Extractions: November 1998 Juvenile Justice System The problem of how to deal with juvenile offenders has plagued society since before the establishment of the first juvenile court in 1899. Prior to that development, delinquent juveniles were processed through the adult court and often received harsh punishment. By 1945, separate juvenile courts existed in every state. Like the adult system, throughout most of the 20th century, the juvenile justice system was based upon a medical/rehabilitative model. The original goals of the juvenile court were to investigate, diagnose, and prescribe treatment for offenders, not to adjudicate guilt or fix blame. The court operated under the doctrine of parens patriae that meant that the state would step in and act as a parent on behalf of a misbehaving juvenile. Proceedings were informal and a juvenile court judge had an enormous amount of discretion in the disposition of juvenile cases, much like the discretion afforded judges in adult criminal settings until the 1970s. Although institutionalization of many juvenile offenders occurred in the first decades of the 1900s, extensive use of probation for juveniles existed as well. As it does today, probation provided a middle ground disposition for judges between release and placement in an institution. By 1927, probation programs for juvenile offenders existed in almost every state.

Extractions: November 1998 INTRODUCTION Crime is as old as civilization itself. How best to handle the complex problem of criminal behavior has been and will continue to be of paramount concern to those interested in safer communities. Increasingly, juvenile and criminal justice professionals are looking for alternatives to the traditional standard sentencing practices of straight probation and incarceration and the programs associated with these practices. In some cases these professionals are creating innovative programming while others are looking to the past for anything that "works." This report is a compilation of information on nontraditional and innovative programs and alternative sentencing practices from across Kansas, the nation, and even the world. It is designed to aid criminal justice professionals and policymakers in their search for ways to make communities safer. Before turning to the innovative practices and specific program information, it is important to look at the history of the criminal and juvenile justice systems in the United States and at the events that led to the present search for nontraditional sentences and more effective programs. Below are brief descriptions of the adult criminal justice system and the juvenile justice system.

Extractions: CRIMINAL OFFENDERS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES People with cognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities are a small but increasing portion of offenders in the criminal justice system. Generally this population is referred to as being mentally retarded or developmentally disabled (MR/DD), though the second term is now preferred. People with developmental disabilities are estimated to comprise 2% to 3% of the general population but represent 4% to 10% of the prison population, and an even higher percentage of those in juvenile facilities and in jails. Officials believe the problem is likely to worsen over the next several years, as the prevalence of MR/DD in the general California population is increasing. As a result of a CPRC-funded study to explore the nature and extent of this disproportionate incarceration rate, I estimate conservatively that 15,518 Californians with developmental disabilities are currently in jail, in prison, on probation, or parole. My findings also indicated that California has few programs or policies to accommodate the special needs of people with developmental disabilities, who often lack access to the legal protections that exist for others. Studies show that many if not most people with MR/DD who become involved with justice authorities have mild disabilities that are not easily recognized by people who are not specifically trained to recognize them. As a result, most of them proceed from arrest through adjudication without any special accommodations to help negotiate the complex justice system. Although state law requires people with hearing impairments to have language signers and non-English-speakers to have interpreters in their dealings with the justice system, similar assistance to people with developmental disabilities is not required.

Extractions: Policy Summary As an academic community, the University calls its members to explore knowledge, build learning relationships, and take responsibility for individual and social life. Alcohol and other drugs can endanger this life-style. Abuse of alcohol and use of illicit drugs causes damage to health, threatens safety of self and others, interferes with academic and societal performance, and often leads to legal and financial problems. Even in a situation of legal and normal use, alcohol can increase the likelihood of injury, property damage, and deterioration of a healthful life-style. To protect the privileges of all members of the University community, the University prohibits the unlawful possession, use, manufacture or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol on the University premises or as part of any University related activities. The University wants each student to be aware of the applicable legal sanctions under local, state or federal law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. Students may find copies of these laws in the library.* Here is a summary of University policy.

The productivity of the Commonwealth's work force, one of Virginia's greatest assets, could be undermined by the effects of alcohol and other drugs in the workplace. The adverse effects of alcohol and other drugs create a serious threat to the welfare of fellow employees and to Virginia's citizens. The Commonwealth, therefore, adopts the following policy and procedures to address alcohol and other drug problems in the public work force. The Commonwealth of Virginia's Policy 1.05 on Alcohol and Other Drugs states that the following acts by employees are prohibited: Employee's Name

Hong Kong Correctional Services The primary aim of the century and a half years old Department is to look after some 11,000 inmates under our care by providing a safe and healthy environment in which they can rehabilitate and prepare themselves in their eventual return to the society. We also provide adult prisoners with gainful employment so as to instill good working habits and, at the same time alleviate boredom, which is essential in maintaining good order in our 23 penal institutions. Additionally, all young inmates undergo educational programmes or vocational training so that they can better equip themselves in seeking employment after release. Korean Institute of Criminology

Extractions: Youth Criminal Justice Act The Government of Canada is working to establish a renewed youth justice system - one that commands respect, fosters values such as accountability and responsibility and makes it clear that criminal behaviour will lead to meaningful consequences. A renewed youth justice system must also make a distinction between violent and non-violent crime and ensure that youth face consequences that reflect the seriousness of their offence. Finally, it must make every effort possible to prevent youth crime and to support youth, if they do become involved in crime, to turn their lives around. Establishing a youth justice system that promotes accountability and is more effective and reflective of current social values is key to regaining public confidence. These are the basic principles on which the Government of Canada has based its strategy for the renewal of youth justice. The strategy focuses on three key areas that work together to protect the public: preventing youth crime; ensuring there are meaningful consequences that encourage accountability for offences committed by youth; and improving rehabilitation and reintegration for youth who will return to the community. Since the release of the Youth Justice Strategy in May, 1998, the Government of Canada has consulted widely with Canadians on specific proposals for a new youth justice system. These included a series of round-table discussions with experts across Canada, as well as consultations with the provinces, victims, police, the legal community, municipal representatives, community organizations and many others. These discussions have helped in developing a new law, the
