Extractions: TrackBack Print E-mail TalkBack America Online launched a service with an array of customized features aimed at teenagers on Tuesday in an effort to woo the highly sought-after market. The giant Internet service provider (ISP) is increasingly targeting specific segments of its user audience with customized versions of its products as it struggles to add new subscribers and prevent consumer defections. AOL reported a U.S. subscriber base of 24.3 million at the end of 2003, indicating a loss of roughly 2.2 million users over the course of the year. And while the company remains intent on making up for the falloff with more expensive broadband services In addressing the teen market, the stakes for AOL may be even higher than in marketing to the audiences that the company has previously targeted. Young adults not only make up an important wave of potential future subscribers, but also stand as a demographic group among the most attractive to advertisers, another key to AOL's success.

Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER In juvenile court there are no juries, and Judge Patricia Clark, who presides in King County, sometimes hands down sentences no more onerous than directing wayward teens to write about their hopes for the future. This motherly guidance does little to dispel the notion held by some parents and prosecutors that juvenile court is the Romper Room of criminal justice, a kiddy-style mimicry of the real thing though many of the young people appearing before Clark are fully capable of adult-size crimes. Niki Desautels / P-I Judge Patricia Clark talks to a boy about his new job and progress at school during King County juvenile court proceedings.

Jobs The Detroit News received the Top Well Done Award in Division I in the fourth-quarter Well Done contest for an investigation that revealed how under-funded court and probation systems allowed more than 26,000 fugitives from justice to remain free on the streets. Judges for Division I were: Randy Hammer, executive editor, Pensacola News Journal; CynDee Royle, senior managing editor, The Journal News at Westchester; and Sue Burzynski, associate editor, The Detroit News. (The judges' decision on the Top Well Done award was made by Hammer and Royle.) Kathy Kozdemba, director/readership, reviewed Division I. Division II results will appear next week. Here are the Division I results: TOP WELL DONE The Detroit News For a six-month investigation that revealed how more than 26,000 fugitives some charged with murder and rape roamed free even though many were living at addresses listed in the phone book. The series by Melvin Claxton, Ronald Hansen and Norman Sinclair exposed an under-funded court system and probation department that were failing to enforce bail restrictions and making almost no effort to track down fugitives. The series documented crimes the fugitives had committed while free, including 50 murders, 51 rapes, 338 armed robberies and 100 carjackings. The reporters simply used the telephone book and knocked on doors to easily locate fugitives who in some cases were charged with murder. After the series ran, county commissioners quickly approved $900,000 for squads to pick up accused criminals.

Extractions: New Changes to Teen Driving Laws Effective July 15, 2005 , PA 94-0240 Prohibits the use of cell phones for drivers under the age of 18, unless it is for emergency purposes. Effective January 1, 2006 , PA 94-0241 Each driver under the age of 18 years and each of the driver's passengers under the age of 19 years (changed from 18) shall wear a safety belt. Effective January 1, 2004 , the GDL law will change to reflect new passenger limitations for beginning teen drivers. For the first six months of a person's license or until the driver is age 18, whichever occurs first, the number of passengers in a vehicle is limited to one person under the age of 20, unless the additional passenger(s) is a sibling, step-sibling, child or step-child of the driver. These restrictions reduce the likelihood a driver will be distracted by a car full of fellow teens. A conviction for this offense (Section 6-107(g) of the Illinois Vehicle Code) will be entered to the driving record as a non-point assigned violation, similar to a seat belt violation, and is not used to initiate any license sanction by this office.

Extractions: Hugh B. Price, president of the National Urban League, recently identified a phenomenon that is unique to our society. While speaking to the Akron Round Table on May 30, 1996, Mr. Price noted that the current generation of adults is the first that is "afraid for and of our children." Being afraid for our children is nothing new. Parents naturally worry about their children and naturally exert great effort to protect them from harm. What is unique to the current generation is being afraid of our children. What has happened in recent years to create such a diabolical situation? A dramatic rise in violent youth crime has been documented by government officials and others, and has been reported on by the media. The alarming rise in violent youth crime has been documented, most recently, in the Kids Count report issued by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. This private foundation reports that the arrest rate for violent youth crime rose dramatically from 1985 to 1993. Particularly, arrest rates for juveniles charged with murder, rape, robbery and assault rose in every state except Vermont, and doubled in eighteen states, including Ohio. The Casey Report relays similar data for 1994 and 1995 from the U.S. Dept. of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the F.B.I. This data reveals an increase in violent youth crime, while the national adult crime rate has declined during the past several years.

Extractions: Donald Bradley Nearly 4 million of the country's 18- to 24-year-olds are unemployed, not in school and have no degree beyond high school, according to a study released today. These young adults, roughly 15 percent of that age group, are called society's "disconnected," the study said. And their ranks increased by 700,000 since the year 2000. Mostly from inner cities and poor rural areas, these young adults face a greater likelihood of bad outcomes in life, now and in the future. They often come from the worst schools and are ill-prepared for adulthood. The statistics are contained in the Kids Count report, a state-by-state analysis of child well-being produced each year by the nonprofit Annie E. Casey Foundation. By many measures, the 2004 version found that children and teens are faring better than they were in the mid-1990s. Fewer were living in poverty in the early part of this decade, when most of the statistics were collected. Fewer teens were having babies. Fewer children were dying before their 14th birthday.
