Sentencing Probation On Dec. 31, 2007, there was an active youth probation caseload of 9,768 statewide—a rate of 779 for every 100,000 youth ages 10 to 16 and a 12 percent decrease in the statewide rate from 2002. In formal probation On Dec. 31, 2007, there was an active informal probation caseload of 3,341 in Illinois—a rate of 266 for every 100,000 youth ages 10 to 16 and a 129 percent rate increase from 2002. D elinquency petitions continued under supervision In calendar year 2007, 2,215 youth delinquency cases were continued under supervision in Illinois—a rate of 177 for every 100,000 youth age 10-16 and a 62 percent decrease in rate from calendar year 2002. However, Cook County data for calendar year 2007 were unavailable. In 2003, the most recent year Cook County data are available, 3,946 delinquency petitions were continued under supervision in Cook County. C orrections In fiscal year 2007, 2,333 youth were admitted to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ). Of those, the court committed 1,545 youth, or 66 percent of all youth admissions to IDJJ were for new adjudications. The remaining admissions to IDJJ were a result of technical violations of parole or mandatory supervised release. Of all admissions to IDJJ in fiscal year 2007, 1,362 (58 percent) were between the ages of 13 and 16. Of these youth, the court committed 1,204 (88 percent). The remaining admissions for 13 to 16 year olds were for technical violations of parole or mandatory supervised release. In fiscal year 2007, 1,362 juveniles between the ages of 13 and 16 were admitted to IDJJ—a rate of 165 admissions for every 100,000 youth ages 13 to 16 and a 38 percent decrease from the rate in fiscal year 1997 (267). Most youth ages 13 to 16 committed for new adjudications were committed for a property or person offense (42 and 41 percent respectively) in fiscal year 2007. More than half (56 percent) of youth ages 13 to 16 committed to IDJJ for new adjudications were black, 34 percent were white, and 10 percent were Hispanic. Eighty-nine percent of youth committed to IDOC for new adjudications were male. There were 1,780 youth released on parole in fiscal year 2007, a one percent increase from the 1,961 youth released in 1997. Sixty-six percent of the youth released on parole in 2007 were 17 years of age or older. On June 30, 2007, there were 2,084 youth on parole. vi
Special issues Disproportionate minority contact Disproportionate minority contact is the overrepresentation of minority youth in the juvenile justice system. The relative rate index measures disproportionate minority contact by using the rate at which minority youth are involved at a stage of the juvenile justice process compared to the rate at which a reference group is involved at the same stage of the process. In Illinois, the appropriate reference group is white youth. The Authority accessed three sources of statewide data on youth to assess disproportionate minority contact at three points in the process: arrest, detention, and IDJJ commitment. The following are based on the calculated relative rate index. Arrests In calendar year 2007, arrest rates of black youth in Illinois were five and a half times that of white arrest rates. Detention In calendar year 2007, detention rates of black youth in Illinois were six and a half times that of white detention rates. Corrections In Illinois, in fiscal year 2007, commitment rates to IDJJ of black youth ages 13 to 16 were five times that of white youth. Status offenders Each detainment of a status offender is a violation of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. A status offense is any offense that is specifically applicable to juveniles because of their age. Illinois recorded 57 violations for the detainment of status offenders in calendar year 2007. Females in the juvenile justice system Arrests In calendar year 2007, female youth accounted for 22 percent of all youth arrests reported to the CCH system. Thirty-three percent of all female arrests were for offenses against a person. In comparison, 26 percent of male arrests were for offenses against a person. Detention Females accounted for 2,445 (17 percent) of 14,154 admissions of 10 to 16 year olds to secure detention statewide in calendar year 2007. Forty-eight percent of female detention admissions were for offenses against a person, compared to 30 percent of male’s admissions. vii
