Games: A Treatment Vehicle for Delinquent Youths.
Serok, Shraga; Blum, Arthur
Crime and Delinquency, v25 n3 p358-63 Jul 1979
Delinquents' patterns of play may be used as the context for teaching youths to adapt to societal demands. Games are uniquely self-reinforcing. The game preferences and behavior of delinquents are seen to differ from those of nondelinquents and may be used as the focus of a planned program of treatment. (Author)
