With deinstitutionalization and community‐based treatment of delinquents becoming more common, the need for facilities compatible with re‐integration efforts is crucial. In line with the increasing local needs for dealing with juvenile offenders in the community, this paper advocates the use of delinquency theory as the conceptual foundation for the architectural design and placement of community‐based alternatives to incarceration. In addition, we present guidelines for the site selection, community acceptance and physical design of a model community‐based treatment facility for minor offenders, which are based on a theoretical integration of social control theory and the labeling approach.
