This program is fundamental to the County’s Local Action Plan which seeks to decrease juvenile crime. JJCPA also addresses the County’s outcome measure for ensuring countywide safety and survival through effective interventions, thereby contributing to the County’s effort in enhancing public safety. 2005 2005 5,940 2005 11,610
County of Los Angeles Annual Report 2006-2007 Countywide Condition: Probation youth school performance 92% Percentage of high school probationers with improved school attendance Indicator of County Performance: Probationers and high-risk youth on school campuses are provided prevention and intervention services to enhance school performance and reduce delinquency For 2005-06: 92% Percentage of Probation youth graduating high school 90% Percentage of probationers successfully completing probation without a sustained petition Why is this important? Research indicates there is a link between school success and criminal behavior. Many youth, particularly in high-risk areas, perform poorly in school and are at high risk for involvement in delinquency and gang membership. Evidence suggests that academic failure is related to the onset of delinquency, as well as escalation in the frequency and seriousness of criminal behavior. The most important youth risk factors include truancy, dropouts, suspensions, lack of interest and commitment, and difficulties relating with peers and teachers. Research literature also shows that youth who attend school, who believe in the value of school, and who are involved both academically and socially are less likely to come in contact with the criminal justice system. The JJCPA School-Based Supervision program provides a much-needed service for high crime and high need areas in the County. How are we doing? School officials indicate that the presence of deputy probation officers (DPOs) on campuses continue to have a significant impact on the behavior of probation and nonprobation youth—there have been fewer gang incidents and fights. Based on comparison group studies and the six JJCPA-mandated outcomes reflected on the graph below, program participants’ arrests, incarcerations and probation violations were lower, while completion of probation, restitution and community service were higher than comparison groups. This impact is attributed to the continued and effective operation of the School- Based Supervision Program.
