The center uses a holistic approach in the treatment of\r\nyouth to identify the triggers for substance abuse and to investigate\r\nthe relationship between substance abuse and delinquent behavior. For\r\nthe facility assessment, various types of data from the Virginia\r\nDepartment of Juvenile Justice were gathered. Baseline data on each\r\njuvenile were obtained from the department's Reception and Diagnostic\r\nCenter and consisted of demographic information and I.Q. scores,\r\ncriminal history, and substance abuse history. Demographic variables\r\ninclude the youth's race, last grade placement, and with whom the\r\nyouth lived. Youths' scores on standardized tests were also compiled,\r\nincluding SASSI, verbal I.Q., performance I.Q., and full-scale\r\nI.Q. scores. Criminal histories covered whether the committing offense\r\nwas a felony or misdemeanor, the type of committing offense, the total\r\nnumber of committing offenses, whether a prior offense was a felony or\r\na misdemeanor, the type of prior offense, the total number of prior\r\noffenses, the age at first criminal adjudication, age at commitment,\r\nand degree of delinquency. Alcohol and drug use data focused on the\r\nage at which alcohol was first used, number of times alcohol was used\r\nin the past year, age at which marijuana was first used, number of\r\ntimes marijuana was used in the past month, and whether the youth ever\r\nused cocaine, crack, inhalants, speed, depressants, hallucinogens, or\r\nother drugs. Another source of information was the youths' parole\r\nofficers, who provided data on youths' criminal offending status and\r\nsubstance abuse at three, six, and twelve months after release from\r\nthe center. Data obtained from parole officers assessing youths'\r\nimprovement after leaving the center include whether they were\r\nrearrested, the type of offense if rearrested, the total number of\r\noffenses rearrested for, disposition, most serious offense overall,\r\nand youths' overall drug use.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02730.v1", "title": "Assessment of a Single-Purpose Substance Abuse Facility for Committed Juvenile Offenders in Virginia, 1995-1997  "}], "identifier": "3182", "issued": "2000-02-01T00:00:00", "keyword": ["correctional facilities", "criminal histories", "delinquent behavior", "disposition (legal)", "drug law offenses", "juvenile offenders", "substance abuse", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment facilities", "treatment outcomes"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Assessment of a Single-Purpose Substance Abuse Facility for Committed Juvenile Offenders in Virginia, 1995-1997  "}
