2 results foundAuthor: Beuhring, Trisha Title: Ramsey County All Children Excel (ACE) Promoting Resiliency in Children At Risk for Serious and Violent Delinquency. Preliminary Outcome Evaluation Study Summary: The latest research on juvenile delinquency has major implications for policy makers. Up to 70% of all serious and violent juvenile crimes are committed by a small group of chronic offenders—only 8% of the adolescents in a typical community. Each chronic, serious and violent juvenile delinquent (SVJ) costs the community $1.7 to $3.4 million dollars over the course of his or her lifetime. The best predictor of who will become a chronic SVJ is early onset delinquency. On average, chronic SVJ start their criminal careers at age seven. Early onset offenders are committing increasingly serious crimes, raising concerns about rising rates of out-of-home placement and serious crime in the future. Only a handful of programs exist worldwide for early onset offenders. All Children Excel (ACE) is one of those programs. ACE offers a comprehensive, long term intervention that incorporates research-based strategies, supports the integration of services across government units, and promotes collaboration among police, schools, and community nonprofit organizations toward a common goal—preventing delinquency, substance abuse, and school dropout by promoting healthy development. This report focuses on evidence of the program’s effectiveness in identifying children who are on the path to becoming chronic SVJ, and early findings regarding its success at deflecting them from this path.

Author: Swayze, Dana Title: Minnesota Juvenile Diversion: A Summary of Statewide Practices and Programming Summary: Juvenile diversion, or the intentional decision to address unlawful behavior outside of the formal juvenile justice system, has long been in practice in the state of Minnesota. In 1995, a requirement for at least one juvenile diversion program became a uniform requirement in every county under Minnesota Statute § 388.24. This legislation further solidified diversion in Minnesota as both a cost-saving measure and a pro-social, community-based response to youth offending. Furthermore, the statute ensures that diversion is available across jurisdictions regardless of youths’ county of residence. While Minnesota statute specifies the purpose of diversion and establishes minimum eligibility criteria, most aspects of juvenile diversion programming and service delivery are left to individual counties to determine. With 87 counties, which youth receive diversion, what agency oversees programming, the conditions necessary to complete diversion, and the services offered in conjunction with diversion can vary widely. This variability can potentially result in inconsistent application of diversion or inequitable access to services among those diverted. This report provides an overview of juvenile diversion programs and services across the state of Minnesota using information collected directly from diversion service providers. The recommendations included in this report are derived from literature related to best practices in pretrial diversion as well as gaps and inconsistencies in diversion service delivery and policy identified in the interviews. It is the intention that the findings of this report will be useful to support the work of juvenile-diversion providers; to advocate for continued and enhanced diversion opportunities; to promote greater consistency in the use of diversion; and to highlight the importance of data collection and evaluation to effective service delivery.
