Description

Robert M. Mowatt & Linda Chezem. This manual draws on the ideas & experiences of many who work in juvenile holdover programs (JHP) across the nation. JHP are short-term, temporary holding programs for youth that can be located in either a secure, nonsecure, or a combination secure/nonsecure setting. A JHP is capable of providing complete care to & observation of a youth while he or she is assigned to the program & can be designed to meet the needs of the local community it serves. This manual discusses all aspects of such a program in detail. Appendixes: juvenile holdover directory, Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act (1974), risk assessment instruments, & sample forms for JHP.
