Corrections In fiscal year 2007, females accounted for 11 percent of all commitments of youth ages 13 to 16 years old to IDOC or 145 of 1,362 commitments. Furthermore, females accounted for 10 percent of 13 to 16 year olds committed for new adjudications by the court. Fifty-two percent of females’ commitments to IDOC youth facilities of 13 to 16 year olds were for offenses against a person and 35 percent were for property offenses. In comparison, 39 percent of males’ commitments were for offenses against a person and 43 percent were for property offenses. Mental health An evaluation of the Illinois Mental Health and Juvenile Justice Initiative found that youth who participated in the initiative and received treatment had lower rates of recidivism compared to detained youth who do not receive mental health treatment. Forty-two percent of youth in the program in fiscal year 2003 were re-arrested by 2006, the most recent year data were available, compared to a re-arrest rate of 72 percent for all youth detained in Illinois. Dually involved youth Dually involved youth are those involved in both the state’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Although there are challenges in obtaining data on these youth, an estimate can be made based on DCFS data. According to those limited data, 312 cases showed youth involvement in both DCFS and juvenile justice on December 31, 2007. Specialized courts Many jurisdictions may have specialized courts that focus on one issue in the juvenile justice system. Some examples of these may be mental health courts, drug courts, female courts, and community courts. Juvenile drug courts focus on substance abusing youth in juvenile justice cases and/or substance abusing family members in child protection cases. Four juvenile drug courts are active or in the planning stages in Cook, Peoria, Kane, and Will counties, according to the Illinois Association of Drug Court Professionals. Juvenile justice councils Juvenile justice councils are collaborative groups of juvenile justice professionals and community representatives who address youth crime in their communities. Statewide data on juvenile justice councils for 2005 were not available. In 2003, the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts found that 50 counties had convened juvenile justice councils or were participating on circuit-wide juvenile justice councils. viii
Youth courts Youth courts, also called teen courts and peer juries, are programs in which young volunteers hear cases of youth delinquency or school misconduct and make recommendations. In fiscal year 2007 Illinois had 132 operational youth court programs in existence around the state, including 31 within schools. Record expungement Under Illinois law, until January 1, 2010, a youth who is arrested prior to turning 17 can seek expungement of his/her juvenile records at the age of 18 or when all juvenile court proceedings for the youth are finished, whichever is later. After January 1, 2010, a youth who is arrested for a misdemeanor offense prior to turning 18 can seek expungement of his/her juvenile records. Youth arrested for felony offenses may only seek expungement in certain circumstances if the arrest occurred before their 17 th birthdays. The existence of a juvenile or criminal record can be a barrier to individuals trying to gain employment, housing, credit, scholarships, and certain licensing. State initiatives Redeploy Illinois Redeploy Illinois (Public Act 93-641) took effect December 31, 2003. The Act provides counties with funding for community-based services for nonviolent youth who would otherwise be committed to the juvenile division of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). Redeploy Illinois programs exist in Macon, Peoria, and St. Clair counties and the Second Judicial Circuit (which serves Crawford, Edwards, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Jefferson, Lawrence, Richland, Wabash, Wayne, and White counties). In fiscal year 2007, Peoria County reduced their youth commitments to IDOC by 38 percent and St. Clair County reduced theirs by 37 percent. In calendar year 2007, Macon County reduced their youth commitments to IDOC by 65 percent, and the Second Judicial Circuit reduced theirs by 41 percent. Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative The Annie E. Casey Foundation established the nationwide Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative. The objectives of Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative are to reduce the number of children unnecessarily or inappropriately detained. The Foundation tested the initiative in five pilot sites nationwide, including one in Cook County. Building on the success of the Cook County initiative, the Illinois Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative was formed to promote its objectives throughout Illinois. It is coordinated by the several partners, which include the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services, Administrative Offices of the Illinois Courts, Annie E. Casey Foundation, Cook County Juvenile probation and Court Services Department, and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority. Detention alternatives initiatives are active in DuPage, Lake, Madison, Peoria, St. Clair, and Winnebago counties, the Second Judicial Circuit, the Fourth Judicial Circuit, the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, and the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. ix
