In this research investigation entitled “Learning Innovations in a Project for Correcting Crime Problems and Improper Behaviors of Childrenand Young Persons in Cases Involving Vehicle Racing, RunningWild, Improper SexualRelationships and Illicit DrugUse (theTriple-S Project),” the researcher specifies operational patterns in preventing and solving problems encountered by children and young persons.
The researcher also studies successful operations conducted by the provincial police in Chanthaburi province. The researcher additionally examines the real causes of improper behaviors on the part of children and young persons. The researcher used qualitative research techniques in carrying out this inquiry by virtue of conducting documentary research, holding focus group discussions, and conducting in-depth interviews, as well as quantitative research in surveying opinions.
Findings showed that the operational patterns in preventing and solving such problems involved the fostering of participation by all sectors concerned—the public sector, the private sector, and the people’s sector—as well as changes made in police strategies where by the police were able to impress children and young persons by adopting the “Triple-S” strategy. In considering the aspect of operational success, the researcher found that children and young persons ceased from engaging in the objectionable “Triple-S” behaviors. They also showed respect for their parents and more frequently listened to them. They became responsible and more disciplined. This resulted in the circumambient community and society being more secure in life and possessions. In addition, it was also found that the real causes of improper behaviors arose from internal factors—broken families, divorced parents, and parents not being good role models, as well as lending support to their off spring in a wrongful fashion.
All in all, recommendations are the project under study should be continuously operated and should be encouraged to spread to other provinces. The public sector should provide budgetary support in solving the problems of children and young persons in a sustainable manner. The social sector must understand children and young persons and participate in helping children and young persons with improper behaviors to deal with their problems.
