Syracuse Recovery Community SyracuseYouth Services works with court-involved youth who would otherwise remain in detention or face placement in a juvenile or adult correctional facility. Referrals can be made at any stage in the juvenile/criminal justice process: bail, plea, sentence and disposition. CCA provides court advocacy for youth including development of client-specific, alternative-to-detention plans and intensive supervision. A client-specific plan is based on a review of the case and investigation including interviews with the youth, family members and others. If the youth is eligible, the plan will advocate for an alternative to detention based on the specific circumstance of the case. In addition, the plan will include recommendations on case management, supervision of school attendance, curfews, home visits, enrollment in CCA youth services and referrals to community-based services as needed. If the Court agrees to the plan, then the young person is accepted by CCA and given a case manager. Monthly reports are made to the Court, the County Attorney and/or Probation. CCA's Youth Services demonstrate that intensive support and care for young offenders can effectively reduce the use of detention and custodial placement without sacrificing public safety.

    http://www.ifh.org.uk/nysasdri_project.html
    
    Extractions: Young people in less developed countries are one of the most likely groups to experience SRH problems such as STIs, HIV/AIDS, unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion, and to suffer sexual violence. The latest UN figures for India demonstrate a significant increase in HIV/AIDS cases from 4.58 million at the end of 2002, up from 3.97 million the previous year. Young people need to be made aware that their behaviour can put them at risk of HIV/AIDS. As a consequence, IFH, together with National Youth Service Action and Social Development Research Institute (NYSASDRI), have developed a project looking at strengthening SRH youth advocacy networks in Orissa, India. The project goal is to reduce poverty among vulnerable young people by improving their SRH. The project will contribute to this goal by increasing the ability of disadvantaged young people to effectively advocate for improved SRH rights and services at the local, state and national levels of government. To achieve this objective, the project will strengthen a network of 60 youth groups.
