Hello Class,

There are various characteristics within abusive populations, including incidences of depression and suicide. Specialists and practitioners are handling this specific type of individual need to be careful because these individuals have the tendency to hold back what the practitioner tells them, and they become abusive and violent when someone assists. Practitioners dealing with them usually experience challenges because the addictive population is highly unpredictable from the study and can hold information from being given out. Generalist practitioners face various challenges when working with violent and abusive individuals, such as lacking cooperation (Goldkind, 2011). The violent and vicious individuals do not cooperate with the generalist practitioner giving the professionals a hard time managing and handling them. They are forceful and abusive hence cannot take the words said to them by the health care professionals. Working with juvenile offenders is better because they can listen to what the counselor says than adults offenders and survivors of assaults and domestic violence.

Juvenile offenders are less violent; hence their level of tolerating and coping with them is high compared to adults and survivors. Young offenders are also cooperative, and handling them is not cumbersome and stressful like the case of adult reprobates. Working with juvenile offenders is to restore the offenders early to help them change and drop abusive and violent behaviors irrespective of bringing offenders at a young age (Levendosky, Bogat & Huth-Bocks, 2011). Secondly, the other accomplishment related to working with the young offender is installing focus and rehabilitation to the young offenders for personal change and future acceptance into the society.
