PRODUCTS SUPPORT VIRUS INFO Virus analyses ... Articles 17 October 2003 Teen hacker cleared by jury - blames other hackers for port of Houston attack. Sophos comments on difficulties faced by computer crime prosecutors Teenage hacker Aaron Caffrey has walked free from court after being cleared of trying to bring down one of North America's biggest ports by hacking into its computer systems. Aaron Caffrey, 19, was accused of bringing computers to a standstill at the port of Houston in Texas - but was found not guilty by a jury today. This was despite both the prosecution and defence agreeing that Caffrey's machine was responsible for launching the attack, that a list of 11,608 IP addresses of vulnerable servers was found on his hard drive, and the discovery of a malicious script on his system signed by someone called "Aaron". Speaking outside Southwark Crown Court in the UK, Caffrey said he was "very angry" at the way he had been treated by the police. His barrister, Iain Ross, said "He wishes to say that this ordeal has been a dark cloud hanging over him for the last two years. He had always insisted he was not guilty and that he was a victim of a criminal act rather than being a criminal himself." The prosecution had alleged that Caffrey had hacked into the port's computer servers in an attempt to attack a female chatroom user called Bokkie, who had made anti-USA comments online. Caffrey was said to have fallen in love with an American girl called Jessica. He had never met Jessica, but conducted a year-long internet relationship with her. Transcripts of steamy transatlantic exchanges between the couple were read out in court. Caffrey's computer was even named after Jessica, and the malicious attack script which was launched against the port included a dedication to her.

Workshop on Using Civic and Law-Related Education Materials to Teach Character Education To request information about various LRE activities, fill out the information request form A Walking Tour of the Judiciary Each year, the Georgia LRE Program conducts a continuing education workshop for teachers interested in learning and teaching about the law. Plans are now underway for the 2003 workshop, which we think will be especially enriching. Want to be "Published"? Many elementary and middle school teachers are familiar with our collection of lessons for these grade levels, Foundations in Law-Related Education . These lessons are very popular and are used in many schools; however, the teachers that use them often lament that there are not more. To remedy this problem, the Georgia LRE Program will host a workshop in Athens on June 4-5, 2003. Teachers will be invited to attend the workshop and write lessons that will be added to the existing collection. On the first day of the workshop, the participants will hear substantive presentations on the law-based topics that will be the subjects of the lessons they write. On the second day, the participants will work with a professor in the College of Education at UGA to begin writing their lessons. Following the workshop, the participants will return home to put the "finishing touches" on their lessons that will then be submitted to the LRE Program for editing. At the conclusion of the project, the lesson writers will be paid a stipend for their work, and their lessons will be published in a new edition of the

Youth Court: Civic Engagement and Character Education Through Juvenile Accountability Youth Court is a program in which juvenile offenders are questioned, defended and sentenced by their peers. Currently, there are 852 youth courts in place across the United States with 200 courts in development. Youth Courts are the fastest growing crime intervention programs in the nation. They offer ways to engage the community in a partnership with the juvenile justice system to respond to juvenile crimes by increasing the awareness of delinquency issues on a local level and by mobilizing community members and youth to take an active role in addressing the problem. In most youth courts, young offenders are referred for sentencing, rather than for a decision of guilt or innocence. Sentences commonly include community service (1-200 hours), jury duty (up to 12 times), restitution, and apologies. Additional sentencing options include counseling, educational workshops on substance abuse or safe driving, essay writing, victim-awareness classes, curfew, drug testing, school attendance, and peer discussion groups. For the most part, Youth Courts only accept first-time offenders who have committed relatively minor offenses. Rather than handing down harsh juvenile punishment, Youth Courts offer an appropriate level of guidance and correction. Youth Courts share an important goal with law-related education, including a strong potential to improve the citizenship skills of young people.

New Reforms Abound at D.C. International Family Courts Conference Article by John Crouch , Attorney at Law, , Arlington, Virginia; (703) 528-6700; Originally Published in Family Law News, a Va. State Bar Publication The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, a well-known international group of lawyers, judges, mental health professionals, social workers and mediators, held its annual International Conference quite close to the Commonwealth this year, at the Capital Hilton in Washington. A variety of current efforts to reduce divorce got a lot of attention at this conference, as did other present and future policy initiatives that have major and often unforeseen impacts on families. "Examining the Partnership between Policy and Practice" was the theme of the conference. The Devaluation of Divorce Asian Family Law: How Half the World Lives Korea Japan ... Other Family Law Reforms The Devaluation of Divorce Several sessions dealt with how to improve and protect marriage and reduce divorce. David Popenoe, an advocate of marriage and fatherhood, divorce opponent Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, and California court official Isolina Ricci debated how to reduce the damage divorce does to children. Ricci, author of a book called Mom's House, Dad's House, emphasized helping children adjust to divorce (traditionally a major approach of the AFCC, judging by the number of similar materials for sale), while Whitehead and Popenoe focused on reducing divorce and the number of children exposed to it. Wade Horn and others denounced the tax code's "marriage penalty." A workshop was devoted to techniques for "marriage education," which aims to arm couples with skills to handle their disagreements, before therapy or counseling is needed.

Teen Court By Sharon J. Zehner 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.

about contact events resources ... Teen Court Person County Teen Court Program What is it? Teen Court is an alternative system of restorative justice. It is a court where first-time offenders are tried by their peers for misdemeanor offenses. Offenders admit guilt or responsibility and are held accountable for their actions. Student volunteers take the roles of clerks, bailiffs, attorneys and jurors. District and Superior Court judges and attorneys volunteer to serve as Teen Court judges. Teen Court is a "hands on" opportunity for offenders and volunteers to learn about the legal system. It is a vehicle for positive peer pressure. Youth brought before Teen Court as offenders learn to accept responsibility for their actions, and they pay back the community through service and Teen Court duties. The program empowers youth to work on ways to reduce crime and violence in their schools and community. Who may participate? Middle and high school students are needed as volunteers in Teen Court. Student offenders may be referred to Teen Court for such misdemeanors as: Shoplifting Theft Simple assault resulting in no serious injuries Vandalism Possession of alcohol/drugs/tobacco Possession of a weapon (not a gun) on campus Communicating threats Trespassing Students may be referred for such violations as truancy The Teen Court process begins when a referral is received from the Juvenile Intake Court Counselor, court officials, law enforcement officers (including School Resource Officers), or school administrator. If the juvenile does not have a prior record and is willing to admit responsibility for the offense, the case is accepted into the Teen Court program. An interview is scheduled with the juvenile and his/her parent or guardian. The parties sign an agreement to voluntarily participate, with the understanding that criminal charges will not be pursued if the juvenile successfully completes the Teen Court sentence. During the intake interview, rules and regulations for the program are discussed and a Teen Court appearance date is set. The juvenile is assured that all Teen Court proceedings will be held in strict confidence.

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.
