Boscoville is a residential school for juvenile delinquents. The average stay at Boscoville is approximately two years. During this time, the juvenile delinquents are re-educated to decrease their risk of recidivism. Boscoville aims to reduce recidivism, first, through educational activities, such as schoolwork, ceramics, sports, projects, and recreation; and secondly, through psychological treatment, such as group therapy, weekly meetings, and individual interviews. This report provides a comprehensive evaluation of Boscoville and its re-education model, which was conducted by an independent body, the Research Group on Juvenile Maladjustment. This evaluation comes at an opportune moment in the debate between those who say it is possible to change young delinquents and those who hold that none of the known methods of intervention are effective.
