Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. The number of youths confined varies significantly across states, which all have differently sized juvenile populations, different ages of juvenile jurisdiction (e.g., 16 or 17), plus different reform efforts prior to COVID-19. Health conditions and racial differences among justice-involved adolescents, 2009 to 2014. Green, D. A. Similar “fast tracked” discharges target lower risk, nonviolent youths, with decisions most often based off of youths’ progress, risks, needs, and the system’s ability to meet those needs in the community. American Sociological Review, 61(4), 635–655. Once persons reach adulthood, antisocial and criminal behavior is known as crime. (2015). However, specific versions of the curve vary in significant ways. The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice responded to COVID-19-related staffing concerns with an even more innovative approach by implementing rotating “teams” of staff who work together in direct care for 14 days (i.e., 2 weeks on) and then work remotely from home the following two weeks (i.e., 2 weeks “off”). Such classifications of youths’ risks and needs frees up staff and resources for clients with greater risk and needs (e.g., youths recently released). In 2008 there were 6,318 arrests for every 100,000 youths age 10 to 17 in the resident population (Law Enforcement and Juvenile Crime, 2008). Juvenile reform centers get P1 billion proposed budget - Senate office ABS-CBN News Posted at Feb 13 02:54 PM The proposed national budget now includes P1 billion for the construction of the juvenile reform centers, a Senate office said Wednesday, almost 2 weeks after the House of Representatives approved a bill lowering the minimum age of criminal liability to 12. Especially, in a family the most important role is played by the parents and siblings. Viewing juveniles and the justice system through the lens of the current public health crisis casts even more light on systemic social inequities and disparities in the privilege to avoid not only justice system contact (Peck, 2016) but also COVID-19 (Ahmed, Ahmed, Pissarides, & Stiglitz, 2020; Wright, Sonin, Driscoll, & Wilson, 2020). Similar to law enforcement, courts’ decisions to handle cases informally or formally can also impact youths’ entrenchment in the justice system. Regardless of jurisdictional nuances in release authority, the factors considered in determining eligibility for early or emergency release due to COVID-19 appear relatively similar across agencies. Unfortunately, COVID-19 continues to affect all sectors of these settings. Thus, the confluence of reconnection with delinquent friends and the ennui of life devoid of prosocial opportunities, further suggest a rise in juvenile delinquency in comparison to behaviors observed mid-pandemic. 206–227). These programs progressively reflect wider varieties of interventions, evidence-based practices, and models (e.g., risk/need/responsivity models [RNR], see Andrews, Bonta, & Hoge, 1990) and are increasingly offered in community-based, as opposed to institutional, settings (Hockenberry, 2018).

COVID-19 in juvenile facilities. (1992). This entails confirming that supports are not only in place but also actually available and accessible with continuing operations during the pandemic. Advocates have similarly called on prosecutors to facilitate release rather than detaining youths (YCLJ, 2020), along with calls on probation and parole to limit (or entirely end) revocations for technical violations and further reduce the number of confined juveniles. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Existent caseloads (e.g., probation, parole) and their supervising officers are also adjusting to changes in practices and protocols. Contemporary issues of race/ethnicity, offending behavior, and justice responses. Shift mandates that are in the best interest of preserving employees’ stamina, patience, and general mental health are part and parcel of this balance; thus, implementing innovative scheduling structures is certainly preferable to covering absences with untrained, temporary, or ill-fitting replacement personnel.

(2013). https://www.dys.ohio.gov/Home/COVID-19-Updates-from-DYS, Ohio Department of Youth Services [ODYS]. Given such developments, along with theoretical supports further explicated below, as COVID-19 stay-at-home and social distancing restrictions gradually loosen, we anticipate that rates of juvenile delinquent behavior will increase compared to rates when stricter COVID-19 mitigation measures were in effect. In the next section, our attention turns towards this population and the impact of COVID-19 on the juvenile justice system, its practices and protocols, as well as the essential employees ensuring the system’s continued operation during the pandemic. https://www.sentencingproject.org. Juvenile delinquency is becoming very prevalent in today’s society. 16, No. To be sure, COVID-19 continues to present unprecedented challenges for all juvenile justice systems.

Some states are gearing up for a controlled return of tourism by increasingly permitting hotel and rental reservations for the coming summer months. In lieu of more tangible, “real time” data estimating these impacts, we base our predictions on empirical knowledge and theories of juvenile delinquency. Poverty and economic dislocation reduce compliance with COVID-19 shelter-in-place protocols. In a society where exploitation prevails, juvenile delinquency, like crime in general, is conditioned by the socioeconomic structure of … National youth violence prevention update, 2010–2016. In that report the authors note how seminal events can be catalysts for continued reforms (Harvell et al., 2020), bringing to mind the old adage: strike while the iron’s hot. Instead, unqualified personnel are left to instruct and/or meet the very diverse educational needs of a higher-risk student population. Along with not allowing volunteers, we found nearly all states have also suspended visitation with family, loved ones, mentors, and advocates. For instance, past research has found an association between “rapidly increasing unemployment rates” after the Great Recession and youths’ externalizing behaviors (see Schneider, Waldfogel, & Brooks-Gunn, 2016). Until more data are recorded and made available, the national picture remains blurry. Social Forces, 84(2), 1109–1130. For instance, reporting for The Sentencing Project, Rovner (2020) tracks daily fluctuations in numbers of COVID-19 testing and infections across the nation’s juvenile justice systems. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12103-020-09549-x, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12103-020-09549-x, Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips.

Molly Buchanan. In 2009 juvenile Agencies should remove as many barriers as possible in the interest of maintaining interpersonal connections; requiring payment for calls and/or video visitation, especially during a pandemic, is clearly such a barrier. As many states begin phased reopening strategies and lift stay-at-home restrictions, speculation surrounding the effects of such changes on juvenile delinquency is increasing. Civil citation (alternative to arrest) diversionary practices with Florida juveniles are tracked across the state and made publicly available (e.g., see FDJJ, 2020). Nevertheless, on any given day in 2018 nearly 195,000 youths were still detained in facilities across the U.S. (OJJDP, 2020b). Criminal activities of a minor child, or serious disobedience the parents cannot control. In short, we may all be battling the same COVID-19 storm but are not all sharing the same boat. 210–237). Criminal Justice and Behavior, 40(5), 497–518. Unfortunately, outside volunteers who may specialize in instructional needs for youths with learning differences are also not permitted in facilities due to COVID-19 protocols. Feld, B. C. (2017). Additional lower risk clients who are identified as having adequate alternative supports (e.g., family supervision) may find themselves with fewer probation/parole conditions to meet. To forecast the immediate future, we draw from decades of research on juvenile delinquency and the justice system, as well as from reported patterns of reactions and responses to an unprecedented and ongoing situation.

Even less attached caregivers are likely to know the whereabouts and activities of juveniles in their homes. Routine activities and individual deviant behavior. For many poor inner-city youths, juvenile delinquency begins with participation in the drug trade. Denial of these in-person contacts in either structured (e.g., school) or unstructured (e.g., leisure) time spent with peers (Hawdon, 1996; Haynie & Osgood, 2005; Hoeben, Meldrum, Walker, & Young, 2016) is likely to decrease individual proclivity for delinquency. Berkeley: University of California Press. Juvenile Delinquency offers a timely and comprehensive look at the issues of criminal behavior and justice related to young persons. Hawdon, J. E. (1999). In J. L. Mahoney, R. W. Larson, & J. S. Eccles (Eds. For instance, several states have reopened retail businesses, restaurants, and bars. Pratt, T. C., Cullen, F. R., Sellers, C. S., Winfree, T. L., Madensen, T. D., & Daigle, L. E. (2010). These services engage juveniles, their families, educators, community organizations and stakeholders, plus an extensive aftercare team. (2017). For example, as a result of the redistributed workload stemming from reductions in confinement during COVID-19, youths making adequate progress and nearing the end of probation/parole may be phased out earlier than expected. https://www.dys.ohio.gov/Home/COVID-19-Updates-from-DYS. For instance, pursuant the COVID-19 outbreak, state and local non-profit agencies relaxed hiring protocols (e.g., fast-tracking background checks), reallocated budgets, and even altered shift and schedule styles (e.g., “firefighter-style” shifts of 48 h on/5 days off).Footnote 7 Again, in congregate settings, especially with juveniles, staff consistency and patience are key elements to maintaining the milieu. Pediatrics, 129(1), 232–246. The community. It’s F**ing Chaos: COVID-19’s Impact on Juvenile Delinquency and Juvenile Justice. In R. J. Bonnie, R. L. Johnson, B. M. Chemers, & J.

Compare the approach that two different Californian cities take to deal The United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines) assert that “youthful behaviour or conduct that … This may be the result of: a. Based on reasons like these, we predict an initial spike in delinquency rates that reach similar or perhaps surpass levels observed prior to the pandemic. (1992). Given all of the changes brought about by COVID-19 protocols, we turn our attention to what we might expect for the system and for juvenile delinquency as things return to a new normal. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) CDC’s response: Situation summary. Even in times of declining delinquency rates, the mere confluence of crisis, conservative rhetoric, political climate, and media hype can entirely trump deep-rooted paternalistic approaches to youths (e.g., Get Tough era) (Bernard, 1992). Guidance to juvenile courts on conducting remote hearings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sampson, R. J. Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 aims to replace the existing Indian Juvenile Delinquency Law, Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, so that juveniles in conflict with the law in the age group 16-18, involved in Heinous Offences, can be First, official reports of delinquency prior to the pandemic were showing the lowest arrest rates since such data were tracked. A related concern, especially for administrators, continues to be if and when essential employees become ill (or quit) at rates that leave facilities understaffed. Social Science Research, 86(1), 1–12. New York: NYU Press. Regions and states included Northeastern: Massachusetts (MA), Maine (ME), New York (NY); Southern: Florida (FL), Maryland (MD), North Carolina (NC); Midwestern: Illinois (IL), Ohio (OH); and Western: California (CA), Colorado (CO). Beyond the impact of these social limitations and time spent with peers, business closures, particularly of retail establishments, plus fewer pedestrians, serve to limit opportunities for crimes like robbery, burglary, and larceny. This point also serves to underscore the fact that reductions in confined populations are not absolute reductions across the juvenile system. Making predictions about COVID-19’s current and future impact warrants a brief look at the patterns of juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice before the outbreak. Program staff report that the substitutes for “school” are not going over smoothly and both staff and youths are growing increasingly frustrated with the changes (CJJA, 2020a). Such practices were also economically attractive, with far lower costs for community-based alternatives (e.g., $75 per day, on average) compared to confinement (e.g., $407.58 per day, on average; see Justice Policy Institute, 2014). Altschuler, D. M., & Armstrong, T. (1994). School shutdowns, coupled with caregivers who may be working from home, furloughed, or recently unemployed as a result of COVID-19, implies that youths are under more adult supervision. “Juveniles accounted for 16% of all violent crimes arrests and 32% of all property crime arrests in 1999. As of 2018, juvenile courts diverted 43% of cases to community-based services rather than more formally involving youths in adjudication processes (OJJDP, 2020a). Recommendations for youth justice systems during COVID-19 emergency. The prevalence of offending tends to increase from late childhood, peak in the teenage years (from 15 to 19) and then decline in the early 20s. Efforts to “flatten the curve” of COVID-19 diagnoses resulted in ordinances that largely affected everyone’s day-to-day routines. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Lastly, through varied pursuits undertaken in the name of “child saving,” today’s juvenile justice system has the delicate task of balancing perceptions of public safety with trends towards prevention and intervention, all while not looking (or being) too soft on delinquency. The National Juvenile Defender Center [NJDC] weighed in on this emerging practice, underscoring that remote proceedings should be used only when “targeted at increasing youths’ liberty”. Similarly, the lack of movement in public spaces and increased presence of capable guardians through stay-at-home orders may make neighborhood prowling behavior more conspicuous, perhaps especially for juveniles given the concern over youths being asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19. The utility of highly structured, staff-regulated milieus in congregate justice-related settings is not only directed at safety and control. Our forecasts begin with an examination of the impact of measures taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on the prevalence and incidence of delinquent behavior. To enable Verizon Media and our partners to process your personal data select 'I agree', or select 'Manage settings' for more information and to manage your choices. Community-based diversionary practices show to be more cost-effective and safer for youths’ health. Historically, we have seen how crises and moral panics (Cohen, 2002) can fuel public buy-in to views of juveniles as the enemy (e.g., superpredators (DiIulio, 1995)). While court dockets have largely been suspended, hearings that must occur are most often held virtually.Footnote 6 Using North Carolina and Massachusetts as examples, local departments and agencies are using tablets for virtual proceedings with “on call judges” via videoconference. Deal, T. M. (2018). This is where differences in the scale of wraparound services across different states becomes glaringly distinct; providing a continuum of care for 20 versus 200 youths released in the past month requires very different levels of attention (and funding). Arresting ideas: Tougher law enforcement is driving down urban crime. For instance, adolescents commit crime because they think in this way they can earn a living. Results from a recent survey of a subset of agencies active in the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s [AECF] Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative showed significant drops in the number of detained youths across 30 reporting states. This question segues to the next topics of jurisdictional differences in a) which agencies or stakeholders actually hold the authority to release youths and b) how hurried decisions to release youths (or not) are made. As we all recover from a whirlwind of reprioritizing in response to COVID-19, for guidance as to how the system should (or could) respond to juvenile delinquency, we turn to observations made after the financial collapse of 2008. In this way, juvenile delinquency is the child and adolescent version of crime. The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 82(1), 156–210. (2020). A., & Pinals, D. A. They are just as worried for their loved ones as everyone else. We must keep in mind that the near century of evidence overwhelmingly shows that there is no panacea or quick fix to juvenile delinquency. ), Organized activities as contexts of development: Extracurricular activities, after-school and community programs (pp. Secondly, reducing COVID-19 restrictions will simultaneously decrease levels of adolescent supervision and increase opportunities for peer interactions. To successfully do so, however, we must avoid being swayed by potential moral panics or conservative rhetoric that may surface as a result of anticipated increases in delinquency. Sampson, R. J., & Laub, J. H. (1994). Support for restorative justice in a sample of U.S. university students. State juvenile justice officials reduce juveniles held in custody, institute operational changes in response to coronavirus. Teams may include probation or parole officers, as well as social service and/or local non-profit caseworkers. In J. Q. Wilson & J. Petersilia (Eds. Likewise, the economy will eventually right itself and employment opportunities for both adolescents and their families should return. Family influences such as a history of physical or sexual abuse, frequent fighting and conflict between parents, lack of supervision, and ineffective discipline are all contributing factors to juvenile delinquency. During the height of the pandemic, for instance, strict stay-at-home orders limited individual movement to only that which was deemed “essential.” Such restrictions to individual movements have widespread consequences for youths and their potential engagement in delinquency. In states still permitting emergency intakes, however, arriving youths must remain isolated for 14 days after admission. This latter consideration is paramount for how we move forward if and when delinquency rates increase. Wright, A. L., Sonin, K., Driscoll, J., & Wilson, J. New York: Russel Sage Foundation. Without peers to engage in activities with, the situational motivation and perhaps opportunity to engage in antisocial behavior is limited (Hawdon, 1996, 1999). As a post-COVID-19 society emerges, the global and national pictures may be temporarily bleak. 1). This trend, however, is not necessarily new to law enforcement’s playbook for handling juveniles. Justice by geography: Urban, suburban, and rural variations in juvenile justice administration. The evolution of the juvenile court: Race, politics, and the criminalizing of juvenile justice. But does that mean that there is no solution to it. They also list valid concerns about using remote hearings for juvenile cases, such as issues with due process considerations and general barriers to attorney effectiveness in their juvenile clients’ cases (NJDC, 2020). Our theoretical arguments integrate components and findings based in opportunity theories and changes to youths’ routine activities and time use, as well as aspects of youths’ peer associations and informal social control agents (e.g., caregiver monitoring, adult supervision). For a state agency to ignore decades of empirical evidence of a key element for improving youths’ success is alarming. For reasons like these, juvenile advocates and justice-focused thinktanks (e.g., American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU]; The Sentencing Project) work to underscore the valid fears and concerns surrounding continued confinement of youths during a pandemic. We view states’ varied responses to COVID-19 and the unprecedented speeds at which many agencies reduced confined populations and restructured community services as such seminal events. Juvenile justice model data project: Final technical report. There are limited options for quarantining without mimicking conditions of solitary confinement; such isolation is known to have long-lasting deleterious effects on anyone, especially higher-risk youths (YCLJ, 2020). First and foremost, from a routine activities perspective (Cohen & Felson, 1979), as stay-at-home orders are lifted, movement of suitable targets will slowly increase, thereby creating opportunities. International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, 61(2), 229–245. The social factors most importantly have been found causing more problems in the juvenil… We culminate our review with evidence-based, theoretically-oriented recommendations that are couched in the belief that “most Americans will agree that our children are our greatest national resource” (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention [OJJDP], 2016, p.1). Child Development, 65(2), 523–540. Relaxing restrictions will also facilitate movement among motivated offenders whose abilities to be in places where crime, particularly property crime, could occur were previously limited. From our analysis of what has occurred with juveniles and the justice system since COVID-19, we cautiously explicate ensuing predictions of what is likely to occur as sectors gradually reopen and additional social restrictions are lifted. The near 9% decline in reported community-based contact is a difference of 742 youths versus 679 youths in February and March 2020, respectively. (2020). Some businesses, particularly in the service arena where youths commonly secure summer employment, have failed because of the pandemic (Kochhar & Barroso, 2020). The most successful practices for youths returning from facilities often entail collaborative, wraparound-style services. A continuum of care from social service agencies and caseworkers to educational supports and reunification-reintegration services should, at a minimum, be considered prior to release. Lastly, social control theories (e.g., see Hirschi, 1969) suggest that parental supervision and monitoring are key protective factors against juvenile delinquency (Liu & Miller, 2020). Hirschi, T. (1969). It affects parents, neighbors, teachers, and families. However juvenile delinquency can be prevented by offering bullying prevention, violence prevention curriculums and mentoring programs. An early examination of the impact of COVID-19 on juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice in America, this review provides initial scholarship to rapidly evolving areas of research. Such stay-at-home mandates further increase the likelihood that caregivers are aware of youths’ movements and activities. The empirical status of social learning theory: A meta-analysis.
