    Extractions: Links THE EFFECTS OF WITNESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CHILDREN What children experience growing up in a violent home: Danger - Children may become the intended victim in the violence. They also may accidentally get caught in the middle of the violence and become hurt or killed. Chaos - Moods change quickly in the child’s home, so they are never sure what to expect. This puts a child on guard at all times. Fear and Tension - Children in violent homes will become afraid of everyone and everything because they never know what to expect. They will generally learn not to trust anyone. They begin to believe that anyone can hurt them, so it is better to just stay away. Confusion - The child in a violent home learns that hitting is used to solve problems. However, those outside the home are telling them that hitting is wrong. Isolation - In violent families, the family generally becomes cut off from the outside world. The child then withdraws from friends and adults.

    Extractions: JJPL What We Do Youth Prison Conditions Youth Advocacy Alternatives To Incarceration Youth Advocacy Photo by Nadine Batya Children are filling our juvenile courts every day without the support of a true advocate to help them and their families understand the system. Despite the fact the every child accused of a crime has a right to a defense attorney, young people across the state are finding themselves facing serious legal consequences without a dedicated juvenile defender to fight on their behalf. Not only are children and their families rarely aware of their legal rights, few public defenders have the time or resources to explain them, let alone adequately represent them. A recent report entitled The Children Left Behind describes the numerous barriers to effective representation for delinquent youth in Louisiana, including crushing caseloads, lack of training and supervision, inadequate funding, high use of pleas and waiver, and an over-reliance on probation officers. In July 2002, the American Bar Association Juvenile Justice Center released The Children Left Behind Annual Update . The Annual Update was prepared in collaboration with the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana in order to update stakeholders on the status of juvenile defense since the publication of the original ABA assessment last June. By fighting to keep young people out of the system and advocating for appropriate community-based interventions when necessary, zealous advocates ensure that children have the best opportunities for success, thereby strengthening both the communities where they live and the core values of the juvenile justice system. Without effective advocacy too many children are placed in prisons without any effective accountability interventions and with a high likelihood of repeating criminal behavior when they are released. More devastatingly, opportunities for personal growth and development are damaged when youth are locked away from their homes and families. JJPL recognizes the crucial role the juvenile defender plays in protecting children and ultimately, their communities. As such, JJPL represents juvenile clients in individual cases throughout the state through its

    Extractions: Detective Jorge Armenta, Los Angeles Police Department During 1989, the City of Los Angeles Community Development Department was tasked with the responsibility to develop a master plan to coordinate the efforts of community-based counseling agencies within the City of Los Angeles. In February 1990, the Commanding Officer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Juvenile Division was asked to participate in the City of Los Angeles Advisory Task Force to coordinate the efforts of developing a diversion/referral program for at-risk youth. The LAPD Juvenile Division began work to unite the existing LAPD Referral Program and the City’s Youth Advocacy Program. The Youth Advocacy Program (YAP) was designed to form an early intervention system which would refer qualifying at-risk youth and their families to referral agencies, offering treatment and counseling programs to them with the goal of reducing criminal activities and hard-core juvenile delinquency. The program was to operate out of the Juvenile Unit of each LAPD Division. Following Department procedures, juvenile investigators may exercise limited discretion on the disposition of juvenile offenders arrested for a criminal charge under the provisions of 602 of the Welfare and Institution Code (WIC). In most cases, the investigator would request a petition to the juvenile courts through the District Attorney’s Office and the Probation Department for the matter to be addressed in court. On occasion, if the offense is minor, the investigator may send the matter to a referral program.

    Extractions: Missouri State Public Defender System The Youth Advocacy Unit employs attorneys in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas to ensure effective representation of juveniles. Attorneys in the unit also litigate certification proceedings and jury trials in the adult court system, if the child is certified to stand trial as an adult. The Youth Advocacy Unit was created in 1997 in response to a new trend in juvenile legislation putting more emphasis on punishment than on rehabilitation. To more effectively implement the United States Supreme Court ruling that juveniles are entitled to all constitutional protections, the Missouri State Public Defender System created a Youth Advocacy Unit. The unit employs a mix of new and experienced attorneys as well as interns. In addition to the training available to all attorneys in the Trial Division, attorneys in the Youth Advocacy Units also participate in a variety of national training opportunities that specifically address the special issues involved in juvenile defense. The unit also employs investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding the criminal charge. Staff disposition specialists conduct social investigations and locate available resources to help the client with treatment needs.

Spanish articles / Artículos en Español What is youth advocacy? Printer-friendly version Email to a friend Whenever you try to persuade someone to do something or to see something your way, you are engaging in advocacy Activism simply means taking positive, direct action to achieve a political or social end. Webster's defines advocacy as "the action of advocating, pleading for, or supporting" and an advocate as "one who pleads the cause of another." One way to draw the distinction between volunteerism and advocacy is the parable of the Good Samaritan. Parable of the Good Samaritan "A girl was standing at the side of a river and saw someone flailing around in the water. She jumped in and swam toward the drowning man. With all her strength, she managed to save him. As she caught her breath, she saw another person being carried downstream. Again, she leapt into the rushing waters and, though more slowly this time, she dragged this man to safety. But then she heard the screams of more drowning victims. With Herculean effort, she was able to save just one of them. In the meantime, two more victims were swept through the rough water beyond her reach. She spent the rest of the afternoon and every ounce of her strength saving some and losing many others to the raging current. She was so busy being a Good Samaritan that she never had the chance to go upstream and see why all the people were falling into the river."
