A group of parents has petitioned the Douglas County District Attorney's Office to reconsider charging a 17-year-old as an adult in connection with a Parker traffic accident that killed four people. Todd Stansfield has recovered from the crash that killed his friends. The district attorney's office charged Todd Stansfield with four counts of vehicular homicide in a June 2004 head-on accident that killed three of his friends from Ponderosa High School and a 77-year-old Parker man who was driving the other car. Stansfield was 16 at the time of the accident. The families of two of the students killed created an online petition that has been "signed" by more than 1,600 people . The petition asks that Stansfield be charged as a juvenile, rather than an adult. "Tried as a juvenile, the sentence would be substantially less, allowing Todd to live a productive life. This tragedy was an accident, not a deliberate or criminal act," Ivan Majestic said. "The result will be another young life destroyed and will serve no purpose to the memory of those who lost their lives."

Features Archive Respond to this Article June 1999 - Volume 31 Issue 6 The Wrong Answer to Littleton A few teen criminals belong in prison, but most do not by Megan Twohey We've all become well-acquainted with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two boys who tore through their hallways and classrooms in Littleton, Colo. in April, spraying bullets that left 12 students and one teacher dead. Their pictures were plastered on the covers of most major magazines; their life stories were regurgitated on every local and national news broadcast. Images of the "Trenchcoat Mafia" will linger in the American memory for years to come, reminding us that even adolescents are capable of horrific crimes. We're less familiar with boys like Ronnie Vera. Last year, Ronnie, 18, entered an Arizona prison. He is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence for two counts of first-degree burglary and one count of first-degree murder. Unlike Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, Ronnie did not kill anyone. He and a friend were caught stealing a bike in a neighborhood by a prominent community activist in Tucson. Ronnie turned to run. His friend pulled out a gun and shot and killed the community activist. One year later, a jury convicted both Ronnie and his friend of murder. Ronnie was 16 at the time. In most cases, youths under age 18 who break the law enter a juvenile court system. Ronnie, however, stood trial before an adult criminal court. He received an adult sentence, and currently lives behind bars in an adult prison. "From 16 on, he grew up really fast," said Yolanda Vera, Ronnie's mother.

History download PDF Introduction Responding appropriately to delinquency Understanding youth crime and violence ... Bibliography Introduction Whenever troubled youngsters interact with government systems, there is an opportunity to do things right—to connect with them and offer the guidance and services they need. Justice in these moments is not just a matter of fair treatment, but also of making these connections and helping young people develop healthy and fulfilling lives. By this measure, the criminal and juvenile justice systems, the child welfare system, and the public schools all fall short. Vera is helping government agencies in all of these systems respond more appropriately and efficiently to young people’s individual needs and situations. The Institute has researched the way juvenile courts, detention centers, and other agencies function. These explorations have allowed us to see systems from many perspectives: as a young person, a senior agency official, and a frontline worker. Looking for statistical patterns in an agency’s data gives us an even fuller view. These multiple perspectives help us identify gaps in the network of agencies of serve kids and how, with our government partners, we can close them. Vera creates demonstration projects that not only improve young people’s encounters with government, but make the most of these opportunities to offer help. The Institute has pursued its work with youth in three main areas. First, when kids do get into trouble with the law, Vera has sought to find appropriate responses to delinquency, including alternatives to court and jail. Second, Vera has researched what causes kids to become involved in delinquent, violent, and criminal behavior. Most recently, Vera has tried to prevent early adolescents from becoming involved with crime and violence, and to encourage their positive development.

During this stage of their lives, youth struggle with the transition from childhood to adulthood. During childhood, they depended mainly on their parents for economic and emotional support and direction. In adulthood, though, they will be expected to achieve independence and make choices about school, work, and personal relationships that will affect every aspect of their future. Without question, adolescence is a difficult time for many young people. During this period, they must contend with physical changes, pressure to conform to current social trends and peer behaviors, and increased expectations from family members, teachers, and other adults. Adolescents also must deal with sometimes conflicting messages from parents, peers, or the media. They struggle with an increasing need to feel as if they "belong." Young people also feel pressure to perform academically or socially. For some young people, the usual challenges of adolescence are compounded by difficult family situations, overcrowded classrooms, disintegrating neighborhoods, or exposure to alcohol or other drugs. Without support and guidance, these young people may fall victim to behaviors that place them, and others, at risk. In our society, those behaviors include dropping out of school, running away from home, joining gangs, and using alcohol or drugs or becoming involved in other law-breaking behaviors. Some youth may become despondent, leading to academic problems, social isolation, or self-destructive behavior.

Reeves School board members are caught in the middle of the debate over standards and assessment. State policymakers are demanding high standards at the same time that increasingly militant teachers are criticizing high-stakes assessments and demanding more autonomy in the classroom. Most state-level accountability systems gather only test scores, with a passing reference to other variables typically poverty and ethnicity. The problem with most analyses of educational accountability stems from a classic error in logic: the two-variable fallacy, which leads to the mistaken conclusion that poverty causes lower test scores or that minority enrollment causes lower test scores.

Comments Forum on Youth, Police and Parents Emphasizes Community Involvement and Creative Pastoral Initiatives by Margy Rydzynski Following dinner and the opportunity to network, the meeting was called to order and introduced by CMM's Executive Director, Claire Kashuck. Claire began with some seemingly simple questions: why were we here tonight? Why had we chosen this topic? These questions turned out to complicated and multi-faceted. Young people in both urban and suburban communities are increasingly at risk for violent, anti-social and self-destructive behavior. For each honors student, bound to go on to prestigious and fulfilled lives there are scores more being suspended from school or dropping out altogether, abusing drugs and alcohol and causing long- and short-term damage to their families and their communities. This problem is not limited to urban settings, either. Juvenile crime is actually increasing in the suburbs at the same time it is leveling out or decreasing in urban areas. This is clearly a difficult issue, not amenable to simplistic analyses or solutions. Only one thing is clear: to effectively deal with these issues, collaborations - between law enforcement agencies, parents, religious congregations, judicial systems - is a necessary first step.

News Release Preface Contents About the Authors Review ... Bookstore Preface Juvenile justice officials across the United States are embracing a new method of dealing with adolescent substance abuse. Importing a popular innovation from adult courts, state and local governments have started hundreds of specialized drug courts to provide judicial supervision and coordinate substance abuse treatment for drug-involved juveniles. The number of youth affected by these new juvenile drug courts is small compared with the more than one million cases handled each year by traditional juvenile courts, but the programs are spreading rapidly and their presence is changing the way practitioners and policymakers think about the challenge of adolescent drug use. Drug courts give offenders an opportunity to change their behavior and stop their use of illegal drugs before they receive serious legal penalties. Those who stop using drugs and complete a rigorous program of treatment may have their charges dismissed or their sentences reduced. To ensure that program participants complete drug treatment as ordered, drug courts assume responsibilities that go beyond the traditional role of a criminal court. They coordinate client case management and probation supervision for every case. They hold regular review meetings and frequent court hearings to monitor each offender's situation. They use graduated sanctions and tangible rewards to motivate offender compliance, and they check for violations by conducting numerous random or unannounced drug tests.

Your Turn A Juvenile Court Magistrate Looks at kids, crime and respect June 4, 2001 Court TV Host : We're going to be joined by our guest, Richard Graham, chief magistrate of the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court in Ohio. We're going to be talking about the questions that were raised on the television program "Your Turn" which last Saturday dealt with the issue of respect by setting up a town meeting in Cleveland, where kids could discuss issues relating to respect with themselves and with adults who work in schools or in the criminal justice system. Court TV Host : Welcome, Judge Graham. Richard Graham : Hi, everybody. My comments will be from the State of Ohio perspective. Court TV Host : Let's take the first question from online... Is disorderly conduct a proper charge for fighting at school for a thirteen year old? Richard Graham : Yes, it can be. Disorderly conduct for fighting would be, at least in Ohio, treated as a delinquency filing. It's a relatively minor charge, and at least the Ohio courts would attempt to resolve that charge without official court action. What are your thoughts about the incident with the kids in Idaho. I live there, and feel for them all :(
