I am aware of the success of forgiveness with adults in prison. I now am wondering if you have any evidence that forgiveness interventions can work in juvenile corrections.
Yes, we have two published studies, both conducted in South Korea, demonstrating the effectiveness of forgiveness interventions for adolescents. The two references are as follows:
Park, J.H., Enright, R.D., Essex, M.J., Zahn-Waxler, C., & Klatt, J.S. (2013). Forgiveness intervention for female South Korean adolescent aggressive victims. Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 20, 393-402.
Ji, W. & Enright, R.D. (2024). Forgiveness in juvenile corrections: An exploratory study on Korean female youth offenders. Journal of Family Trauma, Child Custody, and Child Development.https://doi.org/10.1080/26904586.2024.2436967
