Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II The Present Status Of Juvenile Courts The juvenile court has gradually developed for itself standards of legislation, of personnel, of administration, of case work:1 Very, very few courts, however, live up to these standards, and fewer still have developed any consistent policy looking in a broad-visioned way toward the future of the court as part of an ideal child-caring system. The practical juvenile court worker may declare that this ideal is impossible; that local expediency must govern policy entirely. The writer would contend in the first place that certain juvenile courts, like that of St. Louis, have found it feasible to combine the two; and, further, that a clear- cut ideal is of value even in a situation which forthe time being necessitates a policy contrary to it. 1 See, for example, Reports of the New York and Massachusetts Probation Commissions; Reports of the Louisville, St. Louis, and Chicago Juvenile Courts; The Delinquent Child and the Home, Breck- enridge and Abbott; Preventive Treatment of Neglected Children, H. H. Hart, ed., Part VI; and especially the Report of the Committee on Juvenile Courts and Probation of the National Probation Association. Let us, then, independently of the standards of method or case work involved in any particular kind of work undertaken by the courts, note for examination the various functions performed by different courts, and attempt to discriminate the essential from the accidental. In many juvenile courts the probation officers are empowered to make arrests and file their own complaints. These are excellent provisions for emergencies and for cases which are merely violations of probation. But some officers go to the extent of preferring to bring in their own cases, even where they are violations of law...

Download or read book New Possibilities for Juvenile Justice written by Willie James Webb and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has three enlightening sections regarding juvenile recidivism, administrative services and treatment methodologies. The first section is based on research, studies and analyses of the social characteristics of 40 randomly selected juvenile recidivists referred to the juvenile court over a ten year period. This study explores and analyzes the respective families, neighborhoods, schools, grade levels, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, mental health and the types and numbers of legal offenses that were committed by the repeat offenders. This study establishes a pattern and identifying social factors relating to causal factors contributing to their repetitious offensive acts and violations of the law. There are clearly predictive factors for juvenile repeat offenders that can be used to predict, control, prevent, control and reduce significantly, juvenile offenses and recidivism. The second section of this book explores essentials for effective administration for juvenile courts and other social service agencies in the community. All agencies, and especially human service agencies must be administratively and operationally healthy. They must not contribute to the demoralization of the staff who already face low morale challenges in treating and serving clients who are associated with substantial depressive pathologies. Specific personnel standards, policies and procedures are vital to optimize the effectiveness of the service providing staff. There are certain training essentials and requirements that center around competence, morality, professionalism and ethical standards that must be enforced in order to maintain an efficient, functional, healthy and safe work environment. If the service providing staff are not trained and treated well, it is doubtful that they can serve and treat their clients well. Treatment providers must be protected from administrative persecution and incompetence, especially when they have the responsibility to protect and restore their clients to health and stability. Intimidating, threatening and unsafe work environments retards and inhabits productivity. The third section of New Possibilities for Juvenile Justice enumerates a comprehensive list of factors associated with youth problems, failures in school, delinquent acts and law violations. The list is based on seasoned, experienced and knowledgeable probation officers with decades of training and experience. Also, the third section of this book provides an exploration and understanding of the ongoing cultural crisis and the serious adverse impact this crisis is having on America, its people and institutions. The social problems, reinforced by new ideologies and technology appear to be increasing more rapidly than answers and solutions to solve them. Transforming American youth into positive, law abiding, healthy and productive citizens is possible if the responsible, patriotic and enlightened leader- ship will utilize the artistic, scientific, ethical and transforming knowledge that is available. The information contained in this volume can be a significant beginning in that process of directions for youth transformation.l

History And Definition The function of probation has grown gradually through many years until it is now a definitely established factor in court procedure. It grew originally out of the practice of suspending sentences in cases in which the defendants had been convicted, and imprisonment manifestly promised to be of little or no avail. The courts, instead of executing the sentence prescribed by law, had the right of indefinitely postponing it and releasing the defendants conditionally on good behavior, the understanding being that if they transgressed the law, they would be returned for sentence on the original conviction, but if they behaved, the sentence would be indefinitely postponed and they would be finally discharged. It naturally followed that during this period of conditional release, the court could require some record of the conduct of the persons so treated. Police authorities, parents, relatives, charity workers, or other persons, were requested to take an interest and report to the court the conduct and progress of the persons so released. The judge also required that those persons, children or adults, so released, should report to him. Out of this practice developed naturally the idea of appointing some person to give his or her whole time to the work, such a person to be paid out of public funds. In 1878 a statute was enacted providing for the appointment of such a special officer in Suffolk County, Boston, Mass., thus demonstrating that the idea had taken root. These officers were given the title of " probation officers" and the system of supervision of persons released after conviction has ever since been known as the "probation system." The juvenile court views the probation system...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Courts and Probation This volume is devoted to a consideration of the juvenile court and its administration. It is intended as a guide to judges, probation officers, and interested lay men. While the report is concerned with the juvenile court as it exists to-day, it may not be altogether out of place here to indicate the lines along which it is believed the court will develop. In its treatment of the child it has fully justified itself, though it has almost wholly failed in its treatment of the adult responsible for the child's condition. Heretofore the emphasis has been placed on the child in court; with a wider conception of the law it will in the future be placed on the family in court. In short, the court will undertake to deal more effectively with the family which produces the neglected or delinquent child, who is merely a factor in the larger and more complicated problem.

Download or read book Juvenile Justice written by Barry Krisberg and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juvenile justice policies have historically been built on a foundation of myths and misconceptions. Fear of young, drug-addled superpredators, concerns about immigrants and gangs, claims of gender biases, and race hostilities have influenced the public′s views and, consequently, the evolution of juvenile justice. These myths have repeatedly confused the process of rational policy development for the juvenile justice system. Juvenile Justice: Redeeming Our Children debunks myths about juvenile justice in order to achieve an ideal system that would protect vulnerable children and help build safer communities. Author Barry Krisberg assembles broad and up-to-date research, statistical data, and theories on the U.S. juvenile justice system to encourage effective responses to youth crime. This text gives a historical context to the ongoing quest for the juvenile justice ideal and examines how the current system of laws, policies, and practices came into place.Juvenile Justice reviews the best research-based knowledge on what works and what does not work in the current system. The book also examines failed juvenile justice policies and applies high standards of scientific evidence to seek new resolutions. This text helps students embrace the value of redemptive justice and serves as a springboard for the current generation to implement sounder social policies. Juvenile Justice is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying juvenile justice in Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Sociology. The book is also an excellent supplemental text for juvenile delinquency courses. About the AuthorBarry Krisberg, PhD has been President of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) since 1983.

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.
