Description
Juvenile Incarceration: Implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions to Reduce Recidivism
The presentation, “Juvenile Incarceration: Implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions to Reduce Recidivism” will examine how implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into juvenile programs can reduce juvenile recidivism, ultimately leading to a successful future in the community. Aftercare implementation, within facilities and once released, can greatly influence a juvenile’s chance of remaining a positive asset within their community. The systematic literature review describes the gaps in literature surrounding CBT implementation within juvenile facilities and their effectiveness.
The conceptual paper covers four theoretical frameworks directly relating how the incorporation of these theories can impact the effectiveness of CBT interventions. The practice application paper will provide a case study utilizing the CBT intervention and how this implementation positively influenced a juveniles’ life once released. With this societal issue in mind, the need to focus on juveniles’ well-being and treatment within juvenile detention can raise awareness as well as change policies within the state of West Virginia.
