Sixty juvenile offenders placed on probation in three provincial centers surrounding the city of Melbourne, Australia were studied over a 15 month period. A comparison of the recidivist half of this group with those who committed no further offenses revealed some striking differences in the social functioning of their respective families as well as in the latter's attitude toward their child, their acceptance or rejection of a resocialization role, and the degree of their cooperation with the probation agency. The implications for correctional policy lead to a suggestion for an intervention strategy which, depending on a family's level of functioning, utilizes degrees of family-agency partnership
