在青少年缓刑中，不遵守缓刑条件是很常见的。为了解决这个问题，青少年缓刑官（JPOs）可能会使用不同的策略，如制裁和激励。本研究使用来自19个jpo的调查和焦点小组数据来评估他们对制裁和激励措施在减少青少年不合规方面的有效性的看法，特别是在物质使用方面。结果表明，有两种截然不同的jpo群体：认为制裁是有效威慑策略的群体和不这样认为的群体。在感知和人口统计学上，这两个群体有着显著的差异。值得注意的是，这两个群体对社会激励的看法相似，但认为制裁无效的jpo更有可能对有形激励持积极态度。这项研究对青少年缓刑领域如何针对JPO的看法，转向基于激励的策略，而不是基于制裁的策略，以减少青少年物质使用具有启示意义。
In juvenile probation, noncompliance with probation conditions is a common occurrence. To deal with this, juvenile probation officers (JPOs) may use different strategies, such as sanctions and incentives. This study uses survey and focus group data from 19 JPOs to evaluate their perceptions of the effectiveness of sanctions and incentives in reducing youth noncompliance, specifically in the form of substance use. Results show that there are two distinct groups of JPOs: those who believe sanctions are an effective deterrent strategy and those who do not. Perceptually and demographically these two groups contain significant differences. Notably, both groups have similar views of social incentives, but JPOs who believe sanctions are ineffective are significantly more likely to have positive views of tangible incentives. This study has implications for how the field of juvenile probation can target JPO perceptions to move toward incentive-based strategies rather than sanction-based strategies for reducing youth substance use.
