Abstract
Long-term placement could be stressful for youth, who may exhibit problem behaviors such as non-compliance in facilities. This study demonstrates that the consistent involvement of staff in modifying the youths’ behaviors, through a reward system featuring plus points and minus points as responses to particular behaviors, significantly influenced the likelihood of readmission. Furthermore, the research revealed that post-release contact with staff lowered the risk of readmission for non-student youths, highlighting the supportive staff-youth relationships in mitigating recidivism, particularly for the majority of youths detached from educational systems. These findings emphasize the importance of reinforcement and supportive interactions within youth corrections.
