A radical approach to juvenile justice
"I could take any person off Harvard Square and they would do a better job for a troubled youngster than our institutions." (Dr Jerome Miller, former Commissioner for Youth Services, Massachusetts).
In just two years, between 1970 and 1972, Jerome Miller dramatically closed down the bulk of Massachusetts' youth custody institutions. This was not because tested alternatives were in place nor was it part of a coherent plan. It sprang from his frustration at the brutality and uselessness of institutions which 'warehoused' young offenders.
Brian Redhead introduces documentary evidence on the Massachusetts alternative and its aftermath and invites practitioners in the British system to debate the issues raised. The panel also cross-questions Dr Jerome Miller and Boston District Attorney, Scott Harshbarger in the BBC New York studios.
