Exceptional Children, v68 n1 p119-39 Fall 2001
A 5-year qualitative study examined resilience among 15 adolescents transitioning from youth correctional facilities back into their communities. Topics addressed include: pre-delinquent histories, experiences in the correctional system, and post-corrections transition. Currently about half the respondents are successful (employed, going to school, or raising children). Internal and situational factors as well as implications for practice are discussed.
