Abstract
Abstract Recently, comprehensive community‐based youth work experience programs have shown promise as treatment and supervision alternatives for juvenile offenders. While a growing body of research suggests that employment in traditional youth jobs may have harmful impacts, this paper suggests that “designed work” interventions may provide a more positive socialization experience for young offenders while accomplishing needed productive work in local communities. Challenges to implementing these approaches are outlined, and the “designed work” strategy is contrasted with both intensive probation and residential and quasi‐residential alternatives based on its viability and public appeal.
