SECTION IV: CONTEXT FOR RESPONDING TO UNDERAGE DRINKING Laying the Groundwork: Understanding the Community In order to develop the best response to underage drinking—both in the community as a whole and in dealing with individual youth, a general assessment of the nature of the underage drinking problem in the jurisdiction can be very helpful. Some questions that should be addressed include: • What type of underage drinking is occurring? What are the demographics of youth who are being arrested, prosecuted for, and/or convicted of underage drinking? How many are diverted from arrest, prosecution, and/or formal adjudication for underage drinking? • What problems have been experienced in the community because of underage drinking? Consider health, social, and financial consequences. • Do existing programs for supervising juvenile and young adult offenders convicted of underage drinking, as well as those who are diverted from the formal justice system, adequately address the problems of these youth? What are the rates of recurrence of underage drinking offenses among those who have been supervised by the court system and/or community corrections? • What are community attitudes toward the supervision of underage drinking offenders? Does the community see it as public protection, offender punishment, or offender rehabilitation? 26
• Can the agency obtain enough resources (e.g., funding, personnel) to deal effectively with the additional supervision responsibilities that may be generated through an emphasis on supervising underage drinking offenders? • Can the agency and other parts of the justice system adequately respond to violations by youth when they occur? Such an assessment of needs and resources not only provides a community with a better understanding of the issues associated with underage drinking, it also emphasizes the collaboration between agencies and programs within a community. The information from an assessment can help the community respond effectively to underage drinking offenders, from the first moment of interaction. Dealing with Offenders: Decision Options The first contact community supervision personnel may have with underage drinking offenders may occur before a case is adjudicated (pretrial release and diversion), during the sentencing phase of the adjudication process, or following adjudication when the youth or young adult enters a period of community supervision. The time and place of initial involvement varies by jurisdictions and often depends on the type of offense(s) the young person is charged with (e.g., possession of alcohol, vandalism, driving while impaired, assault), and the options in place for responding to underage drinking. Once the juvenile or young adult offender/defendant enters the system, however, many of the processes used in response to underage drinking will be similar regardless of the system configuration or the status of the individual. Although the types of charges youth and adults can be cited for and the details of case processing vary somewhat from one jurisdiction to another and between the juvenile and adult justice systems, overall the systems are quite similar. Exhibit IV-a shows the most common decision points in both juvenile and adult cases of underage drinking and some of the options that justice system professionals involved in these cases may need to consider. 27
