There Are Four Primary Goals Of Confinement In The Juvenile Justice Sy There are four primary goals of confinement in the juvenile justice system: retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation. Select two contrasting residential treatment programs (e.g., group homes, boot camps, wilderness camps, or secure correctional facilities) and show how they meet one or more of the primary goals of confinement. What characteristics of the juveniles should a judge take into account when assigning a correctional facility or treatment program? What should our measure of success be for these programs? Considering the goals of confinement and society's desire to return juveniles to the community as productive members of society, there are several studies that show the majority of youth are arrested or returned to confinement after their release. Does this mean our system is a failure? What does this say about our overall juvenile justice system? How can we change our reentry systems to make them more effective? What are some of the considerations we should make as we develop our city and state programs? ANY SOURCES MUST BE PROPERLY CITED IN APA FORM WITH A REFERENCE PAGE ON THE BOTTOM. MUST BE WORDS IN LENGTH.

By contrast, boot camps are structured correctional programs that emphasize discipline, physical training, and strict behavioral expectations. Their primary aim is deterrence and incapacitation—deterring
