The development and validation of a child in conflict with the law risk assessment scale for probation officers in South Africa
Abstract
During the planning phase of this project, the researcher intended to conduct a countrywide
South African study, as reflected in the title. However, the researcher experienced difficulty
with obtaining permission to conduct research in most provinces, ultimately only succeeding
in Gauteng. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic delimited the researchers scope to conduct
research in most provinces within South Africa.
