Abstract

The study aims at exploring the predictive ability of some variables in satisfying sociopsychological needs of convicted juveniles in Jordan. A questionnaire of 61 items divided on seven dimensions is designed to measure the juveniles needs. Seventy six convicted juvenile in Jordan completed the questionnaire. Results indicated that all health care needs of the juvenile’s results are moderate, except for “comprehensive medical check-up†which scored high. Shelter needs satisfaction scored high in “maintaining toilets cleanliness†and education satisfaction needs scored high in “providing lounges to watch television†. Results also revealed that juvenile’s age, sentence length, educational level of the father and the number of rehabilitation programs all contribute in explaining 59% of the total variation in self-awareness. And fathers’ educational, juvenile academic level and number of family visits contribute in explaining 75% of the total variation of modifying personal behaviour.
