The goal of the IAP model is to reduce recidivism among high-risk parolees. The model postulates that effective intervention requires not only intensive supervision and services after institutional release, but also a focus on reintegration during incarceration and a highly structured and gradual transition between institutionalization and aftercare.

Extractions: Recent Trends In Juvenile Crime Policy Are Driven By Fear, Not Fact, Says A National Expert On Juvenile Justice WASHINGTON, DC (December 9, 1998) In a new report released today, one of the nation's leading authorities on juvenile justice says youth policy in the United States is being driven by deeply flawed analyses of juvenile violence statistics. University of California at Berkeley Law Professor Franklin Zimring, whose research was funded by the MacArthur Foundation and published by Oxford University Press, says a serious misreading of youth violence statistics has been driving a nationwide trend toward much harsher approaches to juvenile justice than are necessary. According to Zimring, unwarranted fear has led to a proposed national youth policy that is preoccupied with crime control concerns about children who are currently under five-years-old. Zimring describes it as policy based on fear rather than fact. Zimring's analysis of juvenile crime statistics for the period 1980-1996, and reinforced by data just released by the FBI, shows juvenile crime has been on the decline for the past four years. But more important, says Zimring, is the fact that over the past 20 years, there has been no sustained trend of either increases or decreases in juvenile crime to support the nationwide toughening of laws affecting adolescents in trouble with the law. "We should celebrate the recent sharp decline in certain kinds of violent juvenile crime," says Zimring. "The fact is that youth in 1998 are no more prone to violence than were teens 20 years ago. There have been up and down cycles in the period, but we have been breaking even in the longer term."

Extractions: An Analysis of Curfew Enforcement and Juvenile Crime in California Mike A. Males Dan Macallair Citation: Males, Mike and Dan Macallair. 1999. "An Analysis of Curfew Enforcement and Juvenile Crime in California." Western Criminology Review ABSTRACT In recent years cities and localities across the country have expanded the use of youth curfews to address growing public concern about juvenile crime and violence. By reducing the number of youth on the street during certain hours, curfews are assumed to lower the risk factors associated with youth crime. Curfews have been widely cited by policy makers as an effective tool for reducing youth crime. However, no comprehensive analysis of the effects of these laws has been completed. This study analyzes arrest, reported crime, and mortality data from jurisdictions throughout California for the 1980-97 period. There is no support for the hypothesis that jurisdictions with curfews experience lower crime levels, accelerated youth crime reduction, or lower rates of juvenile violent death than jurisdictions without curfews. Keywords : crime policy, curfew, youth crime, incapacitation, youth violence, violent death
Extractions: Fear of increased juvenile crime has led to federal and state policies that are inconsistent with statistical realities. A "Comprehensive Strategy" designed by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) is providing tools for system reform in local communities. THE TRUTH ABOUT JUVENILE CRIME Juveniles are responsible for what percent of violent crime? Dr. Barry Krisberg, President, NCCD says juvenile crime statistics are misleading and can be manipulated to feed public fears. Data show that the national crime rate of adults and youth is essentially flat based on eight "index" offencesmurder, manslaughter, forcible rape, aggravated assault, burglary, armed robbery, larceny and arson. While 19 percent of index crimes are committed by youth, index crimes do not include all violent or serious offenses. Juvenile courts see primarily property and drug offenses, not violent crimes. Arrest rates are less reliable than crimes "cleared by arrest" as juveniles are often arrested in groups. Of violent crimes "cleared by arrest," 13 percent of the arrests were of juveniles. This is so close to the 11 percent proportion of juveniles in society that it suggests that youth do not contribute disproportionately to the crime rate. In fact, violent arrests are coming down, including arrests of younger adolescents. The good news is "we will not be invaded by super predators," although many are saying this is still the case.

Extractions: The Juvenile Court Reflections on the 100th anniversary By Mara Dodge I The Cycle of Juvenile Justice , historian Thomas J. Bernard shows how over the past 200 years each generation has believed that juveniles were committing more frequent and more serious crimes than juveniles 30 or 40 years earlier. rates (the number of crimes for which juveniles are actually charged Juvenile murder rates provide the major exception. While juvenile homicide arrests tripled between 1984 and 1993, they have declined by over 40 percent since then. Yet here again such arrest figures are highly misleading and contribute to our distorted view of juvenile crime. Many of these murder arrests were subsequently dropped by prosecutors, a clear indicator of lack of evidence and, presumably, lack of guilt. For example, although youths age 13 to 15 constituted 4.2 percent of the U.S. population and accounted for 4.2 percent of all homicide arrests in 1995, in the end they were charged (i.e., legally prosecuted) for homicide in only 2.4 percent of all cases. Even if we look at a broader age range, youth age 13 to 17 are not overrepresented in terms of murder rates. Constituting 8.2 percent of the population, they were cleared for 8 percent of all homicides in 1996. Moreover, the 1980s increase in homicide arrests was entirely restricted to gun violence. The number of youth arrested for non-gun related murders has actually declined since 1976. Thus, one might conclude that it is the far greater availability of lethal weapons, rather than a new generation of super predators, that is primarily responsible for the 1986-1993 increase in juvenile homicide arrests.

A joint effort by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and National Center for Education Statistics, the report examines crime occurring in school as well as on the way to and from school. Data for crime away from school are also presented to place school crime in the context of crime in the larger society. The report provides the most current detailed statistical information to inform the Nation on the nature of crime in schools. From 1970 to 1991, the death rate from homicide for teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age increased 220% (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1993). Homicide has become 1 of the top 2 leading causes of death for that age group. Homicide direct effects only on a small but increasing portion of the population (approximately 10 teenagers per 100,000 residents). Other less extreme forms of violence, however, have been found to affect a much larger group of adolescents.

(3) Girls were involved in one-third of all arrests of youths 13 to 15 years old in 2000, compared with one-quarter of arrests of younger and older juveniles. (4) The majority of juvenile female arrests clustered around the ages of 15, 16 and 17, while juvenile male arrests were more common for 16- and 17-year olds. (3) Arrest rates: In 1980, the juvenile male violent crime rate was eight times greater than the female rate. By 1999, the male rate was just four times greater. (1) Between 1980 and 1994, the male violent crime rate increased 50 percent, while the female rate increased 117 percent. (1) By 1999, the male rate dropped 7 percent below its 1980 level, while the female violent crime rate was still 74 percent above its 1980 level. (1) The female arrest rate peaked in 1993 at 63 percent above its 1980 level, whereas the male rate peaked at 129 percent above the 1980 rate.

It's free! Save it. For much of the 20th century, journalists protected the identities of juvenile crime suspects with a traditional sense of paternalism that shielded young offenders from the harsh glare of negative publicity. Newspapers followed the lead of the juvenile court system that generally kept its proceedings confidential-a practice that dates to the late 189Os when the system was conceived as a mechanism for rehabilitating young people who had run afoul of the law. From 1977 to 2003, a string of shootings at public schools across the U.S. thrust the subject of violent juvenile crime into the national consciousness, and with it, called in question the practice of shielding juveniles' identities. The most deadly shooting occurred when 15 students, including the two alleged gunmen, were killed at Columbine High School in Littleton, CoIo. Littleton heads the list of cities that have suffered deadly school violence: Jonesboro, Ark.; Springfield, Ore.; Paducah, Ky.; Edinboro, Pa.; Pearl, Miss.; Miami, FIa.; Santee, Calif.; New Orleans, La. and Red Lion, Pa.

Extractions: A comprehensive collection of links covering all aspects of the juvenile justice system and the related problems of juvenile delinquency. Are delinquent kids victimizers or victims? Are drug, school, and gang problems becoming worse or improving? In what ways does the juvenile justice system both hold youth accountable for their actions and attempt to assist in restoring them to full community participation? Using the Clearinghouse's Juvenile Justice Links you'll be able to research these and many other questions. At-risk youth have problems in school and often require specialized alternative educational opportunities. The Clearinghouse offers not only ways to connect with state departments of education, but examples of the many types of education programs currently available for this population. Here you'll find contact points for alternative schhols, second chance schools, anti-truancy programs, and education curriculum for youth under juvenile justice supervision. Locating which state government agencies have jurisdiction over delinquent youth is not an easy task. Some states, like Florida, have a state Department of Juvenile Justice. Others have adult youth authorities, family courts, or health and welfare departments. On this Clearinghouse page, you will find a reference for each state and find out who supervises at-risk populations.
