Abstract

Background and attitude data gathered as part of a comprehensive study of the Highfields program of treatment of juvenile offenders were used to design a prediction table. The table is used on a sample of boys from Highfields and a matched sample drawn from a typical juvenile institution. The comparison of the samples shows that Highfields has a higher success rate at lower financial cost.
