觸法少年成功復歸社區之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討觸法少年成功社會復歸的經驗，聚焦於受訪者在復歸過程中所遭遇的生命脈絡、利用之資源，以及個人成長與轉變，期待能為青少年工作者提供相關經驗分享及建議。本研究採用質性研究方法，透過深入訪談六位已成年且成功復歸社會的前觸法少年，探討其成長背景中創傷經驗、家庭功能失調等因素對行為的影響。研究結論包括以下：1.行為受成長脈絡影響：受訪者在童年及青少年早期歷經創傷與家庭失功能等不利因素，成為偏差行為的重要影響因子。2.行為是創傷的外顯反映：受訪者的行為多源於內在的無力與情感需求，行為並非出於惡意，而是對壓力的反應。3.真誠且穩定的專業關係是復歸關鍵：受訪者普遍認為社工、師長、保護官及機構人員的真誠關懷與支持，是促成行為轉變的重要契機。4.家庭關係修復促進復歸成功：持續的家庭關懷與對話，及重要他人的支持，能強化復原力，成為青少年復歸社會的重要的支持網絡。5.切斷有害同儕關係以避免再度曝險：受訪者透過自我覺察逐漸設定界限，拒絕負向影響，尋求正向支持，降低再犯風險。研究建議如下：1.肯定助人工作者「真誠陪伴」為觸法少年復歸之重要關鍵；2.擴大服務時段與專業人力配置，回應青少年晝伏夜出的生活節奏及需求；3.推動整合多元服務的一站式青少年服務中心；4.復歸輔導過程應讓生活與科技使用貼近現實生活；5.倡議去標籤化語言與理念，減少負面污名和提升創傷知情照顧的知能。This study explores the social rehabilitation experiences of juvenile delinquents, with a particular focus on the life contexts they encountered during reintegration, the resources they accessed, and their personal growth and transformation. The aim is to provide practical insights and recommendations for professionals working with youth. Employing a qualitative research, the study conducts in-depth interviews with six individuals who were formerly juvenile delinquents and are now adults who have successfully reintegrated into society. It examines how trauma, family dysfunction, and other developmental factors influenced their behaviors and shaped their rehabilitation journeys.The conclusions of this study are as follows:1.Behavior is shaped by developmental contexts: Traumatic experiences and family dysfunction during childhood and early adolescence were significant contributors to the emergence of deviant behaviors. 2.Behavior reflects external expressions of internal trauma: The offenses committed by juvenile delinquents often stemmed from feelings of powerlessness and unmet emotional needs. These behaviors were typically stress responses rather than acts of intentional harm. 3. Authentic and stable professional relationships are critical to reintegration: Participants consistently emphasized that the genuine care and support provided by social workers, teachers, probation officers, and institutional staff offered vital opportunities for self-reflection and behavioral transformation. 4.Repairing family relationships facilitates successfully social rehabilitation: Continued family involvement, open communication, and emotional support from significant others enhanced the capacity of family systems to serve as a reliable support network for youth reentering society. 5.Disengaging from harmful peer relationships reduces recidivism risk: Through increased self-awareness, interviewees gradually established boundaries, distanced themselves from negative influences, and actively sought out positive support systems to prevent reoffending.The recommendations derived from this research are as follows: 1.Emphasize the value of authentic accompaniment: The consistent and sincere presence of helping professionals is a critical factor in supporting juvenile offenders’ successful reintegration into society. 2.Extend service hours and enhance professional staffing: Services should be adapted to align with the lifestyle patterns of youth, particularly those who are more active during nighttime hours and rest during the day. 3.Develop integrated, multi-disciplinary “one-stop youth service centers”: These centers should offer comprehensive support by consolidating various services, such as counseling, education, legal aid, and vocational training, into a single, accessible location. 4.Ensure rehabilitation reflects real-life experiences and technology use: Programs should incorporate everyday life skills and realistic technology engagement to better prepare youth for reintegration. 5.Promote de-labeling and trauma-informed care: Efforts should be made to eliminate stigmatizing language and concepts, reduce negative societal perceptions, and enhance understanding and application of trauma-informed practices among professionals.
