23. Teen Court Parental participation is mandatory for teen court defendants in that the court Reporting Services Interpreters Judicial Information systems http://www.17th.flcourts.org/html/teen_court.html

(Back to Previous page) Teen Court is a diversion program designed to offer an alternative to formal juvenile court proceedings. At Teen Court's sentencing phase trials, trained high school student volunteers using a Peer Jury format, roughly modeled after the process used by a grand jury, perform the courtroom roles of clerk, bailiff, juror and advocate. Teen Court defendants are misdemeanor offenders generally aged 11-17, who voluntarily agree to participate. These cases are referred by the State Attorney's Office and law enforcement agencies. Parental participation is mandatory for Teen Court defendants in that the parent(s) must attend an initial interview and the court hearing. Teen Court mainly handles charges such as retail theft, petit theft, possession of alcohol by a person under age 21, possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia, criminal mischief, battery, trespassing and other charges. Central to Teen Court's philosophy is accepting personal responsibility for one's actions. The defendant comes before the Teen Court Program for sentencing, having already admitted wrong doing. In following with this essential component of the program format, defendants will be appropriately sanctioned. On the evening of the hearing, the teen volunteers and former defendants sitting on the jury have a chance to review information about the defendant and his/her crime, before the proceedings begin. In the courtroom, an adult facilitator or judge presides over the session. The jurors and the judge ask the defendant questions that are relevant to the defendant's crime, school and family circumstances. Once the jurors believe they have sufficiently questioned the defendant, they go to the deliberation room and prepare a brief statement regarding their views on the defendant's actions and their decision as to the most appropriate sanctions for this particular defendant.

Teen Court ILLINOIS PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS PROGRAM AREA(S) Innovative or non-traditional approach Youth Programs High media visibility Alcohol and other Drugs TYPE OF JURISDICTION Multicounty TARGETED POPULATION(S) JURISDICTION SIZE Youth PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Two Illinois counties, Pike and Adams, have experienced a steady increase in juvenile crimes during the past decade, with a 23 percent jump in the number of court cases from 1993 to 1995. Circuit courts and probation departments in both counties reported a backlog of cases in 1995. Many of these were repeat offenders, with a high percentage of cases of underage driving, impaired driving and other alcohol-related violations. Circuit court officials recognized a need for alternative programs for juvenile offenders that were educational and could serve as a guide to development within the family and the community. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In an effort to provide an alternative program for juvenile offenders aged 10 to 18, Illinois' Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials established Teen Court in 1996. The goal of Teen Court was to direct cases away from the juvenile courts and to provide an alternative approach to litigating traffic violations such as impaired driving, speeding and seat belt nonuse. The Teen Court program focused on prevention of offenses rather than simply punishing them. Program objectives included: Providing an opportunity for youth to acknowledge responsibility for their actions, and suggest possible alternative behaviors

It does not necessarily guarantee a better entry job, however, the better the informal education , the higher you may go within a particular field. Of great importance today is job-related education. Teens that do not know how to properly apply for positions, fill out job applications, and conduct themselves properly during a job interview can still lose positions to others less qualified. A job-related education can be a great deterrent to juvenile crime, as the old saying goes, "idle hands...". It is extremely important that job-related education programs be provided in school settings or in special programs provided to juvenile offenders. Teen Court programs that make use of a job-related education program will find that the teenagers in question will have a better opportunity to turn their lives around.

33. FBI Publications - Law Enforcement Bulletin - March 1997 Issue - Teen Court teen court combines elements of the criminal justice system with volunteers to address a pressing community problem. The program succeeds for two reasons. http://www.fbi.gov/publications/leb/1997/mar971.htm

Teen Court By Sharon J. Zehner Ms. Zehner is the Director of Bay County Teen Court in Panama City, Florida. Teen Court augments traditional juvenile courts by providing a forum for first-time youthful offenders to be judged by their peers. Newspaper headlines and television broadcasts have chronicled the ominously sharp rise in juvenile crime that occurred during the past several years. While everyone agrees that rising levels of juvenile crime represent a serious threat to the quality of life in communities around the country, little consensus exists regarding the best way to respond to this profound problem. The debate, no doubt, will continue for years to come. However, some promising programs already have proven effective in curtailing youth crime. Among these is Teen Court, a program that uses the undeniable power of peer pressure as a positive, rather than negative, force to help convince youthful troublemakers that crime yields serious consequences. Teen Court also provides law enforcement agen- cies a unique opportunity to help guide at-risk youths away from crime at a time when they are particularly impressionable. In states where Teen Court is in place, youths who complete the program re-offend at a much lower rate than do youths tried and sentenced in juvenile courts.1 The program also represents a cost-effective alternative to traditional court processing because Teen Court relies largely on volunteers. While Teen Court is not designed to replace municipal juvenile courts, it does offer a highly structured and effective means to guide some youths away from trouble by showing them that criminal activity has both immediate and long-term consequences.

about contact events links ... Teen Court Person County Teen Court Program What is it? Teen Court is an alternative system of restorative justice. It is a court where first-time offenders are tried by their peers for misdemeanor offenses. Offenders admit guilt or responsibility and are held accountable for their actions. Student volunteers take the roles of clerks, bailiffs, attorneys and jurors. District and Superior Court judges and attorneys volunteer to serve as Teen Court judges. Teen Court is a "hands on" opportunity for offenders and volunteers to learn about the legal system. It is a vehicle for positive peer pressure. Youth brought before Teen Court as offenders learn to accept responsibility for their actions, and they pay back the community through service and Teen Court duties. The program empowers youth to work on ways to reduce crime and violence in their schools and community. Who may participate? Middle and high school students are needed as volunteers in Teen Court. Student offenders may be referred to Teen Court for such misdemeanors as: Shoplifting Theft Simple assault resulting in no serious injuries Vandalism Possession of alcohol/drugs/tobacco Possession of a weapon (not a gun) on campus Communicating threats Trespassing Students may be referred for such violations as truancy The Teen Court process begins when a referral is received from the Juvenile Intake Court Counselor, court officials, law enforcement officers (including School Resource Officers), or school administrator. If the juvenile does not have a prior record and is willing to admit responsibility for the offense, the case is accepted into the Teen Court program. An interview is scheduled with the juvenile and his/her parent or guardian. The parties sign an agreement to voluntarily participate, with the understanding that criminal charges will not be pursued if the juvenile successfully completes the Teen Court sentence. During the intake interview, rules and regulations for the program are discussed and a Teen Court appearance date is set. The juvenile is assured that all Teen Court proceedings will be held in strict confidence.

According to the report community diversion boards can require to teens enroll in smoking cessation classes (much to the delight, no doubt of pharmaceutical nicotine peddlers.) The article presents an accurate behavioral description of those who promote, enact, and enforce special-interest tobacco control agendas .

Teens in juvenile detention centers have their own stories to tell. Some can admit that they placed themselves there and most teens know they've made mistakes that they aren't proud of. Being away from home, losing independence, and being in a system dominated by males make life difficult for teen women in detention centers. Add to that the fact that youth are being treated more like adults every day, with some teens receiving heavy sentences in adult prisons. More teens, especially teens of color, are going through the juvenile detention and court systems than ever before. Listen to what teens in the system are experiencing and get to know the individuals behind the statistics.
