Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a distinct, yet transient, period of development between childhood and adulthood characterized by increased experimentation and risk-taking, a tendency to discount long-term consequences, and heightened sensitivity to peers and other social influences. A key function of adolescence is developing an integrated sense of self, including individualization, separation from parents, and personal identity. Experimentation and novelty-seeking behavior, such as alcohol and drug use, unsafe sex, and reckless driving, are thought to serve a number of adaptive functions despite their risks. Research indicates that for most youth, the period of risky experimentation does not extend beyond adolescence, ceasing as identity becomes settled with maturity. Much adolescent involvement in criminal activity is part of the normal developmental process of identity formation and most adolescents will mature out of these tendencies. Evidence of significant changes in brain structure and function during adolescence strongly suggests that these cognitive tendencies characteristic of adolescents are associated with biological immaturity of the brain and with an imbalance among developing brain systems. This imbalance model implies dual systems: one involved in cognitive and behavioral control and one involved in socio-emotional processes. Accordingly adolescents lack mature capacity for self-regulations because the brain system that influences pleasure-seeking and emotional reactivity develops more rapidly than the brain system that supports self-control. This knowledge of adolescent development has underscored important differences between adults and adolescents with direct bearing on the design and operation of the justice system, raising doubts about the core assumptions driving the criminalization of juvenile justice policy in the late decades of the 20th century. It was in this context that the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) asked the National Research Council to convene a committee to conduct a study of juvenile justice reform. The goal of Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach was to review recent advances in behavioral and neuroscience research and draw out the implications of this knowledge for juvenile justice reform, to assess the new generation of reform activities occurring in the United States, and to assess the performance of OJJDP in carrying out its statutory mission as well as its potential role in supporting scientifically based reform efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Juvenile Justice System aims at nothing less than a complete reform of the existing system: not minor change or even significant overhaul, but the replacement of the existing system with a different vision. The authors in this volume—academics, activists, researchers, and those who serve in the existing system—all respond in this collection to the question of what the system should be. Uniformly, they agree that an ideal system should be centered around the principle of child well-being and the goal of helping kids to achieve productive lives as citizens and members of their communities. Rather than the existing system, with its punitive, destructive, undermining effect and uneven application by race and gender, these authors envision a system responsive to the needs of youth as well as to the community’s legitimate need for public safety. How, they ask, can the ideals of equality, freedom, liberty, and self-determination transform the system? How can we improve the odds that children who have been labeled as “delinquent” can make successful transitions to adulthood? And how can we create a system that relies on proven, family-focused interventions and creates opportunities for positive youth development? Drawing upon interdisciplinary work as well as on-the-ground programs and experience, the authors sketch out the broad parameters of such a system. Providing the principles, goals, and concrete means to achieve them, this volume imagines using our resources wisely and well to invest in all children and their potential to contribute and thrive in our society.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II The Present Status Of Juvenile Courts The juvenile court has gradually developed for itself standards of legislation, of personnel, of administration, of case work:1 Very, very few courts, however, live up to these standards, and fewer still have developed any consistent policy looking in a broad-visioned way toward the future of the court as part of an ideal child-caring system. The practical juvenile court worker may declare that this ideal is impossible; that local expediency must govern policy entirely. The writer would contend in the first place that certain juvenile courts, like that of St. Louis, have found it feasible to combine the two; and, further, that a clear- cut ideal is of value even in a situation which forthe time being necessitates a policy contrary to it. 1 See, for example, Reports of the New York and Massachusetts Probation Commissions; Reports of the Louisville, St. Louis, and Chicago Juvenile Courts; The Delinquent Child and the Home, Breck- enridge and Abbott; Preventive Treatment of Neglected Children, H. H. Hart, ed., Part VI; and especially the Report of the Committee on Juvenile Courts and Probation of the National Probation Association. Let us, then, independently of the standards of method or case work involved in any particular kind of work undertaken by the courts, note for examination the various functions performed by different courts, and attempt to discriminate the essential from the accidental. In many juvenile courts the probation officers are empowered to make arrests and file their own complaints. These are excellent provisions for emergencies and for cases which are merely violations of probation. But some officers go to the extent of preferring to bring in their own cases, even where they are violations of law...

History And Definition The function of probation has grown gradually through many years until it is now a definitely established factor in court procedure. It grew originally out of the practice of suspending sentences in cases in which the defendants had been convicted, and imprisonment manifestly promised to be of little or no avail. The courts, instead of executing the sentence prescribed by law, had the right of indefinitely postponing it and releasing the defendants conditionally on good behavior, the understanding being that if they transgressed the law, they would be returned for sentence on the original conviction, but if they behaved, the sentence would be indefinitely postponed and they would be finally discharged. It naturally followed that during this period of conditional release, the court could require some record of the conduct of the persons so treated. Police authorities, parents, relatives, charity workers, or other persons, were requested to take an interest and report to the court the conduct and progress of the persons so released. The judge also required that those persons, children or adults, so released, should report to him. Out of this practice developed naturally the idea of appointing some person to give his or her whole time to the work, such a person to be paid out of public funds. In 1878 a statute was enacted providing for the appointment of such a special officer in Suffolk County, Boston, Mass., thus demonstrating that the idea had taken root. These officers were given the title of " probation officers" and the system of supervision of persons released after conviction has ever since been known as the "probation system." The juvenile court views the probation system...
