I hope you'll join me at 2pm to look at Juvenile Corrections
THINKING CHALLENGE: Does the Juvenile Justice System have a responsibility to keep kids out of a punitive system?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Let's start by testing our knowledge of teens today. Do you believe we can better understand age groups by generational differences?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
What generation do you most closely identify?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
THINKING CHALLENGE: Which generation are characterized as pragmatic and financially-minded?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
THINKING CHALLENGE: Which generation are experiencing many factors contributing to their mental health challenges?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
THINKING CHALLENGE: Which generation are thought to be politically progressive — even those on the right?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Would you believe, according to my research, that each of those characterizations were talking about the same generation?
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Yes, this WHOLE time we've been talking about #GenerationZ, today's teens
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
If I caught you off-guard, don't worry! Generation Alpha is the next group, our kiddos born 2010 & after, so we've still got time to get this figured out!
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
What's the relevance to Juvenile Delinquency & examining the juvenile justice system? Well, we do have to wonder if our 100 year old system still best serves the needs of our ever-evolving youth.
#CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Last week we discussed the goals of the juvenile justice system, now let's examine alternative sanctions to keep youth in the community
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
A whole host of facilities, programs, and processes exist to deal with at-risk juveniles, delinquent juveniles, and juveniles who are under some type of court-ordered sanction
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Community corrections is a broad term used to capture a variety of correctional alternatives with one common characteristic:
They are LESS restrictive than institutional corrections
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
There are multitudes of public and private correctional agencies and social service agencies that deal exclusively with juveniles.
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Myth - or - Reality:
The majority of individuals who cycle in and out of state prisons and county jails have committed relatively low-level, nonviolent offenses
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Myth - or - Reality:
Effective alternatives to incarceration can actually reduce costs at the same time they provide critical services to individuals, such as behavioral health treatment, that can help reduce recidivism
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Myth - or - Reality:
In Illinois, thousands of individuals are ordered to be in community supervision programs.
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Myth - or - Reality:
When implemented in alignment with evidence-based practices, effective and fair community supervision leads to permanent exit pathways from the criminal justice system.
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
There are a variety of factors that can potentially influence whether a juvenile is committed to an out-of-home placement or sentenced to some form of community corrections
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Of the following factors, which do you believe most influential in deciding if a youth offender should be eligible for community corrections?
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Probation is a sanction where the court releases a youth to a parent or other guardian to live in the community under certain rules and conditions
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
MAYBE Safe For Work: Understanding Probation v. Parole - Who's Line Is It Anyway style:
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Many juveniles receive deferred adjudication. This is a situation in which a youth agrees to follow certain probation conditions without going to court
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
One specialized type of juvenile probation increases the level and amount of supervision of juveniles in the community
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Intensive supervision #probation (#ISP) programs are characterized by high levels of contact and intervention by the probation officer or caseworker, small caseloads, and strict conditions of compliance
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
An interesting form of probation blends the supervisory capacity of juvenile probation and the school system.
School-based probation is a model where the probation officer works and is housed within the walls of the school
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Probation Officers wear MANY hats in assisting juveniles
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
he confining of juveniles to their homes is referred to as house arrest. It may involve electronic monitoring with an electronic tracking device
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Alternative sanctions are those that provide a means to hold juveniles accountable outside traditional mechanisms such as probation or incarceration
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) was established by the Crime Reduction Act to provide financial incentives to local jurisdictions for programs that allow diversion of individuals from state prisons by providing community-based services

Alternative sanctions are those that provide a means to hold juveniles accountable outside traditional mechanisms such as probation or incarceration
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Why are juveniles removed from their homes?
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Programs vary from removal from the home, exposure to the outdoors, to preparation for adulthood
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
An important programming distinction is whether the basis for participation is determinate v. indeterminate sentencing
#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #CommunityBasedCorrections
Random Fun Fact: Did you know there were also Determinate & Indeterminate ... tomatoes!?
Now you know. Told you it was worth it to read this far!

THINKING CHALLENGE: What should be the goal of JV Corrections?
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Currently, do you believe that juvenile incarceration sentencing policies are ...
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
In 2015, just over 48,000 juvenile offenders were in residential treatment facilities on any given day. The trends in residential placement mirror the trends in juvenile arrests and court cases.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Detention rates have been ____________ over the past two decades.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Juvenile crime rates have been ____________ over the past two decades.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Detention rates have decreased on the order of about 70 percent in the past two decades, and cases handled by the courts are at historic lows.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
As we examine juvenile corrections, here is an ABC Primetime look at incarcerated youth: "To their advocates, they're kids. To their critics, they’re monsters"
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Privatization of corrections is a controversial issue. Should juveniles be housed in private facilities?
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Institutional facilities are secure facilities including: ~detention centers,
~orientation and diagnostic assessment centers,
~transfer facilities,
~boot camps,
~youth ranches and camps,
~institutions and state schools,
~and transitional facilities.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Juvenile #detention facilities are short-term secure units that house juveniles awaiting court hearings or adjudications.
They are similar to adult #jails in their day-to-day operations.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
In this episode The Proper People check out an abandoned detention center completely taken over by nature. @TheProperPeople
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Assessment facilities are secure facilities that are responsible for orienting the #juvenile to the expectations of the #correctionalsystem in that particular state.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
A recent and popular juvenile facility is the juvenile #bootcamp. It is a secure facility that emphasizes military-style discipline, physical training, and an extremely regimented schedule. @CBSMiami
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Do para-military style boot camps work?
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Youth ranches and camps are facilities that operate similarly to state institutions with one exception:
The atmosphere is more like a year-round summer camp than a maximum-security facility.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Teen camps have become a staple of America's youth rehabilitation system. Does this method work?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
In general, there are four primary goals in corrections:
~ rehabilitation,
~ deterrence,
~ incapacitation,
~ and retribution
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Let's not omit reintegration as most juvenile offenders will re-enter society after the duration of their sentence
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Retribution is based upon debt of some kind that must be repaid; and the offender deserves to be punished
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Society does believe in punishment, that causing discomfort or pain will force a change in behavior
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
#Rehabilitation is defined as methods of treatment and counseling used to reform juvenile offenders so that they will return to society in a constructive rather than a destructive way
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
#Deterrence is arranging conditions in the law and corrections such that juveniles are aware of the risks and consequences involved in committing crimes
If the risks and consequences are greater than the rewards, juveniles will choose not to commit crime
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Incapacitation is the taking of a juvenile out of the community so that he or she is prevented from committing additional crimes.
It means locking up a person so that he or she is incapacitated from causing any more harm
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
One of the primary goals of juvenile institutional #corrections is #education.
Educational programs in juvenile facilities often serve as the core program, consuming the largest portion of time
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Types of correctional education available include:
~ correctional industry and vocational training,
~ specialized treatment and programs,
~ and programs for serious and repeat juvenile delinquents.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Specialized treatment includes:
~ transactional analysis,
~ reality therapy,
~ psychotherapy,
~ behavior modification,
~ guided group interaction,
~ positive peer culture,
~ and drug and alcohol treatment
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Is it possible to rehabilitate in a punitive environment?
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Programs for serious & repeat offenders focus on developing an integrated theoretical framework for guiding intensive supervision of chronic juvenile offenders
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
THINKING CHALLENGE: Is Intensive Supervision appropriate for juveniles?
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Juveniles' inmate society in which the strong take advantage of the weak.
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
The quality of life for male residents is extremely problematic. There is a high rate of staff involvement in the sexual victimization of residents

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Suicide is an incredible challenge and extremely problematic in juvenile institutions
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
Detention centers often provide the first opportunity to screen youth for suicide risk and to provide interventions, yet most facilities do not perform adequate screening for emergent risk
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
In 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. By 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one

The overall rate of sexual victimization reported by youth declined from 9.5% in 2012 to 7.1% in 2018
#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp
There is a systematic tolerance of those offenses by facilities, state agencies, and even federal oversight mechanisms
