New Jersey Kids Count Report Card 2011

Remarks from Cecilia Zalkind, Executive Director, Advocates for Children of New Jersey March 2011 “New Jersey children fared worse on seven of the 15 indicators, better on four and have seen no change on the remaining four.

All four areas in which gains were made were the focus of sustained, collective efforts to address a problem. Thanks to those efforts, fewer New Jersey infants died before their first birthday, fewer juveniles were arrested, more children were enrolled in nursery school or preschool and fewer children were without healthcare coverage.

Unfortunately, New Jersey’s children lost ground in seven key areas. More children were living in families who earned too little to buy clothes, food and other necessities. These same families continued to face rising housing costs, meaning they had less money to meet higher expenses.

On the health front, fewer children received immunizations and fewer women received early prenatal care. The good news is that fewer children were uninsured-most likely a result of our continued efforts to enroll children in NJ FamilyCare, the state’s health insurance program.

New Jersey also saw a slight drop in the percentage of youth graduating on time from high school, although our graduation rate remains one of the highest in the country. In addition there was a small increase in the percentage of children who were abused again after they came to the attention of the state’s child protections system-a fact that should be examined in the state’s ongoing efforts to reform the child protection system.

Unchanged was the percentage of children receiving school breakfast- a critical measure of child nutrition on which New Jersey continues to rank among the worst in the nation. School lunch participation rates were also unchanged, as were births to teens and the academic achievement gap between students in low-income families and their peers growing up in wealthier families.”

Monmouth County Juvenile Detention Alternatives

There were 41 juveniles on the Home Detention Electronic Monitoring Program in 2011, which was a decrease of 3 participants from 2010. In addition to the Home Detention Electronic Monitoring Program, the Monmouth County Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives administers the House Arrest–A and House Arrest-B Programs and the Electronic Monitoring Expansion Program. The aggregate participants for all programs in 2011 were 120 juveniles (113 new admissions and 7 carried over from 2010).

There were also 120 program participants on juvenile detention alternatives in 2010 however the breakdown by program differed slightly. In 2010 there were 48 juveniles on the Home Detention Electronic Monitoring Program compared to 41 in 2011. House Arrest B had 43 participants in 2010 and 31 in 2011 and House Arrest A had 19 clients in 2010 compared to 26 in 2011. The Electronic Monitoring Expansion Program (EME) GPS/Wireless had 10 juveniles in 2010 (one juvenile from the MHA contract and 9 juveniles with the Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives) and increased to 22 in 2011.

Monmouth County Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives operates a Home Detention/Electronic Monitoring Program that serves juveniles referred by the Monmouth Vicinage, Family Division Judiciary. The County of Monmouth funds the Home Detention Program. The Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives oversees all youth placed in the continuum of detention alternatives (as listed below). They ensure that the youth appears in court, as well as address program non compliance. The Division of Detention Alternatives is the primary contact for the program directors to notify in the event of non-compliance and/or problems with the youth.

House Arrest is a detention alternative utilized at the Judge’s discretion. It allows a juvenile to be released from the detention center to a parent or guardian under specific restrictions. It also offers an option to the Judge when a juvenile appears before him on a serious charge, who is not retained, to allow the juvenile to remain at home without posing a threat to the community. The juvenile is not allowed to leave the home without a parent or guardian except to attend school or work. The local Police Department is notified of the juvenile’s specific House Arrest conditions. The juvenile and his/her family are informed any violation of the House Arrest conditions will result in the juvenile’s arrest and possible return to the Youth Detention Center.

¾ House Arrest A: Supervision is primarily the responsibility of the youth’s parent/caregiver. DA staff will have bi-weekly face to face contacts and weekly phone contact for House Arrest A. Youth may leave the house to go to school, work, and all other approved activities with the company of a parent/caregiver. There is not program capacity in terms of the number of youth served. The expected average LOS on House Arrest A is 45-60 days.

¾ House Arrest B: House Arrest A plus daily random phone contacts and weekly face to face contacts conducted by the Department of Human Services/Division of Juvenile Detention

46 Alternative staff throughout the day. Up to 4 random calls per day -If youth is compliant, phone calls may be reduced over time.

Home Detention Program (HDP) is a detention alternative program utilized at the Judge’s discretion. It affords the juvenile to be released from the detention center, under the supervision of the Home Detention Program Officer, to return home on an electronic monitor. The juvenile is monitored 24 hours a day through an electronic monitoring bracelet. The juvenile is given “windows” of time which are pre-documented as specific timeframes he/she will be out of the home to attend school, organized sports, church etc.. The juvenile must be in their home at all other times. Special requests may be made to the HDP Officer for additional windows for family related functions. These additional timeframes are at the discretion of the HDP Officer. The juvenile’s behavior, attitude and level of supervision while exercising the “window” will all be deciding factors. A violation of the Home Detention Program could result in the immediate return of the juvenile to the detention center based on the severity of the violation.

Electronic Monitoring (EM) Expansion –GPS/Wireless EM The goal of the Electronic Monitoring (EM) Expansion program is to provide electronic supervision that allows juveniles to remain in the community as opposed to being incarcerated in the youth detention center. Members of the Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives rotate after hours on call to provide 24 hour a day 7 day per week coverage to respond to municipal police departments to install GPS/Wireless ankle units for juveniles deemed eligible by the court in lieu of secure detention. The Family Court Intake Officer utilizes the Risk Screening Tool to determine eligibility. Initially the youth is placed on a GPS unit and is required to attend a court hearing on the next business day, which at that time will have a wireless cellular ankle unit installed for electronic monitoring for approximately 3-5 days pending screening for placement on the traditional landline Home Detention EM program.

What types of stationhouse adjustments has your police department utilized to handle first time juvenile offenders who have committed minor juvenile delinquency offenses?

¾ We use a combination of essays and letters of apology. ¾ Writing essays on why what they did was wrong. ¾ Essay written Juvenile Bureau. ¾ Program with Prevention First.

93 ¾ Program in Boys and Girls Club. ¾ We often use Community service, essay, letter of apology as primary. We also back this up with maintaining passing or better grades in school and following all rules and requests at home by parents. ¾ Essay; license revocation by parents; letters of apology; counseling; restitution to victim. ¾ Essays; community service. ¾ Reasonable discipline, chores and/or rules handed down from the parent/Guardian for one (1) year. ¾ Registering and completing the “Y.E.S. Program” within three (3) weeks. ¾ Understanding that the juvenile cannot be arrested for any other criminal matters for a period of one (1) year from the date of the SHA. ¾ Any criminal arrest that occurs within this one (1) year period must be reported to the Eatontown Police Dept. Juvenile Division immediately, and as a result, will null and void this S.H.A. contract. Therefore, the criminal complaint from the current matter, as well as the new complaint, will both be sent to a formal Juvenile Court in Freehold, NJ. ¾ Understanding that the juvenile is immediately banned from the entire property of the Monmouth Mall for one (1) year. This includes the restaurants, the movie theater and the parking lots. The ONLY exception to this requirement is that the juvenile may go to the Mall only when in the immediate company of an adult parent/guardian. ¾ The accused juvenile must write a detailed apology letter to the business/victim of this incident, which is due within one (1) week from the SHA. ¾ Curfew/School Grades and Attendance ¾ Cases are referred to Youth Guidance or the local JJC ¾ Community Service, AA/NA Meetings, Restitution; Prison Education Program ¾ Essays on what was learned by JV through experience. Letters of apology from JV to victims/officers. Restitution to victims in cases of minor criminal mischief. Community service performed at police station or appropriate location pertaining to offense. ¾ Community Service with the town’s DPW, clean up areas they vandalized, write essays and apology letters. ¾ Community Service ¾ Essays, Apology letters and restitution ¾ From letters of apologies, to restitution, to community service ¾ Essays, parental punishment ¾ We only have them promise not to consume alcohol while under age. All of our station house adjustments are from youth outside of our community. Most of them are from outside of our county. We have only SHA’ed for municipal ordinance possession or consumption of alcohol while under age. ¾ Maintain grades, curfew, Letters to victims. ¾ Word essays and programs ¾ The offenses that have been handled by this department where so minor a letter of apology and a parent/child contract was usually all that was required. This department has a standing agreement with the Monmouth County Library and any community service requirements give to the juvenile can be met there. ¾ Our Department utilizes the Stationhouse Adjustment Prevention and Education Program (SHAPE). Since many of our arrests are for under age consumption of alcohol, the SHAPE program has been a tremendous asset for both the offender and

94 the Spring Lake Heights Police Department. In addition, I have also requested offenders to assist with various foundations that hold awareness or charity type of functions (MS Walk, Breast Cancer Walk). ¾ They are made to write essays, apology letters and do community service at WLBPD. If it involves alcohol and they are residents of West Long Branch, Oceanport or Long Branch, they are sent for a free substance abuse evaluation conducted by the Monmouth Coastal Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse. ¾ Clear Cars, work for the Street Dept. ¾ Write Essays ¾ Write Essays ¾ Follow parents guidelines ¾ Borough ordinance or local violations eg..curfew, alcohol in public. ¾ Trespassing ¾ Disorderly conduct ¾ Community Service, working on clean-ups thru Dept. of Recreation. ¾ Attend Court sessions. ¾ Restitution, community service, report writing. ¾ Written Apology; Return of Property; Essays; Youth Service Programs ¾ Essays; Community service; obey house rules; attend school regularly with no unexcused absences; be respectful; letter of apology. ¾ Community Service / clean-ups ¾ Fire Fly program; soup kitchen – Red Bank; Little Silver Fire Dept. ¾ Community Service, essays ¾ Community service, letters to victims, restitution. ¾ Not used in approximately one year. ¾ We exclusively utilize Keys to Inner Vision and Family Crisis Intervention for Stationhouse Adjustments as limited additional options exist. ¾ Community Service, Letters to Victims, restitution to victims, alcohol/drug abuse programs, involvement in school programs ¾ Community Service; curfew, essay ¾ Community; Essays ¾ We use Ms. Denise Wegeman from the Shore Community Alliance who is a Clinical Social Worker/Therapist. She meets with the JV for up to 5 hours and the parent or guardian. She then determines if there is a substance abuse issue. ¾ Most stationhouse adjustments in our jurisdiction are referred to the Wall Youth Center for counseling (Group and /or individual).

What types of local resources and community service would you like to see made available to your police department for stationhouse adjustments?

¾ A more structured form of community-based service. ¾ We do not have community service available in our department as a resource. This would be very helpful. ¾ I would like to see some specific types of counseling such as, anger management, shoplifting and drug programs. The Boys and Girls Club covers some counseling, but not specific problems.

95 ¾ I would like to see programs like scared straight available to us to schedule youth as well as possible mandatory counseling. ¾ A wider variety of alcohol and narcotic programs. ¾ A pool of organizations that will use juveniles as part of a community service program. ¾ Service work to be done for the college or the College Police Department. ¾ More projects that directly benefit our municipality, completed by the juvenile. ¾ On several occasions, parents ask what type of community service can their juvenile participate, I recommend volunteering at their local hospital, church, food pantry, etc. It would be helpful if there was a list of events that are county run that may need volunteers that we could have the juvenile participate in. ¾ Volunteer to Open Door/Food Banks. ¾ Cases are referred to Youth Guidance or the local JCC-resources have been working out great. ¾ More community service options insurance liability issues that prevents community service in some places. ¾ More alcohol-based education programs that need to be attended and completed by JV as possession/consumption of alcohol remains most frequent offense of first time offenders. ¾ None at this time. ¾ Maintenance at the police department. Landscape, painting, general up keep. ¾ We need supervised locations, with work to be completed for community service. ¾ Groups to have juveniles work at for community service. ¾ Scheduled events. Clean ups etc. ¾ None, in Ocean Twp. We have it covered through our Human Services Programs. ¾ I feel that the resources that are currently available are sufficient. ¾ I have requested on several occasions, the need for a “Hold Harmless Agreement” in order to make community service a more viable option. The Spring Lake Heights Department of Public Works is already an approved “Community Service” provider however, due to the ages of our offenders, I do not feel comfortable putting that liability on the Borough. If the MCPO could provide a standard “Hold Harmless Agreement” to be signed by the offender, his/her parent(s) or guardian and the IV Officer, it could open up more opportunities to conduct community service hours. ¾ I would like to see a “shoplifter” program and a “scared straight program.” ¾ More programs made available to send the offender to. ¾ Possibly a County run community service like garbage pick-up. Our Dept. doesn’t have man power/ability to supervise juveniles. ¾ Have no problem utilizing community partners. ¾ Any guidelines the County could assist us with resources. ¾ Community service opportunities, maybe more on wider scale, not just on an in-town basis. ¾ Graffiti / Litter Cleanup programs; Educational Programs in schools. ¾ A County run community service program where juvenile offenders could be sent to complete their community service if smaller departments do not have the man power to oversee the juvenile. ¾ Facilities who will accept community service. ¾ Shared information with police dept. where JV resides.

96 ¾ I would like the JV’s to be able to clean-up local parks or public areas without the fear of it being an insurance problem. ¾ Volunteering at local hospital ¾ Anything would help places to do community service. ¾ None come to mind. ¾ Paint and assorted hardware to facilitate painting projects on graffiti across town. ¾ Gloves and assorted hardware to facilitate clean-up projects across town ¾ Funds to facilitate lectures/guest speakers to motivate and encourage At-Risk Youth (all youth across town). ¾ Support for projects to create a paradigm shift from incarceration to education. ¾ None ¾ Programs with prior offenders offering advice to make better decisions ¾ “Scared Straight” programs at jails on JV Detention Centers. ¾ I would like a central booking file for the County, so we know if the JV had a Station House Adjustment. ¾ We utilize the Wall Youth Center for our Station House Adjustments. Thus, we don’t go outside our jurisdiction for resources.

The vast majority of stationhouse adjustments conducted by Monmouth County Law Enforcement have been completed successfully. What from your perspective has helped the youth complete the SHA successfully?

¾ I believe that most first-time, minor offenders are grateful for the opportunity to avoid any type of blemish on their background and are eager to complete the terms of the SHA as quickly as possible. ¾ The SHA holds the juvenile responsible, and they realize that further action may have them going to the Monmouth County Court House. ¾ Cooperation from parents to ensure child completes task and monitored by police. ¾ The ability to handle this as a partnership with the parents to help the youth mature and learn from their mistakes. It also is a good alternative then just sending all juveniles to juvenile court or letting them go with a warning. ¾ Thus far that if completed, the incident remains in house. ¾ Not used. ¾ Willingness to cooperate. Officer involvement. ¾ I think that once it is explained to the juvenile that any subsequent arrests for any type of criminal activity will lead to a formal juvenile complaint being signed against them helps in the deterrence. I explain that SHA is given for first time offenders and they will not receive another one. This seems to help deter against future arrests. ¾ Parents Involvement. ¾ Communications. Everything has to be explained to all involved parties. ¾ Time limitations – threat of pending complaints. ¾ The fear of charges and appearing in court. ¾ Explaining the substantial benefit of being offered and completing the SHA to both JV and parent is important. Giving the JV tasks that are not too burdening and a reasonable amount of time in which to complete. Having the JV realize and understand that the SHA is a requirement that will provide them with a chance to prove that they are

97 responsible and worthy of the second chance they are being given. I believe it also gives the JV an opportunity to regain the trust of their parents, so completing the SHA becomes a way of proving themselves. ¾ Parental involvement and officers having the time and resources to follow up with the SHA. ¾ N/A (3 responses) ¾ Their contacts at the local municipalities i.e. Juvenile Detecting/Officers ¾ Easy consequences or punishments. ¾ Resources and programs available to law enforcement. ¾ Juveniles realize that they are getting an opportunity to avoid a formal juvenile complaint and complete their station house adjustment contract to avoid further repercussions. ¾ I believe the majority of the juveniles that are brought into the stationhouse program are kids that made a mistake and given a second chance would not go back to committing crimes. The stationhouse adjustment program is that second chance for a kid. ¾ The parents and juveniles do not want an arrest record to hinder their chances of getting into a college. ¾ Knowing they have to pay for what they did. ¾ They don’t want a signed complaint against them. ¾ Parents cooperation, assistance from prosecutor’s office. ¾ Give them terms that are realistic. ¾ Complete cooperation from everyone involved in the process. ¾ Cooperation from local resources who help monitor juveniles work and supervision of same. ¾ Our Department stays in close contact with JV/parent or guardian thru out the SHA time to insure completion. ¾ Repeat of a complaint being signed, police officer oversight, parent involvement. ¾ Juvenile admission of their true actions ¾ Discussion of future consequences of continued delinquent activity. ¾ Parent participation, follow-up by officers. ¾ Officers keeping tabs on the juvenile and parents helping juvenile complete assigned tasks. ¾ Involvement from parents ¾ The location of places to do the community service, and available times were very accommodating. ¾ Many of ours have not been completed. ¾ Knowing complaints can still be signed. ¾ The reality that for many offenders, this is the last stop before he or she is sent before the Superior Court Judge and face a more serious penalty. ¾ Showing concern to the juvenile ¾ Follow-up with juvenile parents seem to slack off ¾ Not wanting to get into any further trouble ¾ The fact that the requirements for completion have not been too harsh.. Also that the idea of “pending” charges if they do not complete the SHA helps. ¾ All police personnel of the County of Monmouth follow the guidelines.

98 ¾ Most individuals cooperate with the SHA Recommendations to avoid the formal complaint procedure and possible consequences.

If your department did not conduct any Stationhouse Adjustment in 2010, what were the reasons why? (Refer to charts attached to survey)

¾ N/A (12 responses) ¾ Any JV matters did not qualify for SHA, complaints were signed. ¾ We did not take any juveniles into custody in 2010. ¾ Victims refuse or insist on signing complaint. ¾ Juveniles have prior contacts that disqualify them. ¾ There has been a lack of juvenile offenders who are eligible for a station house adjustment or the cases involving juveniles where offenses that were too severe for a station house adjustment. ¾ FYI: they did one SHA in 2010 ¾ Most charges or complaints did not fit the criteria for a SHA and were sent up to central charging. ¾ This agency had less interaction and arrests of J.V’s in 2010 than in previous years- 2008-64 JV arrests; 2009- 47 JV arrests; 2010 – 16 JV arrests ¾ Comply with County policy. ¾ No – Juvenile complaints were filed. ¾ Not enough resources/manpower ¾ Lack of compliance by accused juveniles to complete said program ¾ Unofficial curbside adjustments are simply easier and less time consuming ¾ Accused juvenile’s previous involvement with the Criminal Justice System excludes said juvenile from Stationhouse Adjustment. ¾ Disorderly; Curfew; Assault

What factors from your perspective have contributed to the decrease in the total number of Stationhouse Adjustments conducted in Monmouth County from 2008 to 2010?

¾ We require all officers to document the offering of SHA, if appropriate, in their field reports. Because of this, I would have to say the unwillingness by the victim is the primary cause of the decrease. In our jurisdiction, the majority of offenses that qualify for a SHA are shoplifting, and because it is so rampant in light of the economic conditions, the merchants are seeking to make examples of offenders by adopting a “zero tolerance” type of approach. ¾ Juveniles committing more serious crimes. ¾ I believe that our department has had a decline based on repeat offenders that are not eligible for the program any longer and many of the juvenile offenders have commited serious crimes that do not fall in the guidelines. ¾ Repeat offenders. ¾ N/A (2 responses) ¾ We have no perspective to use.

99 ¾ Tedious process, little benefit for our municipality. ¾ From my perspective, some of the juveniles arrested are repeat offenders and therefore are not eligible for a SHA. ¾ Freehold Boro has seen a very large increase in SHA. Curfew problems are leading to more SHA. Kids are walking the streets looking for things to do. ¾ Probably paperwork issues. ¾ Offenses being committed by even first time offenders are being viewed as being serious enough that SHA is not appropriate. SHA may not send the intended message to JV for their actions even if it is only a DP. ¾ Victims insist on signing complaint or Juveniles have prior contacts that disqualify them. ¾ More J.V.’s arrested. Decrease in Law Enforcement Personnel. ¾ Time, resources, and the acceptance of the Juvenile. I have found the juvenile’s are accepting the juvenile process for “street cred.” ¾ Lack of locations. ¾ Our Dept. has gone up since ’08. ¾ More serious incidents/crimes being committed. ¾ In 2010, we had less house parties involving alcohol related offenses. This is why our numbers went down! ¾ Many juvenile charges have been made on subjects that are ineligible for a station house adjustment. ¾ Unfortunately, the reason that our SHA numbers decreased may be due to the fact that the charges against the JV’s do not fit the criteria for SHA and have to use the “honor system” when interviewing the parents with regards to their child’s eligibility for the SHA Program. ¾ More programs that the juveniles can be involved in so less crime committed by juveniles. Examples: sports, clubs after school programs. ¾ I can’t speak for the whole of Monmouth County, but in West Long Branch it was due to the fact that in 2009 we had several large juvenile parties where the juveniles were taken into custody. ¾ Kids are not doing any actions that we act on (SHA) ¾ Educating the youths. (DARE, Youth Leadership Programs). ¾ Possible lack of resources for some departments. ¾ Less dealing with J.V.’s ¾ Immediate consequences of juveniles action. ¾ Ours increased due to the better understanding of SHA, rather than JV complaints. ¾ Main reason we experienced a decrease in 2010 was an overall in offenses. ¾ Seriousness of crimes committed; Ineligibility. ¾ Formal complaints for repeat offenders. ¾ Juveniles are committing more offenses where complaints should be signed. ¾ Type of crime ¾ Reduced number of services available during that time. ¾ Fewer juveniles meet the criteria. ¾ Better enforcement or use of station house adjustment. ¾ Not enough resources/manpower ¾ Multiple repeat offenders ¾ Quality, age and violation “appropriate” programming

100 ¾ Lack of Victim agreement for Stationhouse Adjustment. ¾ School programs – DARE – Bullying ¾ Less arrest cause less stationhouse adjustments. ¾ More charges being sent to central charging ¾ We had an increase of Station House Adjustments, and an increase of JV Delinquency complaints. ¾ It’s possible that some offenders didn’t qualify for a SHA or some agencies didn’t have the appropriate resources for Station House Adjustments.

Additional Comments on Stationhouse Adjustments in your Municipality:

¾ As previously stated, community service would be very helpful in our department. ¾ Most of Asbury’s problems come from outside programs we use, fail to help P.D. updates on juvenile starting, attending and completing program. ¾ The program overall has worked well in our town with all officers taking an active role and administering station house adjustments on a regular basis. We fully support the program being continued. ¾ As a college, we don’t deal with too many juvenile offenders. ¾ Useful for minor victimless offenses. ¾ SHA are great, as long as the parents follow-up. ¾ N/A ¾ Question 3 – We do not know if they re offend since they live outside of this county. ¾ Another problem with the SHA Program is the fact there is no “master list” of what JV’s have been adjusted. We basically have to use the “honor system” when interviewing the parents with regards to their child’s eligibility for the SHA Program. ¾ Question 1 from previous: I would agree, but in West Long Branch we only have a part time Juvenile Officer and it is hard to handle the SHA quickly on most occasions. ¾ Station House Adjustments are used when appropriate and as needed within this agency. ¾ None ¾ Don’t completely agree that SHA’s are a deterrent, especially with alcohol related offenses. With no minor offenses, we do feel they are effective though. ¾ None ¾ Referring back to #3 in the first portion of the survey, early intervention does deter youth from negative behavior and further progression into the JJS. My answer is DISAGREE because it is not universal and those that are not positively affected by it become classic case, repeat offenders that we often simply age out into the adult system. ¾ We are getting more aggressive as a whole on all JV SHAPES and Complaints. ¾ I would like to continue using Station House Adjustments for minor/first time juvenile offenses/offenders.
