Delinquency is a disturbing issue confronting adolescents, parents, and teachers. Matherne (2001) indicated that one's family environment is an important context in the development of delinquency, although the exact nature of the relationship between family environment and delinquency remains debatable.

520 $a Delinquency is a disturbing issue confronting adolescents, parents, and teachers. Matherne (2001) indicated that one's family environment is an important context in the development of delinquency, although the exact nature of the relationship between family environment and delinquency remains debatable. The goal of family educators within the juvenile justice system to use the unfortunate circumstances of being exposed to the prison program to change adolescent lives (National Center on Education, Disability and Juvenile Justice, 2006).
520 $a The overall purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a short-term intervention for youth and their families currently involved or at-risk for involvement in the juvenile justice system. The intervention was based on a pilot model, the PAC Success Family Literacy Initiative (Positive Action through Cooperation). The intervention is a 6-week, 12-session program designed to meet the needs of those families with adolescents previously identified (by the court, juvenile justice, law enforcement, or public schools) as potentially at-risk (Probationers' Educational Growth [PEG], 1997).
520 $a A family systems framework was used to guide the study. This framework provides an understanding of family dynamics that may influence the behavior and functioning of youth, specifically addressing how the family of origin influences functioning (Connard, 1996). A systems perspective focuses on the way relationships within the family and between the family and its social environment influence individual development and family functioning (Connard).
520 $a The invited sample consisted of approximately 100 families purposively selected during 2002 from the following 7 Florida sites: Leon; Calhoun; Franklin; Holmes, Washington and Jackson; Taylor; Escambia; and Bay counties. Each referred "family" had at least 1 parent/caregiver and 1 adolescent identified as at risk. The final sample consisted of 76 participants (43 parents/caregivers and 33 youth).
520 $a Data were collected in 2002 by means of 5 instruments: Initial Referral Form, and Intake Assessment Form, Attendance Sheets, Parent-Caregiver/Child Pre and Post Survey, and Certificate of Completion. Of the 7 participating sites, only 4 maintained verifiable records, and the participating families differed according to whether they fully completed the program or missed more than 2 sessions which constituted partial completion of the program.
520 $a Using archived data and information from the Department of Juvenile Justice about current recidivism, the program was assessed. After the PAC Success intervention, there were significant changes in reported parental/caregiver perceptions regarding their children's behaviors, such as arguing, being destructive, blaming others, and acting helpless, and also their perceptions of children pertaining to misbehavior, motivation, selfishness, and punishment. However, youth did not report significant changes in negative self attributes, such as stubbornness, blaming, lying, and helplessness or in perceptions of negative parental/caregiver attributes such as mistakes, competition, punishment, and lack of attention. Results did not differ for partial or full completers. Regarding recidivism, differences between full completers and partial completers were not significant at both one and four years.
520 $a This study provided insight into issues relevant to a short-term educational program with the population of youth at-risk and their families. The findings suggest that programmatic interventions can influence risk factors that are significant in delinquent youth returning to incarceration after being released.
