Abstract
The process of resocialization is important to ensure that juveniles at the rehabilitation institution changed as expected by the community. But the process of resocialization will not completely successful if there are barriers. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify barriers that derange the successful resocialization process of juveniles. The data were obtained through an in-depth interview session with the respondent in the study and observation. Through purposive sampling, the twenty-seven staff of a correctional institution and twenty-three juveniles were selected to participate as respondents in this study. This study revealed that there were barriers that deranged the resocialization process such as juveniles factor (juvenile behavior; not interested in learning, religion classes, activities, programs), rehabilitation institution’s factor (inadequate facilities, inadequate finance), juvenile family’s factor (socioeconomic of the family, lack of parents’ responsibility) and society factor (negative perception of society). In conclusion, these findings prove that there are obstacles in order to resocialize juveniles from the Malaysian context. If these obstacles are not well addressed, it will give a negative impact not only on juveniles but also on Malaysia.
