Oxford Journals

This week I have been reading through the 'Oxford Journals' in the Law section to find out how rehabilitation views and methods have changed in the last 10 years.
I used the 'British Journal of Criminology' to read an article about the post-release of young adult offenders. This journal was published in 1990 so I can use it to compare the methods with ones used today. The article argues that prison is often not the best solution for young offenders and also reasons why young offenders often are reluctant to go through rehabilitation.
Following on from the research I conducted about Intensive Probation I have also read an article entitled Intensive Probation for Young Adult Offenders which was also from the British Journal of Criminology, published in 1993.

I also decided to re-advertise my survey so that I had a broader number of responses so now I have 49. I am able to keep it open until I choose to collect and analyse the data.

I have also started to produce my presentation, explaining why I have chosen this title/topic. I have added my plan onto the slideshow and as I finish my research I will add this to my presentation.
