The content analysis method was conducted to collect from 32 literatures in Taiwan. The results revealed 10 types of issues, including: targets, theories, the service indicators, strategy of practice, end of placement, influencing factors of effectiveness, contracts, self-awareness, service qualities, and effectiveness. Most literatures showed the residential placement with juvenile offenders is effective. This success was based on young offenders' positive achievement , physical and mental health in care. Social adaptation and the recidivism rate of young offenders are key indicators to evaluate the guidance effectiveness after leaving residential placement. Lastly, there were some suggestions for future practice, including: (1) improve the service quality of residential care; (2) emphasis on caregiver's self-awareness; (3) use the multi-strategies of practice; (4) build the evaluation method on effectiveness of residential care; (5) construct the evidence-based practice; (6) emphasize the importance of program evaluation in the residential placement. |
