Effective Planning

Psychotropic drug abuse among young persons below 21 years old has been increasing at an alarming rate in Hong Kong recently. Probation officers when working with young probationers who abuse psychotropic drugs need to contend not only with a complex phenomenon, but be challenged by the dilemmas of the nature of their profession between care and control. This article, by drawing from a discussion with a group of probation officers and feedback from a group of young probationers, raises some issues and questions for probation service in Hong Kong pertaining to working with young probationers who abuse psychotropic drugs. Some suggestions are made for probation officers to achieve more effective planning and interventions in working with young probationers who abuse psychotropic drugs. 由 於 滥 用 精 神 药 物 是 一 个 颇 复 杂 的 现 象， 身 兼 数 职 的 感 化 官 要 有 效 地 帮 助 日 益 增 多 的 滥 用 精 神 药 物 的 青 少 年， 委 实 不 易。 本 文 根 据 一 次 与 香 港 感 化 官 的 讨 论 和 一 群 接 受 感 化 的 青 少 年 的 回 应， 探 讨 感 化 官 处 理 青 少 年 滥 用 精 神 药 物 问 题 时 所 遇 的 挑 战， 并 建 议 符 合 社 会 工 作 价 值 和 香 港 情 况 的 方 案。

Limited Effect

The author presents a series of tables compiled from a drug abuse questionnaire. The data presented are summarized in a fashion that will enable one to compare the drug using population with the non-drug using population in regard to their inner actions with several societal institutions. It is most interesting to note the limited effect our schools have on the drug user and his feelings regarding his family relationships. Some interesting questions are quite evident and must be answered.
