Abstract
Since 1989, psychological treatments have been brought to juvenile detention centres in China. Therefore, the rehabilitation of the incarcerated youth in juvenile detention centre, especially those who are diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD) is attracting more and more attention in Chinese society and becomes urgent to be evaluated and improved. This empirical study focused on the perceived effects of the rehabilitation of the incarcerated youth who are diagnosed with CD in a juvenile detention centre, by qualitative interviews with their staff members. Results showed that although the incarcerated youth in this juvenile detention centre could not meet all the three required standards of psychologically rehabilitation set up by government, namely disappearance of symptoms of mental illness, capability of completing compulsory education, and capability of assimilating into social activities, they have been making progress, and most of them are able to avoid recidivism in future. Nevertheless, there is still room for their rehabilitation to be improved, mainly with regard to requirements of extra professionals and funds by the government, specifically adapted education programmes according to former academic levels of the incarcerated youth, more diversified vocational education, and family-detention centre cooperation. With these improvements there is a reasonable prospect that the effects of the rehabilitation could be strengthened.
