Document Summary
The success and failure of scared straight: a reassessment of juvenile. In the international journal of interdisciplinary social sciences, royster (2012) analyzes the success and failures of scared straight programs. The article discusses monetary aspects as far as how much the youth criminal deterrent programs cost, and how effective they really are. Showing the benefits of the programs will not only give credibility to my literature review, but it will also accurately depict the effects of the program. Petrosino, a. , turpin-petrosino, c. , & finckenauer, j. o. (2000). Lessons from experiments of programs such as scared straight. In crime and delinquency, petrosino, turpin, finckenauer, j. o (2000) assess mainly the harmful effects that scared straight programs can have on the mentality of young people. The article adds to my literature review in the sense that despite the millions of dollars of public funds that are invested, few out-come evaluations and experiments seem to be conducted (p. 355).
