure that your desсrіption is clear and keep it brief; no more than 250 words for each of the four answers. When you have written a draft of your answer, read it back and ask yourself; – Is it clear what MY role in it was? – Is it clear WHY I did what I did? – Have I demonstrated my skills and attitudes to the assessors? Communicating clearly is an essential skill for Probation Officers so you will be marked for how well you communicate your answers as well as for the content of them.-
