Synopsis

The monograph presents the results of research conducted through in-depth interviews with prison inmates who were previously juvenile court defendants. Thus, these are people who, from a criminal law point of view, prove a failure of the previous attempts at their rehabilitation. However, it was also assumed, which ultimately turned out to be correct, that such people could also provide important information about effective social rehabilitation, because they had both positive and negative experiences with social rehabilitation when they were minors. As inmates, they have unique knowledge about what they failed to take advantage of in the scope of social rehabilitation offered to them and why re-offending occurred in their lives.
