Abstract
Issues related to dealing with the serious juvenile offender are dis cussed in terms of the deinstitutionalization of juvenile offenders. It is argued that "serious offender," as a concept, lacks empirical pre cision ; the designation "violent offender" is offered in its place. Pro gramming for the violent offender within a community-based system is discussed.
