Abstract

The California Youth Authority is experimenting with an intensive treatment-control program in the community as a sub stitute for institutionalization of delinquents committed by the juvenile courts of two urban areas. Youths from an eligible pool (excluding the 25 per cent who are a threat to community safety) are assigned at random either to a community treatment group or to an institutionalized group; thus we can compare the relative effectiveness of the two programs in improving parole success and community adjustment of various types of delinquents.
