Author: Leiber, Michael J. Title: Race and Detention Decision Making and the Impact on Juvenile Court Outcomes in Black Hawk County, Iowa Summary: In the early summer of 2005, Michael Leiber met with juvenile court personnel from Black Hawk County to discuss the possibility of conducting a detailed study of detention in their jurisdiction. The initiative for the study came from the Court itself due to concerns about the number of detained youth, particularly minorities. A detailed inquiry into the use of detention, the types of detention used, for what and whom, had not been previously conducted. After gaining judicial permission, Leiber agreed to examine detention decision-making in Black Hawk County and its impact on juvenile justice decision-making. Data were manually collected from case files in Black Hawk County covering referrals to juvenile court and the North Iowa Detention facility from 2003 through 2004. Aggregate information was also used that represented the number of detention referrals for the years 1990 through 2004. This report presents the findings of this investigation.

Author: Balck, Annie Title: Advances in Juvenile Justice Reform: 2009 - 2011 Summary: The National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) is pleased to present this compilation from across the country of advances in juvenile justice reform made between 2009 and 2011. In it, we have gathered together significant laws, administrative rule and practice changes, positive court decisions, and promising commissions and studies. The breadth and scope of its contents are a testament to the great number of positive changes that have occurred over the course of the past few years. While it may sometimes feel that progress toward reform is slow to non-existent, this compendium shows that, in fact, thanks to the tireless work of advocates, stakeholders, and policymakers, reform victories are won on a regular basis, every year, in nearly every state. That being said, we would be remiss if we did not also note that the news is not all good. There are many states and localities where juvenile justice reform is badly needed—where youths’ due process rights are routinely violated; where schools funnel youth into juvenile court; where youth of color are unfairly and disproportionately punished; where youth in confinement are abused and beaten. Reformers have a lot to celebrate, but there is also much to be done. The document provides a broad view of the primary issues of concern in the reform field, as well as a snapshot of those areas that are gaining the most traction; we hope the publication will serve as an educational tool for individuals less familiar with specific reform efforts, and inspire those already dedicated to change. Lastly, this publication is meant to serve as a concrete representation of how far the movement for juvenile justice reform has come, and act as incontrovertible evidence that progress is indeed being made.
