Abstract
This ethnography starts at the beginning, with a review of the relevant literature on juvenile delinquency and on reform programs for juvenile delinquency. Simply put, there are major issues in the way that society is dealing with the problem of juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency itself is a huge societal problem. For instance, "each year, the juvenile justice system spends billions of dollars to handle approximately 7,000,000 youths...the problem of juvenile delinquency exacts a high toll on society in terms of loss of property, life and each year, more disaffected youth" (Ozanne, et al P185). After examining the relevant literature and identifying problem areas in the social programs designed to aid juvenile delinquency, this ethnography will then analyze, through participant observation and structured interviews, how the GVFD has had such a dramatic impact on the juvenile delinquents who choose to join.
