parking, destruction of property, and public urination) by impaired students both on and off campus of Towson University, the second largest public university in the state with an enrollment of more than 21,000 students. These efforts included: • Forming a two-man special alcohol enforcement unit to monitor student behavior off campus. Officers worked to increase student and community awareness by patrolling the most problematic areas on weekends and college party nights. • Instituting university policy to address students’ disorderly and disruptive behavior off campus and informing students that the university would take judicial action for inappropriate offcampus behavior. • Implementing responsible server practices among liquor licensees in the community and increasing penalties tenfold for licensees who repeatedly violated liquor laws. ParentsEmpowered.org in Utah (see www.parentsempowered.org) Led by the Utah Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, this is a media and education campaign to prevent and reduce underage drinking in Utah by providing parents and guardians with information about the harmful effects of alcohol on the developing teen brain, along with proven skills for preventing underage alcohol use. Many state agencies and other organizations are partners in the campaign, including: Attorney General’s Office, Department of Health, Department of Public Safety/ Highway Patrol and Highway Safety Office, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Juvenile Court, State Office of Education, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.)/Utah Chapter, Utah Prevention Network, and Utah Substance Abuse and Anti-Violence Coordinating Council. With regard to community corrections’ involvement in the campaign, the Utah Juvenile Court works to combat underage drinking among youth offenders who enter the court system on alcohol-related charges or through substance abuse treatment and educational prevention services. In either case, juvenile court workers will have to supervise such offenders during the course of their involvement in the court system. Supervision includes making referrals to treatment programs on behalf of the offenders, as well as ensuring that offenders comply with the conditions set forth by the judge. 98
APPENDIX B additional information on adolescent brain development Alcohol and Adolescent Development Adolescence is a period of biological, psychological, and sociological changes. Girls usually achieve physical maturity by their late teens while boys often continue growing even into their early 20s. Recent research also indicates that brain development continues into the mid-20s. In this document, therefore, young people between ages 18 and 21 are included in this description of adolescence, even though they are legally considered adults for some purposes. They still are undergoing developmental changes. Exhibit 1 depicts the interactive course of adolescent development and illustrates some of the factors that influence youth development. The circular arrows represent the reciprocal nature of each system that surrounds a youth. The individual adolescent is viewed as the center of our consideration and is situated within progressively larger spheres of influence, including the family, environment, and social context. Within each of these spheres are various elements that affect a youth’s development. Beginning in the center, a youth’s genetic makeup and biological processes, as well as nutrition, are among the individual factors that influence development. Next, the family (or family surrogate) forms the most immediate realm of influence around the individual child. The degree of family accord or conflict affects the youth, as do family values and religious beliefs. Family income affects the housing and neighborhood in which the family is able to live. This environmental context then determines many opportunities and services available to youth, including schools, health care, social welfare, and employment opportunities. Neighborhood and school factors also largely determine peer group associations. Finally, at the outer level, the social context—made up of laws and policies, social structures, and economic conditions— shapes all layers within this sphere. Institutional racism, sexism, classism, and ageism are rooted in the social context and affect the composition of the environment and the opportunities available to families and youth. 99
