At the 1-year followup, the data showed no significant differences in arrests or self-reported delinquency between the experimental and control groups. Interviews with both staff and youth suggest that the PCYC did deliver significantly more treatment services and may have had some modest positive effects on postrelease behavior and arrests. The evaluation may provide support to the argument that programs such as PCYC can be operated as cost-effectively as training schools and with no undue risk to the public and that such programs will be perceived as superior to training schools regardless of their actual impact. 8 notes, 1 figure, 3 tables, and 23 references
