Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juvenile detention facilities confine more youths than do any other type of institution in the United States. Essentially jails for juveniles who have been arrested and are awaiting trial, these centers tend to be overcrowded, inadequately staffed, and expensive to operate. Juvenile justice officials and state and local policymakers throughout the country are desperately trying to determine the proper use of these facilities and, more important, how to bring detention systems under control. The eleven essays in this collection assess today's juvenile detention system, bringing to light problems and inefficiencies and suggesting strategies for improving conditions and eliminating these problems. The authors of these essays pull together data on national trends in detention policies and practices and examine specific cases to paint a grim picture of a system badly in need of reform. They also provide practical summaries of reform targets and strategies, and case studies of successful reform attempts, thus offering clear and much needed guidance toward possible solutions to the nation's juvenile detention crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a distinct, yet transient, period of development between childhood and adulthood characterized by increased experimentation and risk-taking, a tendency to discount long-term consequences, and heightened sensitivity to peers and other social influences. A key function of adolescence is developing an integrated sense of self, including individualization, separation from parents, and personal identity. Experimentation and novelty-seeking behavior, such as alcohol and drug use, unsafe sex, and reckless driving, are thought to serve a number of adaptive functions despite their risks. Research indicates that for most youth, the period of risky experimentation does not extend beyond adolescence, ceasing as identity becomes settled with maturity. Much adolescent involvement in criminal activity is part of the normal developmental process of identity formation and most adolescents will mature out of these tendencies. Evidence of significant changes in brain structure and function during adolescence strongly suggests that these cognitive tendencies characteristic of adolescents are associated with biological immaturity of the brain and with an imbalance among developing brain systems. This imbalance model implies dual systems: one involved in cognitive and behavioral control and one involved in socio-emotional processes. Accordingly adolescents lack mature capacity for self-regulations because the brain system that influences pleasure-seeking and emotional reactivity develops more rapidly than the brain system that supports self-control. This knowledge of adolescent development has underscored important differences between adults and adolescents with direct bearing on the design and operation of the justice system, raising doubts about the core assumptions driving the criminalization of juvenile justice policy in the late decades of the 20th century. It was in this context that the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) asked the National Research Council to convene a committee to conduct a study of juvenile justice reform. The goal of Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach was to review recent advances in behavioral and neuroscience research and draw out the implications of this knowledge for juvenile justice reform, to assess the new generation of reform activities occurring in the United States, and to assess the performance of OJJDP in carrying out its statutory mission as well as its potential role in supporting scientifically based reform efforts.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juvenile correctional officers (JCOs) are entrusted with the stressful and often thankless job of providing care to our nation's troubled youth. They must embrace the ideals of youth service while practicing the role of a correctional officer. These two standards are often conflicting. However, their interactions with youth are important because these adolescents will one day become active members of society. JCOs can help determine if they are thriving participants or burdens to the public. Thus, it is important that the individuals given this important responsibility are not only capable but also successful. As they become weary and burnt out, they start to have a negative instead of positive impact on the youth under their care which only contributes to the failure of our already struggling juvenile justice system. The question of this research project is whether a list of characteristics found among successful juvenile correctional officers in Ohio can be ascertained. There are three primary questions of this research. The first asks if a list of characteristics of a successful juvenile correctional officer can be ascertained. The second question asked by this research is whether experience or education is valued in juvenile correctional officers. The final question asked by this research is whether the age, sex, or years of experience affect the opinions of juvenile detention center supervisors in regards to what qualities they value in their juvenile correctional officers. In order to answer these questions, surveys were sent to each of the 40 juvenile detention center supervisors in Ohio. A total of 27 surveys were received for a response rate of 65.7%. Responses indicated that professionalism, teamwork, and attendance/promptness are considered to be the most important factors of successful juvenile correctional officers. Additionally, experience is valued higher over education. Based on the characteristics of the respondents, only a few patterns could be ascertained among their answers. While all supervisors rated professionalism highly, those in their 30s were more likely to rate it as the most important characteristic among juvenile correctional officers. Men were also more likely to rate professionalism as the most important characteristic. Another difference was found in regards to how men and women rate empathy. Male respondents were more likely than female respondents to rate empathy higher as an important characteristic. This study was not a task analysis of juvenile correctional officers in Ohio and is not meant to document hiring criteria per se. The findings, however, do suggest issues and personal characteristics that could be part of background investigations and/or training programs.
