This study investigates the effects of non-personal visitors (mainly university students studying sociology and psychology) upon the residents of Juvenile Correctional Institutions. The subjects of the study were 95 Saudi males (average age; 15.85 years) enrolled in Riyad's Juvenile Correctional Institution. A sentence completion questionnaire (ASCQ) was developed by the researcher to elicit attitudes of the subjects toward the non-personal visitors. The analysis of the data indicated that most of the subjects were in favour of the continuation of the visits, and were happy to talk to the visitors. Only a very small percentage of subjects expressed negative attitudes towards the visitors. It seems that the visits are thus an opportunity to provide the inmates with new role models. |
