Berger Crossroads Counseling Center ABSTRACT This paper examines juvenile delinquency preven- tion programs which implement large-scale intervention and social change strategies. A typology of community organization practice is used to analyze the assump- tions, objectives, and methods underlying these ap- proaches. Three models of community organization-- locality development, social planning, and social action--are used to evaluate three exemplary delin- quency prevention programs: the Chicago Area Project, the 1960's provision of opportunity programs, and the 1960's comprehensive community-based projects such as Mobilization for Youth. The difficulties encountered in implementing these models and programs are identi- fied and assessed.

Prevention efforts are noted to proceed along three distinct levels: promoting healthy development for all youth, focusing on youth who appear to be on the road to delinquency, and reaching youth who are already juvenile offenders. Two sections include descriptions of, small-scale (such as individual services, special education provisions, and work experience) and large-scale (area intervention in cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C.) intervention programs. Results from action-oriented and research-oriented delinquency projects are reported and the research methodology used in evaluation of programs is examined. Studies on the problems and evaluations of youth. service bureaus are cited. Outlined are three models for prevention (including a model for developing a community resource system) and proposed policy directions (in such areas as deinstitutionalization and school responsiveness). Appended is a paper on a family-oriented natural systems prevention model.(SB) *********************************************************************** Documents acquired by ERIC include many informal unpublished * materials not available from other sources.

Springer, Albert R. Roberts, Patricia Brownell, Melissa Torrente, Angie Del Prado Lippman, and Michele Deitch CHAPTER OBJECTIVES 1. To explore the value base and philosophical origins of the juvenile justice system and how it has evolved over time. 2. To examine the historical trends and policy shifts in the juvenile justice system. 3. To identify key policies and public laws impacting the juvenile justice field. Introduction Working to prevent juvenile delinquency and to rehabilitate juvenile offenders is a challenging and ideal way to spend one’s career. It requires a wide range of skills, from working with one individual to prevent him or her from entering the juvenile justice system to advocating for social change and social justice. We have made significant advances since what could be defined as the beginning of forensic practice with juveniles—the opening of the first juvenile court in 1899 in Cook County, Illinois. Jane Addams and Julia Lathrop, founders of the settlement movement and strong advocates for the legislation that led to the first juvenile court, were leaders among the Progressive Era reformers who built a foundation for the significant reforms in juvenile justice and victim assistance programs and services during the past century.

Alissi University of Connecticut School of Social Work West Fartford, Connecticut 1. THE PROBLEM Although progress has been uneven and the parameters for establishing inter- disciplinary approaches remain to be settled, new ways of using the behavioral sciences in the field of law are beginning to be explored more systematically.1 At this point, the relevance of behavioral science materials in legislation, litigation, administrative and evaluative activities of government does suggest some of the most promising areas for further exploration and development. Social science knowledge can be used, of course, to influence legislation in various ways. It can serve, for example, to shed light on some aspects of behavior which are of concern and which may be potentially subject to legislation. Hence, knowledge regarding the nature of deviance such as delinquency, criminality, mental illness or of the nature of the normal childhood, adolescent, maturing and aging processes can form the basis upon which sound social policies are advanced and desirable legislation enacted.

Appendix I PROGRAM DIRECTORY Trauma-Informed Programs Illinois ACE Response Collaborative October 2016 INTRODUCTION This Program Directory was compiled over six months with help from over 80 colleagues who submitted program names and information. We recognize the Program Directory will always be in evolution and therefore incomplete - as new programs are created and existing programs develop a trauma-informed focus. We did our best to list each program in an appropriate category (using information submitted or from the program’s website). Because we found that programs may have started with one focus and then expanded to provide additional services, we include a brief paragraph describing the program. This Program Directory was compiled with contributing help from the Illinois ACEs Response Collective. We would love to have comments and corrections.

Chapter 3. the Historical Legacy of Juvenile Justice
03-Krisberg.qxd 8/14/2004 11:44 AM Page 19 Three The Historical Legacy of Juvenile Justice he first institution for the control of juvenile delinquency in the T United States was the New York House of Refuge, founded in 1825, but specialized treatment of wayward youth has a much longer history— one tied to changes in the social structure of medieval Europe. These same changes prompted the colonization of the New World and led to attempts to control and exploit the labor of African, European, and Native American children. Virtually all aspects of life were in a state of flux for the people of Europe in the later Middle Ages (16th and 17th centuries). The economy was being transformed from a feudal system based on sustenance agricul- ture to a capitalistic, trade-oriented system focusing on cash crops and the consolidation of large tracts of land. In religious matters, the turmoil could be amply witnessed in the intense struggles of the Reformation. Politically, power was increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few monarchs, who were fashioning strong centralized states. The growth of trade and explo- ration exposed Europeans to a variety of world cultures and peoples. For the lower classes of European society, these were “the worst of times.” The rising population density as well as primitive agricultural methods led to a virtual exhaustion of the land. Increasing urban popula- tions created new demands for cheap grain, and landlords responded by 19 03-Krisberg.qxd 8/14/2004 11:44 AM Page 20 20 JUVENILE JUSTICE increasing the fees paid by peasants who worked the land.
