Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate the use of police officers to supervise juvenile offenders sentenced to a curfew check program. Data were collected using records research, questionnaires, and interviews. The data provided some support for the contention that a program using police officers to supervise juvenile offenders does reduce criminal behavior, and that parents and officers have positive views of the program.
