  • National Standards for the Care of Youth Charged with Status Offenses | 3
    National Standards for the Care of Youth Charged with Status Offenses Copyright © 2013 Coalition for Juvenile Justice ABOUT THE COALITION AND THE SOS PROJECT The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a nationwide coalition of State Advisory Groups (SAGs) and allies dedicated to preventing children and youth from becoming involved in the courts and upholding the highest standards of care when youth are charged with wrongdoing and enter the justice system. CJJ envisions a nation where fewer children are at risk of delinquency; and if they are at risk or involved with the justice system, they and their families receive every possible opportunity to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. The CJJ “Safety, Opportunity & Success (SOS): Standards of Care for Non- Delinquent Youth,” (“SOS Project”) is a multi-year partnership that engages State Advisory Group (SAG) members, judicial leaders, practitioners, service providers, policymakers, and advocates. The SOS Project aims to guide states in implementing policy and practices that divert status offenders from the courts to family- and community-based systems of care that more effectively meet their needs. The SOS Project also seeks to eliminate the use of locked confinement for status offenders and other non-delinquent youth. To accomplish this goal, the SOS Project develops tools, resources, and peer leadership to help key stakeholders reform the treatment of youth at risk for and charged with status offenses in their juvenile justice systems. The project builds on more than two decades of CJJ leadership to advance detention reform and promote detention alternatives that better serve court-involved youth, including youth charged with status offenses.

  • ISSUE BRIEF a Publication of the Tow Youth Justice Institute
    ISSUE BRIEF A Publication of the Tow Youth Justice Institute A Leader in Reform 2019 - Issue V Why Status Offense Laws in Connecticut Have Changed Background The handling of status offenses of youth has been a topic for discussion across the country and each state has taken different approaches in their response to these actions. Definitions are provided later, but as a general statement, a status offense is a conduct that would not be unlawful if committed by an adult but is unlawful only because of a child’s or youth’s legal minor status. Although significant progress has been made in many states, every year "thousands of kids across the United States are handcuffed, taken to court, or locked up for just these misbehaviors”. 1 “Using the justice system to respond to these cases makes little sense, particularly when the primary options available to law enforcement, judges, and other system players relate to protecting public safety, not addressing kids’ needs”. 2 In some states, a child who commits a status offense may end up in juvenile court. Other states have increased the use of residential placement for offenders, and others emphasize community-based programs. Today, most states refer to status offenders as "children or juveniles in need of supervision, services, or care." A few states designate some status offenders as "dependent" or "neglected children". 3 Status offense behaviors can be a normal part of adolescent development, “which is a time of exploration and risk-taking, often marked by being impulsive and susceptible to peer pressure.” 4 But in other instances, they can signal underlying problems at home or in school that need closer attention.

  • A Better Way to Address Status Offenses
    Mandatory Mediation: A Better Way to Address Status Offenses TRACY J. SIMMONS* I. INTRODUCTION Katie's teacher pulls her aside to inquire about her slipping grades and distant demeanor in class. 1 Katie confides in her teacher that her mother's boyfriend physically abuses her on a regular basis. She spends the rest of the afternoon with the school counselor, a child advocate, and a police officer. After all of the adults discuss Katie's situation, they tell her that they are going to continue to look into the situation, but for now, she will be sent home. Katie decides then that she will not return home. As a runaway child, Katie is classified as a status offender 2 and taken to juvenile court for her "offense." The juvenile court adjudicates Katie a "child in need of supervision" (CHINS) 3 and orders her to follow the rules of school and home.4 These rules include attending school, obeying her teachers, and * 2006 Juris Doctor Candidate at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.

Arthur1 and Regina Waugh2 INTRODUCTION During 2004, more than four hundred thousand youth were arrested or held in custody in the United States for noncriminal behavior called a status offense.3 A status offense is defined as conduct that is unlawful only because the offender is a minor.4 Common status offenses include running away, skipping school, and breaking curfew, as well as ungovernability, underage drinking, and disorderly conduct.5 Adolescents who engage in status offense behaviors often come from broken homes, have suffered childhood trauma, and have unmet mental health and/or education needs.6 These troubled children are still growing into maturity, are prone to impulsivity, and are more vulnerable than adults to negative peer pressure.7 They need care, treatment, and services—not confinement—to address the underlying causes of their troubling behavior and to prevent deeper and more costly entanglement in the juvenile or criminal justice systems.

  • Birthing Injustice: Pregnancy As a Status Offense
    \\jciprod01\productn\G\GWN\85-4\GWN403.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-AUG-17 8:48 Birthing Injustice: Pregnancy as a Status Offense Priscilla A. Ocen* ABSTRACT Over the last thirty years, pregnant women, particularly pregnant women of color, have increasingly come under the supervision and control of the criminal justice system. In July 2014, Tennessee became the first state in the country to pass a law criminalizing illegal drug use during pregnancy. Within weeks of its enactment, several women were arrested and subjected to prosecu- tion under the statute. In Alabama, the State Supreme Court upheld convic- tions of several women after finding that the state’s chemical endangerment statute applied to fetal life. The women convicted of these crimes joined hun- dreds of other pregnant women arrested for or convicted of similar offenses. Indeed, according to recent studies, over 1000 women have been convicted of crimes ranging from child endangerment to second-degree murder as a result of conduct during pregnancy. In almost all of these cases, the conduct of the women prosecuted would have been lawful or subject to a lesser penalty had it been committed by a nonpregnant person. This Article makes two central claims about the increasing number of criminal prosecutions of pregnant women. First, this Article contends that pregnant women are subject to a form of status offense. Status offenses, which criminalize the behavior of individuals within a select group of people that would be noncriminal if committed by persons outside of the group, have been utilized to regulate disfavored classes. Pregnant women, especially those who are poor and of color, are similarly constructed as a disfavored class and are therefore subject to unique forms of criminal regulation.

  • Truancy Fact Sheet
    ~ Promoting attendance, attachment and achievement What is Truancy? Any unexcused absence from school is considered a truancy, but states enact their own school attendance laws. State law determines 1) the age at which a child is required to begin attending school, 2) the age at which a child may legally drop out of school, and 3), the number of unexcused absences at which a student is considered legally truant. Truancy is a status offense – an act that is a crime due to the young age of the actor, but would not be illegal for someone older. The other most common status offenses are running away from home, alcohol use, curfew violations, and un-governability. Truancy: The extent of the problem While there is not an abundance of national truancy data, some metropolitan areas report thousands of unexcused absences each day. DeKalb, Jay, “Student Truancy,” ERIC Digest 125, April 1999. Data from Wisconsin show that during the 1998-99 school year, 15,600 students or 1.6% of enrolled students were truant per day. Truancy accounted for about 1/3 of total absences that year. Truancy rates in the 10 largest urban school districts were twice as high as the state average. Legislative Audit Committee of the State of Wisconsin, “A Best Practices Review: Truancy Reduction Efforts,” August 2000. Students with behavioral problems are often assigned to a counselor, but school counselors have large caseloads. Public high schools employed one counselor for every 284 students in 2002. Large schools (1,200+ students) employed one counselor for every 335 students. Counselors in schools with over 50% minority enrollment were responsible for 22% more students than their colleagues in low minority enrollment schools – 313 compared to 256 students.
