Scenario: You are a human services professional tasked with making recommendations to a judge for a juvenile’s entire course of treatment. You can advise on the sanctions they should receive; the components of their correctional treatment; the programs, training, or institutions that should assist them; any alternatives or special conditions to consider; and terms for their aftercare and transition back into the community.
Write a 700-1,050-word narrative that outlines a correctional dispositional plan for a juvenile.
Choose 1 of the following juveniles to use as an example case study for this week’s assignment:
- From the University Library:
- Donovan from “Second Chance Kids”
- Rolon from “Second Chance Kids”
- Shawn from “Juvenile Justice”
- Jose from “Juvenile Justice”
- Manny from “Juvenile Justice”
- Marquese from “Juvenile Justice”
- Or any of the juveniles from the University Library in Week 3 court session videos
- From Juvenile Justice: Policies, Programs, and Practices:
- Gina, from the Ch. 11 Critical Thinking Exercises #3 (p. 312-313)
Note: If you choose an example with a known correctional plan, do not propose the same plan from the original case study. Make your own recommendations for a different process for the juvenile’s treatment.
In your recommended plan for the juvenile, ensure you:
- Summarize the outcome of the adjudication process and the disposition in this case.
- Describe the treatment of the juvenile in this situation.
- Explain the risk factors that need to be considered in the assessment of this juvenile.
- Explain how the combination of factors considered in this case were connected and whether they influenced the original outcome.
- List any additional information you would like to have before considering other correctional treatments for the juvenile.
- Recommend 2 alternative correctional strategies for this juvenile: 1 that includes a correctional program that exists in your state as well as 1 other potential option.
- Explain how you could monitor, measure, report, and support the juvenile’s progress through treatment.
- Justify your plan with evidence that supports your recommendations.
