Factors In Self Reflection Models of Juvenile Detainee —— A Hong Kong Case Study

During the last several decades，theft crime has been one of the most troublesome problems amongst juvenile crime in Hong Kong. Previous studies have only found out the causal relationship and dealt with it by civic education, situational crime prevention and strict law enforcement. Nevertheless, only a little literature discussed the field of self reflection models of juvenile detainees. This study combines observation and questionnaire designed based on survey methodology. Subjects were 32 juvenile detainees (aged 10-15) who have committed theft crime and are waiting for probation reports at juvenile homes in Hong Kong. Multiple regressions reveal that counselors attempt to establish the relation with clients, intervention of religious beliefs, client’s positive interaction with probation officers and concern about personal fixture were significantly (<.05) associated with self reflection. This study has taken a step in the direction of defining the relationship between positive interaction with probation officers, personal interviews and self reflection in one particular model.
