Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Using Correctional Education Data: Issues and Strategies, January 1997 2. Collecting Correctional Education Data To many, the collection of correctional education data might initially seem daunting. Inmates transfer between facilities and programs making it difficult to track participants and their educational progress. Even the simplest and best designed data collection efforts take time, time that seems even more valuable when resources are tight. Computerized data collection, certainly the most efficient way to gather information on a routine basis, requires equipment and expertise. Data collection does not have to be an overwhelming enterprise, however. A few pertinent data elements can go a long way toward providing program administrators with useful information. The up-front effort of establishing a system entails some time, energy, expertise, and money. Once established, the availability of information and the subsequent increase in efficiency far outweigh the effort and cost of establishing a system. This section of the handbook presents the types of data elements that states and facilities should consider collecting about correctional education programs and participants. These data elements encompass all aspects of inmates' correctional histories, from intake to post-release, as well as selected social and demographic characteristics. As such, the data system that would result from collecting the suggested information goes beyond the needs of documenting correctional education program activity.

Poorly developed social skills and lack of ability to comprehend questions and warnings increase the likelihood that disabled offenders will be committed to correctional facilities, and may make these youths vulnerable to inequitable treatment by the juvenile justice system. For example, youths with mental retardation may: * Not understand the rights read to them. * Confess and say what they think another person wants to hear. * Have difficulty communicating with lawyers and court personnel.

Extractions: Vol. 15, Issue 1 Back to the Future: Returning Treatment to Juvenile Justice By Stacey Gurian-Sherman In the movie Back to the Future, Michael J. Fox plays a teenage boy living with a sister and their parents in a dismal reality that is uninspiring and antagonistic. Through some fluke, he travels back in time, corrects the family's problem, and returns-"back to the future"-where all traces of family dysfunction have been eradicated. For a great many children in the juvenile justice system, especially those with behavioral or mental health issues, the present reality is dismal. Out of control caseloads and dockets make it difficult, if not impossible, to retrieve crucial information, such as previous diagnoses, and medical and special education records. When available, such information can be taken out of context, misunderstood, or misapplied by probation officers, judges, and lawyers. This problem can be compounded by inadequate consultation and assessment by mental health and other professionals. The result is that nationwide too many children are needlessly placed in detention facilities and institutions, which do not provide needed treatment and rehabilitative services. Moreover, these children are supervised by untrained and underpaid staff who too often resort to verbal and physical abuse. Yet these are the "lucky" ones because state and federal laws increasingly are eviscerating the authority of judges to keep children in juvenile court. Instead, mandates require removal of children at younger and younger ages to the adult system where specialized services for children are virtually nonexistent.

Extractions: An Introduction By Myrna S. Raeder M y long-standing concern about the growing number of women facing incarceration and the resulting impact on their children became one of my priorities when I chaired the Criminal Justice Section in 1998. Females had been "forgotten" by the criminal justice community until very recently when their ever-escalating numbers finally made them impossible to ignore. By 1998, the number of women being arrested had skyrocketed to 3 million, and the number of women under correctional supervision had ballooned to one out of every 109 adult women or an estimated 950,000 women. ( See generally Women Offenders , Bureau of Just. Stat. Rep. (1999).) Females now account for approximately 6 percent of state prisoners; 11 percent of jailed inmates; 21 percent of all arrests, 21 percent of those on probation; and 16 percent of convicted felons. Although these number pale in comparison to those of male offenders, they represent a dramatic shift in the way society deals with female criminality. As several of the articles detail, many women offenders have been victims of physical and sexual violence. Although that is not an excuse for their crimes, it is impossible to ignore in their treatment if we truly want them to become productive members of society. For example, drugs offenses have fueled the explosion in women's incarceration. Yet some women turn to substance abuse as a way of self-medicating themselves to avoid coping with the underlying traumas associated with their abuse. It is unrealistic to assume these women will stop using drugs unless the cause of their substance abuse is treated.
Extractions: The Department of the Youth Authority is responsible for the protection of society from the criminal and delinquent behavior of young people (generally ages 12 to 24, average age 19). The department operates training and treatment programs that seek to educate, correct, and rehabilitate youthful offenders rather than punish them. The department operates 11 institutions, including two reception centers/clinics and four conservation camps. In addition, the department supervises parolees through 16 offices located throughout the state. The budget proposes total expenditures of $414 million for the Youth Authority in 2003-04. This is $12.2 million, or about 3 percent, below estimated current-year expenditures. General Fund expenditures are proposed to total $336.8 million in the budget year, a decrease of $17.8 million, or 5 percent, below expenditures in 2002-03. The department's proposed General Fund expenditures include $37.4 million in Proposition 98 education funds. The Youth Authority also estimates that it will receive about $75.3 million in reimbursements in 2003-04. These reimbursements primarily come from fees paid by counties for wards sent to the Youth Authority. The primary reason for the proposed decrease in General Fund spending in the budget year is due to projected decreases in the institution and parole populations.

Extractions: home issues join the greens policies ... contact us Tuesday Jun 8, 2004 Criminal Justice Revised September 2002 Edited January 2003 The Greens NSW support a just and effective criminal justice system, which achieves community safety and crime reduction, while protecting the human and civil rights of all. The Greens NSW believe the policies which seriously help to reduce crime are based on early intervention, social welfare, reducing child abuse, alleviating poverty, adequate and appropriate education, training and employment programs, rehabilitative programs and treating the drug and alcohol problem as a health and social issue. 1.1 'Law and order' auctions, for instance tough criminal laws which seek to gain electoral advantage by playing on people's fear and generating scapegoats to appease public insecurity, have typified NSW election politics over the last decade but have failed to deliver justice, reduce crime rates, increase community safety or address community fears. They have delivered a harsh, punitive and divided society, a society which inevitably inflicts its harshness on disadvantaged and powerless groups. This creates misery and generates new sets of victims while appeasing others. The Greens NSW do not support this US style neo-conservative justice model.

Extractions: Reprinted with permission For years, as a criminal defense attorney, I have consistently advocated for treatment for my clients in lieu of punishment or, at the very least, in addition to it. It has always been my belief that the only hope of reducing recidivism is to address the reasons or criminal conduct, as opposed to blind punishment. This message is harder to convey as crime increases and tolerance decreases. And, as significant as this message is, it is even more critical in the context of the juvenile justice system. Despite this importance, this message is often missed or ignored. While the experts debate the pros and cons of rehabilitation for adults, the juvenile justice system poses a much more complex problem. First, by definition, the juvenile justice system involves children. Presumably the argument for rehabilitation is stronger with children and adolescents because there is a larger window of opportunity in their future. Conversely, a shorter period of antisocial behavior, relative to their adult counterparts in the criminal justice system, would logically lend itself to a more optimistic view toward rehabilitation. What further complicates the issue is that children under a certain age have a right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This obligation remains, despite charges of delinquency and potential

Extractions: New Zealand has the second highest rate of violent crime in the developed world, with only South Africa showing worse statistics. This appalling situation has led to much agonising and soul-searching within the community and to intensified debates on what can be done to deal with the problem. Experience both here and in other countries does not suggest that adopting a heavily punitive approach to the offender has any consistent or lasting effect in constraining criminal behaviour. It may, in fact, have a brutalising influence in society that acts to support, rather than reduce, anti-social trends. For crime in any society is yet another reflection of the collective consciousness of that society. Unless it is tackled at that fundamental level, efforts to control it will be inadequate. The establishment of large coherence-creating groups is therefore the key to success in this area, as it is with respect to all other social problems. Only a holistic approach can deal effectively with imbalances in society, whatever their origin and character. Trying to deal with a problem just on the level of that problem may produce marginal improvements in some aspect or other of the situation, but it will not bring a lasting solution to the whole problem area.
