Extractions: content County Home Juvenile The Clackamas County Juvenile Department is fortunate to have the support of its community, the County Commissioners, County Administrator and the budget committee. Our relatively low juvenile crime rate is attributable to the strong commitment from community partners and citizens, police and sheriff departments, and the juvenile department to keep our neighborhoods safe. Following are year by year juvenile department statistics for Clackamas County Juvenile Department. These figures are divided into Totals Crimes by type Other types and Specific Crimes and Recidivism . The reader is reminded to keep in mind that an increase or decrease in numbers may be attributable to an increase or decrease in population and/or an increase or decrease in the number of officers patrolling our streets. Totals There are three ways to look at juvenile justice activities: Total Referrals, Total Allegations and Total Youth. Each "total" provides a very different and useful way to scrutinize juvenile delinquency. Referrals: Generally, a referral is a police report received by the juvenile department. A referral may contain the allegation of one or more law violation. Every time an officer "refers" a youth to the juvenile department that referral counts as one new "referral".

Extractions: Crime is the most important subject on the public agenda today according to most national polls. Citizens of all races are fearful of violence and concerned about their own safety. People want their legislators and law enforcement leaders at all levels of government to develop effective strategies to reduce crime and ensure safety. This web page provides a compilation of resources on this topic, including both resources that are available in the Michigan State University Main Library as well as those that are available over the world wide web. In the most comprehensive study of its type, an article in the October issue of the Journal of Law and Economics (University of Chicago Press) says that crime costs $4,100 per person, or $1.7 trillion in 1997 dollars. The report, researched and written by David Anderson, an economist at Davidson College in North Carolina, covered such details as police and private security expenses, corrections costs, expense of crime-related injuries, amount of theft. Anderson says that criminals annually steal $603 billion in assets while also creating an additional $1.1 trillion worth of lost productivity.

Alternatives to the Secure Detention and Confinement of Juvenile Offenders This OJJDP Bulletin recommends developing objective, valid, and reliable tools to make placement decisions among alternative programs and expanding the existing range of alternatives for juvenile offenders. According to this Juvenile Justice Practice Series Bulletin, secure detention and confinement should be an option of last resort only for serious, violent, and chronic offenders and for those who repeatedly fail to appear for scheduled court dates and are almost never appropriate for status offenders and certain other small groups of offenders. It is the large group of offenders who fall in the middle in terms of the seriousness of their crimes that prove challenging to the juvenile justice system. (NCJ 208804)

Extractions: Shay Bilchik, Administrator . Fact Sheet #29 August 1995 Hate Crime Eric Bishop and Jeff Slowikowski Hate crime, also known as bias crime, has been defined by the Department of Justice.s Community Relations Service (CRS) as : A criminal offense committed against a person or property which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, ethnic/national origin, or sexual orientation group. In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crimes Statistics Act, mandating the Attorney General to collect data on the numbers of crimes committed annually in the United States that are motivated by hate. The Attorney General has directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation.s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting Program to conduct the data collection and issue an annual report. The FBI reported 7,587 bias motivated criminal incidents with 8,987 offenses and 9,372 victims for the year 1993. The FBI notes that hate crimes are not distinct offenses, but rather traditional crimes motivated by bias. The Nature of Hate Crime In 1993, intimidation accounted for 34% of the 8,987 reported offenses with destruction of property or vandalism accounting for 26%, followed by simple assaults at 20%, and aggravated assaults at 16% (Table 1). There were 16 murders and 17 rapes reported in 1993 that were motivated by hate. In these offenses, the most common motivation was race (64.4%), followed by religion (15.1%), sexual orientation (11.1%) and ethnicity/national origin (9.4%) (Table 2). TABLE 1.

Of this number, 85% were individuals with the remaining 15% being businesses, organizations, or other property. Table 2 shows that within the Race category, blacks were the victims of 59.2% of the crimes committed, while whites were the victims in 30.8% of the crimes. In the Ethnicity/National Origin category, 71.8% of the hate crimes were committed against Hispanics. In the Religion category, the majority of the victims were of the Jewish faith (87.9%). Within the Sexual Orientation category, 68.6% of the victims were male homosexuals and 14.7% were female homosexuals. TABLE 2.

Each incident can have multiple offenses and multiple offenders. Hate Crime Data Collection Current data on juvenile involvement in the perpetration of hate crimes is limited. Victimization information is not available. No empirical data identified the extent or impact of hate crimes on juveniles. The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports - Hate Crime Statistics for 1993 does not specify the age of the offender. The FBI.s new data collection system, The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS), will be more specific as to exact demographics, including the age of both the victim and offender, but is still several years away from implementation. Another common source for crime data, the Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) , does not identify motives for the crimes reported. It also contains no information with regard to the offender. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's Role in Hate Crime The Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), in accordance with sections 248(b)(7)(A) and 261(a)(9) of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, has initiated two projects on hate crimes involving juveniles. The projects, The Juvenile Hate Crime Study and Hate Crime Prevention: A Juvenile Justice Approach, were initially funded in 1993. Juvenile Hate Crime Study The Juvenile Hate Crime Study, conducted by West Virginia University's Dr. Richard Ball and David Curry, is a research project designed to standardize the complex issues in defining hate crimes. It is also studying the quality and availability of statistics pertaining to the involvement of juveniles, either as offenders or victims, in hate crimes. Preliminary findings indicate that only six states, and seven major cities within those states, maintain crime related data that specifies the age of the offender in hate crimes. The data reviewed from the six states revealed a wide variance in the percentage of hate crimes that can be attributed to juveniles (8.5% to 62.6%). A juvenile is defined as a person under the age of 18. In the seven major cities, juveniles were identified as the offender in a hate crime in 8.3% to 42.9% of the offenses. From the data reviewed in these states and cities, it can be extrapolated by using robust statistical techniques that an estimated 17% to 26% of all hate crimes incidents recorded by law enforcement can be attributed to juveniles. Under the OJJDP study, some correlates between juveniles and hate crime involvement have been identified. There appears to be a correlation between involvement in hate crime offending and gang-related crime. This is most notable with skinhead gangs and similar hate groups. These areas are identified by the project as needing further study. A 1988 Abt Associates study of hate crime estimated that half of the individuals arrested for hate crimes are adolescents and young adults between 16 and 25 years of age (Finn, P. And McNeil, T., 1988). In comparison, the FBI Uniform Crime Reports reported that only 35% of all arrests in 1993 were adolescents and young adults between 16-24 years of age. Juvenile Hate Crime Prevention The second project, Hate Crime Prevention: A Juvenile Justice Approach, is being conducted by the Education Development Center, Inc., (EDC). EDC's goals are to assist the field in the implementation of programs to prevent hate crime and to build awareness in the field of education and criminal justice to prevent hate crimes. These goals will be accomplished by developing, pilot testing and disseminating a hate crime prevention curriculum. At present, EDC has completed an assessment of the relevant literature and existing curricula and surveyed experts in the field. EDC also established an advisory board of national experts in the areas of juvenile justice, education, hate crime research, and victim assistance to advise and assist in the development of the curriculum. This developmental effort resulted in the production of a summary report of existing programs and a draft educational curriculum for juveniles. The EDC curriculum is divided into three different sections: 1) Introduction and Implementation Guidelines; 2) Where we are now: Understanding and Preventing Hate Crime and Incidents; and 3) How it begins: Understanding the Roots of Hate. The educational curriculum is designed to prevent hate crime and offer guidance to juveniles who commit hate crimes. It consists of 10 forty minute units. Each unit contains a lesson plan that includes student learning objectives, preparation instructions, teaching points, activities, handouts, lesson goals and purposes. EDC's curriculum was pilot tested at the Collins Middle School in Salem, Massachusetts this past year. EDC is currently reviewing and evaluating curriculum implementation. Once the evaluation is completed, the curriculum will undergo a redesign and be tested in two more sites to assure the efficacy of the program. If successful, it will be made available for national replication. The products developed from this OJJDP project are expected to have substantial impact on the juvenile justice agencies and hate crime prevention organizations that currently utilize training mechanisms but do not have the time, research, or expertise to develop curriculum materials on hate crime.

Juvenile crime statistics reflect arrest information and do not account for unreported juvenile crime rates. Juvenile crime statistics rates have steadily dropped since 1994 when crimes involving juveniles reached a record high. Since 1994, juvenile crime statistics have dropped by forty seven percent. There are currently about seventy million Americans under the age of 18, or a quarter of the total US population. Juvenile crime statistics report that 2.3 million juveniles were arrested in 2002. This accounts for 17 percent of all arrests and 15 to 25 percent of all violent crimes. According to juvenile crime statistics, murder accounted for five percent of violent crimes committed by juveniles, 12 percent for rape, 14 percent for robbery, and 12 percent for aggravated assault.

While the laws are the same for juveniles as they are for adults, the penalties are often less severe. Still, controversy surrounds the methods of punishing juvenile offenders, as juvenile crime rates and the severity of juvenile crimes continually fluctuate. According to Violent Crime Index arrest rates, the peak year for juvenile violent crime arrests was 1994. The Violent Crime Index includes the offenses of murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. In the years between 1980 and 1994, arrest rates for youth ages 15 to 17 increased an average of 62 percent. In the decade since 1994, the rates have dropped significantly.
