Discuss the Intensive Aftercare Program (IAP) model, include the five basic principles. Do you believe this to be a viable model? Explain why or why not
What will be an ideal response?
• The Intensive Aftercare Program (IAP) model, developed by David Altschuler and Troy Armstrong, offers a continuum of intervention for serious juvenile offenders returning to the community following placement.
• The IAP model begins by drawing attention to five basic principles, which collectively establish a set of fundamental operational goals:
• Preparing youth for progressively increased responsibility and freedom in the community
• Facilitating youth-community interaction and involvement
• Working with both the offender and targeted community support systems (families, peers, schools, employers) on qualities needed for constructive interaction and the youth's successful community adjustment
• Developing new resources and supports where needed
• Monitoring and testing the youth and the community on their ability to deal with each other productively
• These basic goals are then translated into practice, which incorporates individual case planning with a family and community perspective.
• The program stresses a mix of intensive surveillance and services, and a balance of incentives and graduated consequences coupled with the imposition of realistic, enforceable conditions.
• Student responses will vary.
