Title: Crossover Youth and Juvenile Justice Processing in Los Angeles County Summary: The term “crossover” refers to youth who are simultaneously involved with both child welfare and juvenile justice, presenting a variety of complex legal, jurisdictional, and service delivery challenges. Although crossover can go in either direction, meaning delinquent youth can become dependent youth and vice versa, this study focused on youth who had first entered the dependency system and then committed an offense that brought them to the delinquency system. This research brief describes the characteristics of crossover youth in Los Angeles over a period of three years, compares them to other youth in the delinquency system, and details the particular risks to which these youths are subject. Local courts, county child welfare agencies, state governments, and youth-serving organizations across the United States are currently struggling with how best to serve the relatively large number of youth simultaneously involved with both child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

Author: Saeteurn, Michelle L. Title: Exploring Characteristics and Outcomes of 241.1 Youth in Alameda County Summary: This study explored the characteristics and outcomes of crossover youth (youth who come from the child welfare system and cross over into the juvenile justice system also known as Welfare and Institution Code 241.1 youth) in Alameda County. The study results were compared to a Los Angeles County study of 241.1 youth with the assumption that crossover youth will have similar characteristics no matter what region they come from. Maltreatment, disparity of African-American males, instability in placement, mental health issues, co-occurring disorders, poor academic achievement, and a lack of permanency were prominent in the findings. Child welfare and juvenile justice system should collaborate in providing preventative and intervention services to decrease the risks of foster youth becoming a delinquent. Michelle Saeteurn and Janay Swain are co-authors in this research study. The two authors of this study have contributed equally to the research.
