Scared Straight--California Style: Evaluation of the San Quentin Squires Program.

Lewis, Roy V.

Criminal Justice and Behavior, v10 n2 p209-26 Jun 1983

Serious delinquent youth who attended a moderately confrontive juvenile awareness program at San Quentin Prison showed an improvement in attitudes. Behaviorally, however, the program did not reduce delinquency overall. The only finding in favor of experimentals (N=53) showed those to be arrest-free longer than controls (N=55) in the study.
