碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 101 === The researcher has been working as a consultant in juvenile correction institutes for counselling delinquent juvenile for fifteen years. From observation, it appears that a juvenile’s family, school and societal environment are important in the criminogenic process,after they have been discharged from the Juvenile correction institute. In this regard, the researcher has established an NGO, “Chinese Juvenile caring institute”, to help juveniles refrain from crime again, but only failed to have good effect. However “Jiotien folk dancing group” has successfully transformed itself from an “gang group” unacceptable to society into a famous art performance group which also successfully manages delinquent juveniles. This outstanding success has motivated the researcher to research how they have managed to achieve this performance. In this report, the researcher is trying to understand how “Jio-tien” successfully handled those juvenile’s delinquency; also to understand what are its concepts and methods and can they be replicated and modelled for others. If the exceptional experience of “Jiotien” can be analysed for better understanding, it may provide a good model to be copied or referred by other organizations. By interview 24group and community members, the study concluded that the mechanisms through which “Jio-tien” succeeded were (1) a leader with talent and broad vision who leads by his personal example., (2) self-fulfillment with assertiveness, (3) the loyalty to stand together through thick and thin, (4) positive and constructive peers, (5) surroundings with norms, (6) spiritual convention, and (7) familial cooperation. There are some implications of this study: (1) the family should establish the loyalty to stand together through thick and thin, (2) the schools should provide sources for diverse accomplishment (3) the other displacement organizations could promote friendship between peers and their self-fulfillment, (4) educational circles could bring “Jia-Jan group” into vocational training at school, and (5) the government could administer “Jia-Jan group” positively as a legitimate NGO.
