초록

It has been well-known fact that mental illnesses and alcohol misuse problems are highly related with crime. Indeed, the offenders with the problems of mental illnesses or alcohol addicts often involve in a recidivism. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the community-network treatment for offenders on probation who were mentally-ill or alcohol addicted. Total 29 offenders on probation participated in the treatment; however, the data were collected from 11 subjects among them through semi-structured interviews. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The interview data and the memos from the treatment centers were qualitatively analyzed by using content analytic method. The results were qualitatively described as per three categories – experience of the treatment, effect of the treatment and the factors of treatment continuity – by using the voice of the offenders with alcohol addiction as well as those with mental illnesses. In conclusion, this study was meaningful in terms of suggesting a realistic treatment model for the offenders on probation who needed a professional medical treatments. Also, this study explored not only the experiences and effectiveness of the treatment, but also examined the factors of treatment continuity which would be a strong evidence in developing further treatment model for the offenders on probation.
