Abstract:Purpose: The paper addresses social inclusion support as a main focus area of intervention for young offenders after being released from custody in Malta, a former protectorate and colony of Britain from which it has inherited its public administration and education system. According to European Commission statistics published in 2011, the island has the highest percentage of young offenders in the European Union. The objective of this research is to investigate whether it is financially feasible to embark on studies to prepare a Young Offenders Housing and Resettlement Protocol and a cross-government action plan for the resettlement of juveniles following their term in custody. Design/Methods/Approach: This research is based on quantitative analysis of published and unpublished data relating to Young Offenders Unit Rehabilitation Services, Malta. The approach adopted is inspired by current practice and findings in Britain. Findings: Compiling a protocol and a cross-government action plan essential for effective public policy for housing young offenders following their term in custody is a financially viable option for Malta. The expenses incurred in providing custody for reoffenders balance out the costs involved in funding preparation of a Young Offenders Housing and Resettlement Protocol, the action plan and all supporting technical reports. In the payback period, a further reduction of the costs of preparing them can be attained by tapping into funding sources such as European Union co-financing programmes. Practical Implications: The preparation of a Young Offenders Housing and Resettlement Protocol and a cross-government action plan for young offenders drafted with all parties involved, including the offenders themselves, is a way to invest in the nation’s social capital with humanity. The short-, medium- and long-term impacts on such human capital investment are positive for both the young offenders and the community, the victim of crime. Originality/Value: This paper proposes that the effort to draft instruments introducing an effective housing and resettlement policy constitutes a viable, cost-effective preventive measure against the relapsing of young offenders.

Title:Nastanitev in reintegracija mladih prestopnikov: primer medresorskega akcijskega načrta za Malto
Abstract:Namen prispevka: Prispevek obravnava podporo pri socialnem vključevanju kot osrednji ukrep po izpustitvi mladih prestopnikov na prostost. Avtor se osredotoča na Malto, nekdanji protektorat in kolonijo Velike Britanije, od katere je država podedovala svojo upravno ureditev in izobraževalni sistem. Glede na statistične podatke Evropske komisije iz leta 2011 ima Malta najvišji odstotek mladih prestopnikov v Evropski uniji. Namen prispevka je ugotoviti, ali se je s finančnega vidika smiselno lotiti raziskav za pripravo protokola za nastanitev in reintegracijo mladih prestopnikov (angl. Young Offenders Housing and Resettlement Protocol) ter medresorskega akcijskega načrta za reintegracijo mladostnikov po izpustitvi na prostost. Metode: Raziskava temelji na kvantitativni analizi objavljenih in neobjavljenih podatkov malteške Službe za rehabilitacijo mladih prestopnikov (angl. Young Offenders Unit Rehabilitation Services). Pristop temelji na aktualni praksi in ugotovitvah iz Velike Britanije. Ugotovitve: Priprava protokola in medresorskega akcijskega načrta, ki sta ključna za učinkovito politiko na področju skrbi za mladostnike po izpustitvi na prostost, je finančno izvedljiva možnost za Malto. Stroški, ki nastanejo pri obravnavi povratnikov, so izenačeni s stroški financiranja priprave protokola in medresorskega akcijskega načrta ter vseh podpornih tehničnih poročil. V obdobju odplačevanja je mogoče doseči dodatno zmanjšanje stroškov, in sicer preko alternativnih virov financiranja, kot so denimo programi sofinanciranja Evropske unije. Praktična uporabnost: Priprava protokola in medresorskega akcijskega načrta, ki bi upoštevala vse vključene strani, tudi mlade prestopnike, predstavlja human način investiranja v narodov družbeni kapital. Kratkoročni, srednjeročni in dolgoročni vplivi takšne naložbe v družbeni kapital so pozitivni tako za prestopnike kot tudi za skupnost in žrtve kriminalitete. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Avtor prispevka ugotavlja, da so prizadevanja za vpeljavo učinkovitih politik na področju nastanitve in reintegracije mladih prestopnikov izvedljiv in stroškovno učinkovit preventivni ukrep proti povratništvu mladih prestopnikov.
