Youth Offending Service

Without offending, how do you ask ur boyfriend to cut his really long toenails?

No offense dear, cut those nails.

What is the difference between juvenile justice and criminal Justice?

Juvenile justice deals with youths, commonly for status offenses and drug charges. Typically the Department (here on out called DJJ) has multiple levels of care: group homes, day treatment, secure facilities, community placement, and even therapeutic foster care. Their main goal is based upon rehabilitation/treatment of the youthful offender. They believe that since the child is developing, that if the criminal behavior is caught and treated early enough, they are able to reduce the risk of re-offending (recidivism). I personally, and professionally don't believe that many institutions are successful at this. Many facilities only hires bachelor level "counselors" (here on out called youth service worker), in which have little/no experience utilizing therapeutic approaches. Many of which don't even have ANY academic training in psychopathology or counseling (many are in fact criminology, sociology, or criminal justice degree holders). Before I get on my soap box, I will continue on to criminal justice.

Criminal justice is the application of law. It is typically seen as for adult corrections. Their focus is on punishment. I personally do not agree with this, but that is how it is. While adult correctional facilities do employ psychologists, counselors or other therapists, there is minimal if any treatment programs in these institutions and typically if there is any, they are for chemical dependency (which is good).

I find it important (or at least funny) to not that... DJJ employs minimal licensed mental health professionals (counselors, psychologists, or clinical social workers) on a full time basis. Most of the licensed individuals are contracted (they have private practices or work at an community agency).. and their focus is on TREATMENT. While most adult facilities employs at least a few licensed individuals, but their focus is on punishment...

Is there a big generational gap dividing the youth (in your country) and their elders?

YesI live in canada in a large town (18,500 people) north of the city of Toronto. I am writing this as a youth. Our town is known as a retirement hotspot where rich people bring there money from Toronto and enjoy there golden years. Even though our area is full of million dollar cottages the full time residence are often lower class because most employment in the area is seasonal and in the service sector. The generation gap is the kids from a ruff upbringing offending and scaring the seniors who lived there life in the middle or upper class.The generation gap is one of intolerance. The youth refuse to learn about and be nice to the seniors because they feel that there hometown is being invaded by these old bags that drive slow and make us late getting to school and our summer jobs. The seniors think we are all volger idiots and that we are scary. We have no interest in learning about them and they have no want to learn and live with us. I am not sure if this was what you were looking for but here you go

Why are youth nowadays so much interested to join the defence forces?

I do not know if the youth is so much interested in joining the defence forces. But,if its true then the reasons could be :-Entry into NDA is at relatively early age,after 10+2. No other Class 1 service offers that.The entry into IMA or OTA requires simple Graduation with no specialisation. No other service makes you a Class 1 officer,after Graduation.The pay, allowances and promotion prospects ,in the Armed Forces are relatively very good.Armed Forces offer a lifelong pension,after 20 yrs service.It offers adventure, respect and exciting career.The entry system or the selection into the Armed Forces is efficient, transparent and honest. It does not require recommendations, influence or bribe. Youth from every strata of Society can hope to get entry,provided he is fit.

NOW the person who put the question might like to answer the same question

Why do new workers often try so hard to prove themselves at work to the point of offending the feelings of the very people they wish to impress?

Simply put, new workers are strangers in a strange world and need to find a place where they belong in the system.  Many wind up over-functioning as a route to being considered special and worthy in the eyes of peers and supervisors.  The wise newcomer relies on peers for guidance and gives them a sense of their own worth in the process.  The foolish newcomer blasts in with all guns blazing trying to appear important and valuable.  This sort of thing happens most often in cases where the newcomer was in a higher position in former job or has only recently entered the job market and has no idea how to behave as a first-time employee.  I've recently seen a lot of this with young men and women just released from military service.  Their relative youth gives coworkers and supervisors the sense that they are "just kids" and they're treated accordingly, but they have come from positions of power where they may have been in charge (as in the case of a close friend of mine) of whole platoons with all the responsibility and craziness that that can bring to a person in their teens or early twenties.  The cognitive dissonance is more than they can tolerate, and they come across as very much the odd man out.   In business, it's the wise manager who watches the interactions surrounding a newcomer and does some heavy-duty mentoring to keep productivity-destroying friction to a minimum.  One of the best plans I've seen is that employed by the company Netflix.  Applicants there are interviewed not just by HR people who are not directly involved in the daily operations of the company, but also by someone at each level along the way both above and below where the new hire would be expected to land.  All have to agree that this is a person who would fit well.  As a result, there is a lower level of friction and resulting lower turnover of employees.

What are Christian parents looking for in a church youth program?

As the parent of three and a veteran youth pastor, I can speak to this question of what parents want in a youth group.  Parents are concerned first about 1. Safety- Are my children emotionally and physically safe here? Is the teaching orthodox and grace-filled? Are there harmful influences in the leadership or the group? Are these the kind of kids I want mine to be friends with? Are students supervised? Will my child be embarrassed at the hand of the leaders or other students?2. Purpose: Does the group seem purposeful?  Parents want all sorts of things: outreach, bible teaching, service projects, missions, good friendships,  and on and on. But parents wil more quickly accept a group that seems to be taking their children in a particular direction. You don't have to provide everything they want, but it needs to feel to parents like the group is adding to the development of their children.  3. Children's Choice: Parents want a group that their kids want to go to. They will not force their children to go to your group for long. They may force them to try it, but if the student hates it, they'll not press long that their children endure something that makes everyone miserable. The leaders need to create a culture that welcomes and pursues visitors well and informs parents about upcoming events. Students really bond on trips and retreats. So a group needs to have those as well. You won't please everyone. Don't try. Lead your group with integrity, with enthusiasm and with prayer. And train your students and your leaders to love well.  Scott

What are the requirements to completing juvenile diversion?

I'm not sure what you mean but I imagine it is trying to divert offenders from re-offending, to get them out of the 'system'.

In the UK they have what is called a youth offending team in every area. The youth offending team liaise with schools, police and social services. The top twenty young people on their lists are compiled and the youth offending team work with their families and the offenders.

Each youth offending team has a huge budget to spend on the offenders/siblings /family to distract them from offending and to get them off the top 20 lists of the agencies involved.

It doesn't work despite all the money spent on them and despite what the workers put in their reports.

"Women have no sympathy" - What do you think of this quote from Florence Nightingale?

Florence Nightingale did write the quote in a letter of correspondence to her close friend Mary Clarke Mohl, December 13, 1861 after her return from the Crimean War. Its found on p. 93-94 if interested:

http://books.google.com/books?id=unQZKBVb35kC&pg=RA1-PA93&lpg=RA1-PA93&dq=florence+nightingale+women+have+no+sympathy&source=web&ots=3ck_blvalt&sig=x5siAa2GQumn7CoVSat5BlU-tNo#PRA1-PA93,M1

Apparently, she wrote this out of anger towards other nurses that were not applying the nursing advise she passed down to them. It is no secret that she was not an active supporter of the Women's Rights Movement. She believed God called her to nursing despite the fact that it was not deemed an appropriate profession for women. Because she was able to accomplish this despite the protests of society, and even more so, her family, she believed all women could do as she had done - Rise above societal and familial protests and obstacles to accomplish their life's calling. In this way, she may have felt there would be no need for a movement.

This is a link to an article by Lois Monteiro that discusses the quote (begins on p. 6): http://www.nursing.virginia.edu/research/cnhi/May2003News2.pdf
