Trainees' Interest and Involvement Tendency in the Implementation of Programmes at the Juvenile Moral Rehabilitation Centre in Selangor

Abstract

Moral rehabilitation centres implement various programmes to strengthen the identity and character of trainees. However, the effectiveness of these programmes depends on the level of trainees' involvement in the activities conducted. This study aims to identify the tendency of juvenile trainees' interest and participation in the programmes implemented at moral rehabilitation centres. A qualitative approach was adopted in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight informants, comprising founders, principals, and managers of the rehabilitation centres. The interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that juvenile trainees have a high tendency to engage in physically oriented activities. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the planning and improvement of programme implementation at moral rehabilitation centres, particularly for juvenile trainees.
