The data were obtained on the ground of the transcript content analysis of interviews conducted with eight juvenile offenders who were continuously included in three month program of drama in education in the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center Turopolje. Beside the analysis of the juveniles perspective, based on triangulation principle, the work analyzes also key presumptions for the efficacy of this working method with juvenile offenders from the trainers perspective (analysis of trainers notes content) as well as research professionals perspective (comparation with current theory and practice knowledge). Qualitative analysis of the results has shown that drama in education is recognized as an effective method by professionals and very well excepted method by juvenile offenders.
