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.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Minority race youths and other youths admit in self reports to similar overall rates of legal offenses, but there is little doubt that minority youths are more likely to be confined. Similarly, females are more likely than males to be processed in the juvenile justice system and to be confined for status offenses even though male juveniles' self-reported offending rate is 2.3 times that for female juveniles. In response to such discrepancies, the 1989 re-authorization of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act required that each state analyze the disproportionate confinement of minority, especially racial minority, youths. Disproportionate here means merely statistical over-representation compared with census records of youths race/ethnicity/sex for each area. This study was undertaken to comply with that act"--Executive Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth of color have been overrepresented throughout the juvenile justice system for decades. Despite being the focus of Congressional legislation, juvenile justice coalition and advocate reports, and state and local jurisdictional reform efforts this issue persists and is increasing. This project utilizes various literature sources including: books, academic journals, reports/articles. The main analysis is built from the results of an interview conducted by Star County (a pseudonym) staff in 2008, to identify perceptions of past committee members and begin revamping their reform efforts. The work of reducing Disproportionate Minority Confinement (DMC) is an on-going progression, which is never totally complete. Although it may be impossible to eliminate DMC altogether, it has been proven that certain interventions can help to balance the disproportion. Solutions to this problem are localized and specific to the population being examined.
