Synopsis
A news special report which focuses on society's way of dealing with youthful offenders. The program examines the effectiveness of rehabilitative programs targeted at that small percentage of juvenile offenders who commit such a large percentage of crimes. One such program reported on is S.H.O.D.I.--Serious Habitual Offenders, Drug Involved--which is attempting to provide some relief to the problem. The special also addresses the need for a whole new approach in providing opportunities for the rehabilitation of habitual juvenile criminals, while protecting society from their behavior, and also looks at the psyche of these juveniles.
