6. Juvenile Crime in New South Wales Report: Crime Prevention Strategies Summary Increasingly, recognition is being given to the fact that crime is the result of complex changes in economic, social and cultural factors. Research is also consistently pointing to factors such as unemployment, dysfunctional families, child abuse, poor education, community breakdown, economic inequality and substance abuse as the main causes of crime.[1] Advocates of strategic crime prevention share a view that 'traditional' punitive measures have failed to curb crime in countries the world over. It is argued that the call by the 'law and order lobby' to increase police numbers and to impose longer and harsher sentences, although popular, has proven both ineffective and very expensive.[2] 6.1 Failure of Traditional Methods However, the fact remains that both the authorities and the public believe the rate juvenile crime to be excessive and after some time come to blame the policy of leniency. The response is a toughening of responses to juvenile offending, particularly the more serious offenders, but with a commensurate toughening down the scale. This continues until few lenient measures are available to authorities. "At this point, justice officials and the general public remain convinced that juvenile crime is at an exceptionally high level and justice officials often are forced to choose between harshly punishing juvenile offenders and doing nothing at all. The cycle has returned to where it started."[5]

Maddy Senate Minority Floor Leader The Honorable Willie L. Brown Jr. Speaker of the Assembly and Members of the Assembly The Honorable James Brulte Assembly Minority Floor Leader Dear Governor and Members of the Legislature: When police arrest 14- and 15-year-olds who shrug off cold-blooded, unprovoked murder as a rite of passage, the rational public response is fear and anger: How can we protect ourselves? How can we make them pay for what they have done? And then at the policy-making level, the secondary but more productive response of perplexity sets in: How did these children become settled in lives of unthinkingly vicious, violent crime? What can we do to prevent coming generations from repeating the pattern? The Little Hoover Commission has examined juvenile crime, its roots and its regulation in a seven-month study and has come to several key conclusions:

Case Studies in School Violence CLAJ Current Projects Panel on Juvenile Crime: Prevention, Treatment, and Control Connection to project scope, roster, and meetings (CPS system) Although juvenile crime rates have dropped since the mid-nineties, there is concern that growing numbers of youths in the population over the next several years may mean more youth crime. The development of effective response to juvenile crime one of the most pressing policy concerns facing the nation. With these considerations in mind, the Committee on Law and Justice and the Board on Children, Youth, and Families convened a Panel on Juvenile Crime: Prevention, Treatment, and Control. Over the course of 24-months, the panel has been examining the causes and pathways to juvenile crime and violence; the literature and data on the strengths and weaknesses of the juvenile justice system as an intervention and control process; and the nature of the youth population within the juvenile justice system. It also is looking at the literature on the short- and long-term effects of waiving juvenile cases to adult court, focusing on what is known about the deterrent effects of harsher dispositions on youthful criminality. The study is looking at both juvenile offending patterns and intervention options from a developmental perspective, meeting six times, holding workshops, and visiting facilities and programs for juvenile offenders. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U.S. Department of Justice requested the study. The Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program of the U.S. Department of Education and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation are providing additional support.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: LYNN BECKER OR JESSICA CATLIN JULY 11, 2001 PHONE: (202) 224-5653 BIDEN AND KOHL INTRODUCE JUVENILE CRIME PREVENTION AND CONTROL ACT OF 2001 Comprehensive Crime-Fighting Bill Teams Prevention and Enforcement Efforts WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Joe Biden (D-DE) and Herb Kohl (D-WI) today introduced the Juvenile Crime Prevention and Control Act of 2001, comprehensive prevention and enforcement legislation that will increase direct federal grants to local juvenile crime and delinquency prevention efforts. The bill would increase the authorization of Title V, the Community Prevention Grant program, to $250 million. Title V, which Kohl helped create in 1992, is a flexible program that permits each locality, through a local planning board of experts from the community, to determine how to best fight juvenile crime and delinquency. "This bill addresses the issues most important to our communities, to the police, to the teachers, to the social workers, and most importantly, to the at-risk children whom we need to help. The legislation does this by giving crime prevention programs the priority, attention, and funding they deserve while recognizing that enforcement programs are indispensable to safer communities," Kohl said. Studies prove that crime prevention programs mean less crime. For example, a RAND study found that crime prevention efforts were three times more cost-effective than increased punishment. A study of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters' mentoring program showed that participants were 46 percent less likely to use drugs, 27 percent less likely to use alcohol, 33 percent less likely to commit assault, and skipped 50 percent fewer days of school. And a University of Wisconsin study of 64 after-school programs found that participating children became better students and developed improved conflict resolution skills; in addition, vandalism decreased at one third of the schools that participated in the programs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: LYNN BECKER OR JESSICA CATLIN July 20, 2001 PHONE: (202) 224-5653 KOHL SECURES INCREASE IN JUVENILE CRIME PREVENTION FUNDING WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Herb Kohl announced today that he secured $130 million for the popular Title V Crime Prevention Grants Program in the bill that funds the Department of Justice for FY 2002. While the Title V program has been funded at $95 million for the last two years, more than two-thirds of that funding has been set aside for non-prevention efforts. Increasing the Title V funding to $130 million will ensure that crime prevention programs supported by that measure receive the funding that they have been promised. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved this funding late yesterday. Kohl is a member of the committee and its Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State Appropriations, and he helped establish the Title V program in 1992. "Title V has proven to be a successful program that encourages investment, collaboration, and long-range prevention planning by local communities. We've made a commitment to this program, and it's time the federal government lived up to that commitment instead of diverting this important prevention money to other initiatives. I'm pleased the subcommittee has made this investment," Kohl said. Under the Title V program, each locality must establish prevention programs and contribute at least 50 cents for every federal dollar. The GAO has demonstrated that local governments match this federal funding almost dollar for dollar, nearly twice the contribution required by law.

Mission Statement The Guilford County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council envisions a community where its youth are well educated, healthy, law abiding, contributing members of society who respect the rights of others and themselves. About the JCPC In 1998, as a result of much hard work and planning, the Juvenile Justice Reform Act was passed. The Act mandated that the Juvenile Service Division of the Administrative Office of the Courts and the Division of Youth Services and Division of Human Services be merged to form a single office that would be directly administrated by the Governor. The "new" office of Juvenile Justice is more responsive and comprehensive in policy and planning. The intent of the General Assembly was to prevent juveniles who are at risk from becoming delinquent. The primary intent of this part is to develop community-based alternatives to training schools and to provide community-based delinquency and substance abuse prevention strategies and programs. Also, it was the intent of the General Assembly to provide noninstructional alternatives that will protect the community and the juveniles. Additionally, the Juvenile Justice Reform Act required county commissioners to appoint a new Juvenile Crime Prevention Council to enhance and replace all existing Youth Services Advisory Councils (CBA Boards).

Juvenile Crime Prevention Plan 1999 Data Report-PDF File EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1995 the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 establishing Local Public Safety Coordinating Councils. The LPSCC is charged with developing two plans, one for the expenditure of state funds in Benton County (attachment R) and the second is a plan designed to prevent criminal involvement by youth. These plans are to be developed in consultation with the Local Commission on Children and Families. In Benton County, the Willamette Criminal Justice Council has been designated as the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council. In order to respond effectively to juvenile crime and other youth problems, the planning approach must address primary, secondary and tertiary efforts at prevention. Operational definitions of each are: · Primary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have never engaged in criminal activity. · Secondary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have committed offenses and who are under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Department to refrain from the commission of additional offenses. · Tertiary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have committed offenses and who are under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Youth Authority to refrain from committing additional offenses.
