Extractions: Two Illinois counties, Pike and Adams, have experienced a steady increase in juvenile crimes during the past decade, with a 23 percent jump in the number of court cases from 1993 to 1995. Circuit courts and probation departments in both counties reported a backlog of cases in 1995. Many of these were repeat offenders, with a high percentage of cases of underage driving, impaired driving and other alcohol-related violations. Circuit court officials recognized a need for alternative programs for juvenile offenders that were educational and could serve as a guide to development within the family and the community. In an effort to provide an alternative program for juvenile offenders aged 10 to 18, Illinois' Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials established Teen Court in 1996. The goal of Teen Court was to direct cases away from the juvenile courts and to provide an alternative approach to litigating traffic violations such as impaired driving, speeding and seat belt nonuse. The Teen Court program focused on prevention of offenses rather than simply punishing them. Program objectives included: Providing an opportunity for youth to acknowledge responsibility for their actions, and suggest possible alternative behaviors

Extractions: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I. INTRODUCTION II. THE FACTS III. THE LAWS ... XI. RESOURCES IV. The Justice System While surveys of youth suggest that underage alcohol offenses are common, only a small percentage of all such offenses are formally prosecuted and result in sanctions. Many of these offenses go undetected by police. Among those offenders that police do apprehend, many are not arrested. Among those that are arrested, many are not formally prosecuted. This chapter addresses the challenges law enforcement agencies face in apprehending youthful alcohol offenders, and the pre-sanction processing of those offenders that do enter the court system. Additionally, it describes case processing in the courts, distinguishing between juvenile and other (traffic, criminal, or family court) jurisdictions. Diversion, the use of Teen Courts, and the importance of alcohol and other drug screening and assessments are also discussed. Challenges to Apprehending Youth for Alcohol-Related Offenses Law enforcement officers face a number of challenges to apprehending youth for alcohol-related offenses. The courts' disposition of violations of the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) laws and impaired driving laws may either encourage or discourage law enforcement efforts. Police are more likely to enforce these laws if the courts' dispositions indicate that the court takes these violations seriously. Barriers to the Enforcement of MLDA Laws One goal of law enforcement is to target underage drinkers before they get into a car and drive. It is difficult for police to detect low blood alcohol concentrations (BACs), thereby making apprehension in other settings, such as parties or retail establishments, the focus of many law enforcement efforts.

Extractions: Ms. Zehner is the Director of Bay County Teen Court in Panama City, Florida. Teen Court augments traditional juvenile courts by providing a forum for first-time youthful offenders to be judged by their peers. Newspaper headlines and television broadcasts have chronicled the ominously sharp rise in juvenile crime that occurred during the past several years. While everyone agrees that rising levels of juvenile crime represent a serious threat to the quality of life in communities around the country, little consensus exists regarding the best way to respond to this profound problem. The debate, no doubt, will continue for years to come. However, some promising programs already have proven effective in curtailing youth crime. Among these is Teen Court, a program that uses the undeniable power of peer pressure as a positive, rather than negative, force to help convince youthful troublemakers that crime yields serious consequences. Teen Court also provides law enforcement agen- cies a unique opportunity to help guide at-risk youths away from crime at a time when they are particularly impressionable. In states where Teen Court is in place, youths who complete the program re-offend at a much lower rate than do youths tried and sentenced in juvenile courts.1 The program also represents a cost-effective alternative to traditional court processing because Teen Court relies largely on volunteers. While Teen Court is not designed to replace municipal juvenile courts, it does offer a highly structured and effective means to guide some youths away from trouble by showing them that criminal activity has both immediate and long-term consequences.

Extractions: An Open Letter to You My name is Brenda Lawler. I am Shana's Mom. At Shana's funeral the parents of Megan, Amanada,Angela and Mike wanted to get together with Paul and I to talk about our children. We are ten people who virtually did not know each other, except for a wave in the driveway when a kid was dropped off or a quick hello on the phone. That meeting forged a bond between us that will never be broken. We knew that we could not let people forget about our children and the reason for their tragic deaths. Out of this meeting Precious Gems Memorial was born. The purpose of Precious Gems is to make our communities more aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. and to help change the way our court system handles DWI's , especially on the Outer Banks. I have received countless letters voicing outrage as to the way drunk drivers are virtually given a slap on the wrist and I have read over and over again in the local papers, found guilty, suspended sentence, unsupervised probation. I would like to write an excerpt from one letter I recently rec'd : "I am at teacher at the Dare County Alternative School. Many, if not most of the students who attend this school have little regard for school rules and the law. They frequently engage in high risk, illegal, and immoral behavior. Despite multiple appearences in court, these students continue to exhibit aberrant behavior. Why shouldn't they? The consequences they receive from school and court are usually meaningless. I have highlighted a former student (dropout) from a recent court docket published in the Coastland Times to illustrate my point. This kid was one of the most disrespectful students I've ever taught. As you can see , his sentence was a joke, only I suspect you are not laughing.

Extractions: Joe is the man of the house. He is fourteen years old. When his family was robbed at gunpoint, Joe knew he had to take action so it would never happen again. Joe decided he needed a gun - not a real gun, but a pellet gun designed to look like a .357 Magnum. But his nickels and dimes did not add up to enough cash. Joe decided to take advantage of a five-finger discount. Joe pleaded guilty to shoplifitng, with his mother's consent. But instead of wading though the mire of paperwork and court appearances common to the nation's juvenile justice systems, Joe opted for Odessa, Texas' Teen Court. This program's philosophy is that an adolescent who breaks the law will not be a repeat offender if a jury of his peers - other teenagers instead of adults - decides the punishment to fit the crime. The jury made up of teens does not decide innocence or guilt; it only metes the sentence for the

Extractions: MINOR AND JUVENILE CASES There are two classifications for young people charged with offenses in Justice of the Peace Court. A Minor is a young person under the age of 21. A Juvenile is a person under the age of 18. For more information, click on the type of offense you are interested in: Alcohol Violations Truancy Tobacco Violations Traffic Violations ... Shoplifting Violations Alcohol Violations The most common violations for alcohol offenses in Justice of the Peace Court are Possession and Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor. Other offenses include Public Intoxication and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol by a Minor. It is important to note that the Texas Legislature has determined it to be a crime while having any detectable amount of alcohol in his/her system, when driving a motor vehicle. It is different for adults. The first step for an alleged alcohol violator is to enter a plea on the charge. Either a juvenile or a minor can be charged with these offenses. There are three ways you can plead: Not Guilty- You have to absolute right to a trial by Judge or jury. If you choose to go to trial, you will need to post an appearance bond. An appearance bond simply means you are putting up collateral (usually cash) to guarantee your appearance in Court. Once you show up for your trial, the bond is immediately returned to you.

Closing the gate to vehicular access at 10 p.m. instead of 11 p.m. should significantly decrease the disturbances presently experienced by residents of the area as well as the demand for police services. As noted above, those using the park at night often are drinking, and City employees frequently are required to clean up broken glass and other hazardous items such as needles when opening the gate in the morning. Reopening the gate for vehicular access at 7:30 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m., will insure that City employees have adequate time to perform the necessary clean up activities."

Extractions: (Dover, DE): National Youth Court month is being observed this month in hundreds of communities that host teen court programs, including towns in Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware. Delaware Teen Court, Inc. in Dover became operational in late 1998 through the efforts of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary and the Attorney General's office. In Georgetown, the Sussex Teen Court has been operating for nearly one year with the help of the Auxiliary and the Attorney General's office. Both programs are non-profit agencies with local Boards of Directors. In Delaware, the Teen Court programs were formed as a diversion program from Family Court for first-time juvenile offenders charged with misdemeanor, non-violent crimes. Juveniles voluntarily agree to participate in the diversion option and must plead guilty to the charges for which they were arrested. A jury, made up of previous offenders who are "sentenced" to jury duty, and other teenage volunteers from the community, hears the details of the case from victims, other witnesses and teens acting as prosecutor and defense attorney and decides on a sentence for the offender. Referrals to both Teen Court programs are made through the Attorney General's office. The Teen Courts are highly effective. Since its inception in 1998, the Delaware Teen Court in Kent County reports an 11% re-offense rate. In the newer, Sussex Teen Court program, the rate is less than 7%. Attorney General M. Jane Brady commented, "This is a unique educational experience for young people to learn to make better decisions about their lives and to understand there are consequences to each decision they make. I am very pleased with the success of the program and applaud the Auxiliary, the courts, the volunteers and my staff for their effort."
