2 of 61 Guide to Juvenile Justice Reporting Page 3 of 61 Illinois State Police Guide to Juvenile Justice Reporting Introduction Effective January 1, 2000, all policing bodies of this State shall furnish to the Illinois State Police arrest fingerprint cards for all persons who are arrested on charges of violating any penal statute of this State for offenses that are classified as felonies and Class A or B misdemeanors and of all minors of the age of 10 and over who have been arrested for an offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult, and may forward such fingerprints and descriptions for minors arrested for Class A or B misdemeanors. In this document, you will find instructions, complete with examples, for completing the juvenile arrest fingerprint card. After January 4, 2000, the juvenile arrest fingerprint card should be used to report arrests of juvenile offenders. Those agencies that use Livescan electronic fingerprinting machines in the ANSI/NIST format will have a new form loaded on those terminals by the respective vendors. In addition, the other Livescan machines can use the adult arrest format to report juvenile information, as long as they indicate either a “3" or a “J” in the Prosecute as an Adult indicator. Some Livescan tenprinters are set up to accept the “3" in this field while others will only accept a “J.” (It should be noted in this situation, agencies will not be able to report any of the new data fields such as terms and lengths of adjustment, parental information, etc). If any agency has any questions regarding juvenile reporting, please feel free to contact the Illinois State Police, Bureau of Identification at (815) 740-8751, 740-8753, 740-8754, or 740-8755. Criminal history systems contain data that records an offender’s interactions with the criminal justice system. One unique characteristic of the criminal justice system is that an offender encounters many different agencies as he progresses through the various stages of the system. Police agencies investigate and arrest offenders, while state’s attorneys prosecute; judges conduct trials, and so on. Therefore, the criminal history system must involve some type of reporting process that includes all of the different types of agencies. Illinois law defines criminal history as data identifiable to an individual and consisting of descriptions or notations of arrests, detentions, indictments, information, pretrial proceedings, trials, or other formal events in the criminal justice system or descriptions or notations of criminal charges and the nature of any disposition arising therefrom, including sentencing, court or correctional supervision, rehabilitations and release. This means criminal history systems must contain identification and event level data. In Illinois’ system, police agencies are required to report arrests using arrest fingerprint cards, state’s attorneys must report filing decisions, and circuit court clerks must report disposition and sentencing data. Since 1931, the Illinois State Police has occupied the role of state central repository for adult criminal records. During the late 1990's, several legislative commissions began examining the problem of juvenile crime and developed recommendations that eventually became legislation entitled the Juvenile Justice Reform Act (JJRA). JJRA changed the entire concept of juvenile justice and provided the legislative authority for ISP to create
