| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 犯罪防治研究所 === 107 === The procedures and regulations governing the reintegration of juvenile delinquents into the regular school system upon being discharged from reform school were modified in 2013, but since that time little related research on this topic has been carried out.Thus the purpose of this study was to make a comprehensive survey of the results brought about by these changes over the past six years.
Adopting a qualitative research methodology, I used purposive sampling to recruit seven faculty members at schools which have enrolled former juvenile delinquents. Iconducted in-depth interviews with each of the participants on their experience with such students,focusing on their subjective impressions, the extent of theirinfluence, difficulties encountered, and how the current system might be improved.
The results indicate that although most of these students succeed in transferring into the regular school system, only a minority of them actually graduate. It was found that many of the schools these students transfer to don’t provide them with specialized guidance, thereby placing the regular faculty under pressure to make up for the gap. It was also found that the school culture, the availability of administrative support, and the attitude of faculty toward such students all have an influence on the student’s likelihood to graduate. I conclude by summing up the difficulties faced by the participants, stating the limitations of this study, and providing recommendations for policy makers and suggestions for future researchers.
