Answer to Question 1

The answer should contain the following points:
 Desai and colleagues found that there are three problems with the therapeutic detention:
 (1 ) The juveniles stay in the facility is too short for there to be an impact.
 (2 ) availability of these services are so limited that juveniles could be inappropriately placed.
 (3 ) lack of effectiveness in data.
 Even though there may be criticism to the therapeutic detention facilities, the institutions who run these facilities came up with a list to counteract the criticism:
 (1 ) It is a setting where a wide range of behavior control strategies are available, unlike many community settings such as foster homes or schools.
 (2 ) though lengths of stay are short, treatment begun in such settings may steer the momentum in a positive direction.
 (3 ) compared with large community programs such as those funded by child welfare agencies, the staff-to-child ratio can be smaller, allowing more personalized attention.
