#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
So let's jump into our discussion regarding Juveniles As Victims and Juveniles As Offenders

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Juvenile crime has made national headlines here in Chicago with recent rash of carjackings

"Police arrest 11-year-old boy in Chicago carjacking, investigate his role in several others"

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Let's take on a THINKING CHALLENGE: Are today's youth some of the most violent of all time?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Are you familiar with the theory of the Juvenile Super-Predator from the early 90s?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
If you're unfamiliar, check out this video from @PBS @retroreport: Retro Report on PBS, Correcting the Myth of the Superpredator

pbs.org/video/retro-re…

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
In short, the #SuperPredator theory presupposed that youth at the start of this century would become the most violent of all time

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Crime here in Chicago sparked much of the discussion and debate

11-year-old ‘Yummy’ Sandifer was on the run for killing a teenage girl. Then he was killed by his own gang in a Chicago story that shocked the nation 25 years ago

chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/…

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
We have to acknowledge that Chicago's homicide rate doesn't tell a positive story. Looking at the Chicago 2021 murder rate #CRJ107

wbez.org/stories/at-sum
The fear of juvenile crime reached new heights in the past couple of decades

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
This fear remains high despite falling juvenile crime rates over the past ten years

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Today, we will explore the ways in which juvenile crime is measured and the extent of juvenile crime and victimization in the United States

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Measuring juvenile crime in the United States is extremely difficult.

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
The juvenile justice system is decentralized; each jurisdiction maintains separate records and collects information differently

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Record keeping in the juvenile justice system is still subject to confidentiality and sealing restrictions in many locations

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
FACT OR FICTION: If you commit a crime as a juvenile, your record is officially sealed for the remainder of your life.

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Accurate records concerning juveniles who commit delinquent acts are difficult and sometimes impossible to obtain

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
There are many options for dealing with juveniles who come into the system.

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Since there are innumerable placements, it is difficult to count where juveniles have been sent. And of course, the statistics that are collected are always dated due to the difficulty in collecting them

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
FACT OR FICTION: Secure detention is a good "wake-up" call for youth and will help them correct their behavior

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
The most common official measure of crime in the United States is the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR).

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
This is a statistical report compiled by the FBI from law enforcement agencies across the country

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
The UCR numbers underestimate the total amount of crime in the United States. This is referred to as the dark figure of crime

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
THINKING CHALLENGE: Have you been the victim of a crime, but NOT reported it to the police?

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
THINKING CHALLENGE: In regards to the dark figure of crime, why don't people report crimes to the police?

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
The National Crime Victimization Survey (#NCVS) is a national survey of households on the subject of victimization and is conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
THINKING CHALLENGE: When you receive a call from an individual taking the survey, do you answer honestly & accurately?

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Thank you so warmly to @bpridgeo
and @Karrasamelia5 for frequently RT-ing my survey questions. It really brings life to the discussion & certainly makes the effort to share the material worth the time. I cannot say thank you enough!
The NCVS provides a better picture of the dark figure of crime than the UCR.

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
A third technique for measuring youth crime is the self-report statistics

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Self-report surveys measure offenses not known to the police and the number of times an individual commits offenses

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
So the big question I want to pose: “Why did the juvenile crime drop so much in the last decade?”

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency is the primary federal agency responsible for addressing issues of juvenile crime @OJPOJJDP

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
Overall, there are various suggestions why juvenile crime has dropped over the past ten years

#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency
THINKING CHALLENGE: Of the social media platforms, which has most potential to be risky for adolescents?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Give me a like if you remember everyone's top 8 friend here ...

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
THINKING CHALLENGE: At more intriguing, at what AGE do you believe it's appropriate for an adolescent to start using social media?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
In this discussion, we are going to examine the variables, that by their presence or absence, increase the youth's likelihood of engaging in delinquency.

We will test your thoughts on these variables! #CRJ107 #MoraineValley
THINKING CHALLENGE:

What biological factor is greater associated with delinquency?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Within the family, who is more likely to engage in delinquency?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Of the biological and genetic risk factors, which do you feel is the most influential?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Which factor do you believe is the most effective in safeguarding against delinquency?

-Ethnic group is family-centered
-Ethnic group offers identity and role definition
-Ethnicity is valued by juvenile
-Ethnic group values conventional social norms

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Family is often the center place for all of the above risk factors, genetics are shared, cultural values are passed down. But family is a dynamic concept.

What does family mean to you? #MoraineValley #CRJ107
There is no definitive manual on parenting, but what aspect of parenting is most associated with delinquency?

-Parent has drug or alcohol problem
-Parental rejection
-Low presence of parents as social resources
-Low parental monitoring, discipline, and supervision

#CRJ107
THINKING CHALLENGE: How many evenings a week should an adolescent stay home to engage in family activities?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Parent's personalities can be extremely influential well beyond parenting style. What aspects of a parent's personality has the most influence on their child's behavior?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Families are unique, dynamic, ever changing group. Of the family factors we've discussed, which do you think is most influential in shaping an adolescent's social values?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
THINKING CHALLENGE: At what age should we expect most adolescents to be capable of making mature, responsible decisions.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
THINKING CHALLENGE: What might be some of the most effective (and practical!) ways to assist adolescents increase their self-esteem?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
Now ... how close were your answers for most adolescents compared to your own life experiences?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
