| dc.description.abstract | This study is concerned about the psychological and social problems that rehabilitated and reintegrated juveniles face. The study adopted the qualitative design of research. Six former juvenile delinquents who served time at the rehabilitation center in Addis Ababa and were released at least before six months of this study were selected by the staffs of the center and a case study of these six former juvenile delinquents was conducted including the views of professional staff members of concerned governmental offices using the semi structured interview. The collected data were categorized under thematic areas and detailed descriptions of the data were made under the themes. Findings show that rehabilitated and reintegrated juveniles delinquents face a number of psychological and social challenges. The psychological problems these group face are self-stigma (negative beliefs about one’s competence, low selfesteem and self-discrimination), guilt, shame, sadness, loneliness and anger. The finding also shows the social problems that these group face after getting back to the society are stigma, discrimination and loss of their reputation of “good girl/boy”. Moreover, the findings show that rehabilitated and reintegrated juveniles delinquents develop diverse coping mechanisms for the psychological and social problems they face. | en_US |
