CJJ Leadership News

Message from Robin Jenkins, CJJ 2007-2008 National Chair

Greetings to each of you. I hope that this month’s e-Monitor finds you full of optimism toward your future and experiencing good health and warm friendships in your lives. Since returning from the CJJ Council of SAGs’ Meeting, held October 19-21, in Denver, I have been impatiently waiting for this opportunity to circulate my personal appreciation for the support and guidance we continue to receive from our membership, as noted in the strong turnout and discussions in Denver. What a sacrifice that was for the CJJ Council members, specialists, members-at-large and other guests to attend our Council meeting over a weekend, in addition to many staying on to attend the OJJDP FACJJ and Joint Training Conference. A special thank you again goes out to Dianne Van Voorhees, Meg Williams, Katie Wells, Bob Pence, and all of the other Colorado SAG members and staff who worked so hard to accommodate so many aspects of all of these meetings. And whoever ordered up that weather. What a treat it was to experience all of that! Summer time temperatures on Friday, snowstorm Sunday morning and spring time by Tuesday! Never a dull moment in that region, no doubt. The food and fellowship were even more pleasurable.

CJJ’s leadership honors and takes your input and advice very seriously. What you’ve asked us to do as a result of the Denver meeting is already in progress. I have been communicating with the newly elected Executive Board and CJJ staff to plan our transition into 2008, while we continue to focus on the work products and strategies set forth for 2007. I hope that attendees at the Denver meeting were as impressed as I remain at the level and quality of work produced by CJJ on your behalf, as well as the effectiveness of the organization in building its fiscal health. The government relations, publications, conference coordination, state-to-state relations and peer assistance, finance management/fund raising, and cultural and ethnic advancement efforts are strong. And as we pull together a leadership retreat for January, we will focus on building a strong Executive Board with the skills and commitment to diligently oversee a national nonprofit agency with amazing potential. It is, in my 10 years of involvement with CJJ, the most exciting and future-focused time for me personally.

I can’t leave you without a personal story – it’s the North Carolina thing in me (maybe). We have a young man in our Tuesday night youth leadership group whom, I wish, could light you all on fire as he has done me. He comes from a family environment no one could imagine nor wish for. The old “cards stacked against him” phrase doesn’t even apply – there are no cards for him to deal with. But by the miracle of fate, providence, or whatever, he came through the court system and became involved in an effective system of care that includes therapeutic foster care, outpatient mental health services (including family therapy), substance abuse treatment/monitoring, volunteer services, and youth leadership bolstered by juvenile court supervision. This youth is amazingly articulate and a natural leader – and he is turning his life around. Basketball, academics, personal care, attitude, community service – all now consume his energies in place of the negative (and depressed) behavior and affect he previously exhibited. His system of care is driven by our experience and what we learn through our training and advocacy networks – our exposure to evidence-based practices, what works in other areas, how to blend dollars and services, how to bridge child welfare/mental health/juvenile justice, etc. – all make a difference in how we apply services for this young man and others we serve. The results are startling yet reaffirming.

But not to credit us; he’s doing the work. We’re providing the infrastructure and support. The point is that our involvement in a national professional and advocacy group such as CJJ not only helps build better, more accountable and effective systems – but IT HELPS KIDS! So please remember that each time I interact with you, you teach me something. I, in turn, try to engage my partners and staff in trying to be “all we can be” on the limited dollars that are often available in our world. You motivate and guide me. And it must be true for so many others as evidenced by the re-commitment to CJJ membership each year. Thank you for being “in it” with me – together we are accomplishing real and positive things for children, youth and families throughout the country. Have a wonderful time of thanksgiving in whatever manner you choose to celebrate.

--Robin

Message from Nancy Gannon Hornberger, CJJ Executive Director

The inaugural CJJ Council of SAGs’ Meeting and Elections held in Denver, October 19-21, were truly inspiring and uplifting. More than 60 attendees, representing 38 states and territories, devoted their weekend time to help shape and inform CJJ’s core business—reflecting on progress, charting future directions, offering insight and input into our work for 2008, and electing many of the new officers who will form the 2008 CJJ Executive Board.

Nonprofit change experts are known to say that change is difficult—well, we have all heard and experienced that, yes? Yet, what we found in CJJ’s Denver meeting was an enthusiastic endorsement of a different idea, from Gandhi: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Examples of individual and collective leadership were in abundance over the weekend. And, the change to establish the CJJ Council of SAGs and the CJJ Executive Board, which includes newly-cast positions, was ably guided by the expertise and hard work of Sue Kamp and the Bylaws Committee; Robin Jenkins, Sue Kamp and the Transition Team; and Paul Lawrence and the Nominating Committee.

CJJ wishes to thank and congratulate the CJJ Executive Board Members for 2008:
The process of nominations and elections will remain open into early December for the purposes of adding at least three more positions:
On the final day of the Council of SAGs’ Meeting, we spontaneously added a conversation to the agenda that was led by David Schmidt, regarding compliance concerns that have arisen in relation to the “adult inmate” ruling from former OJJDP Deputy Administrator, William Woodruff, and the desire of some states to continue to allow youth adjudicated in the criminal court to remain under juvenile jurisdiction due to their behavioral health needs, other special needs and/or the juvenile system’s overall focus on rehabilitation. This also sparked discussion and overall interest in ensuring that compliance systems and efforts in the states are effective, and as fully supported as possible, to protect the JJDPA core requirements. Please look for more information in the upcoming weeks and months regarding CJJ’s leadership efforts related to compliance.

As always, feel free to be in touch at any time: [1] nancy@juvjustice.org and 202-467-0864, ext. 111.

CJJ Government Relations Alert

From a Ripple a Roar: CJJ’s Voice in Our Nation’s Capitol

At the Council of SAGs’ Meeting and Elections held last month in Denver, CJJ took the opportunity to update members on the great work CJJ is doing as your Washington representative, and to solicit the advice and counsel of members on how to make CJJ a stronger, more effective voice for children at the Congressional level. We want to thank all those who contribute to the development and execution of CJJ’s policy agenda, with special thanks to our 19-member Government Relations Committee (GRC) and our 49 GRC liaisons representing 37 states and territories (woo-hoo!).

Here in Washington are always looking to you for your feedback, ideas and proposals, so please never hesitate to contact us. Also, we are still reaching for our goal of having at least one GRC Liaison from each state and territory, so if you are not currently represented, please contact Tara Andrews, CJJ’s deputy executive director for policy and programs, at [5] andrews@juvjustice.org.

Appropriations Update

The full U.S. Senate finally completed its work on the Commerce, Justice and Science (CJS) appropriations bill late Tuesday, October 23. The CJS bill contains all the juvenile-justice related funding streams.

The Senate and the House are now quietly conferencing to reconcile differences between the Senate version and the House version of the CJS bills. A chart reflecting those differences is pasted at the end of this alert. In the meantime, all federal funding is being appropriated under a Continuing Resolution through November 16, 2007.

Because President Bush is still standing firm on the threat to veto all non-military spending bills, the Democrats are proposing to send the Labor/HHS/Education bill to the President first to see if he vetoes it, and then attempt to override the veto before sending any more bills to him for signature. It is anticipated that the CJS bill would go to the President next.

If the President follows through with his vetoes, then the strategy would be to pile all the appropriations bills—including the military spending bills—into one big omnibus bill. President Bush doesn’t have a line item veto, so he would have to veto the whole bill, including the military spending portions.

Ah, the politics of Washington. Now you know why we need you!

It is not too late to communicate with your Congressional delegation. To assist you in being as effective as possible is a short amount of time, we have drafted an Appropriations template letter ([6] www.juvjustice.org/announcement_109.html) to help you help your representatives understand why it is critical that the CJS bill pass this year. Please feel free to revise the letter to fit the particular needs of your state.

We urge you to fax the letter to your entire Congressional delegation, especially your Republican representatives. If President Bush vetoes the CJS or any other bills, the Democrats will need Republicans to vote with them in order to mount a successful veto override.
KEY STREAMS OF FEDERAL JJ FUNDING AS APPROPRIATED (in millions):
FY02 House
Proposal		 Senate
Proposal		 CJJ Request for FY08
Title II
State
Formula
Funds		 $88.8 $81.175 $73 $96
Title V
Local
Delinq. Prevention		 $94.3 $70
$25 for EUDL
$25 for GREAT
$17.5 for Tribal Youth		 $65
$25 for EUDL
$10 for TY		 $95

JABG		 $249.5 $60 $80 $250

DPBG		 N/A $0 $0 $0


In addition to the above, both chambers propose $40 million for drug courts and more money for mentoring programs (Senate, $5 million; House, $100 million). The House and Senate also propose $53 million and $76.5 million, respectively, to fund local delinquency prevention programs under Secs. 261 and 262 of the JJDPA. This funding, however, is heavily earmarked for certain programs and therefore would not be available to the SAGs and the states.

Reauthorization of the JJDPA: CJJ Members Are On the Move

Since the official launch of the JJDPA Reauthorization campaign this past summer, hundreds of folks across the nation have taken the time to take some action that supports Reauthorization—and CJJ members are no exception! The Arizona, Kansas, Maine, New Mexico, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont SAGs have all signed the JJDPA Statement of Principles. The Illinois, Utah and Vermont SAGs submitted letters to their Senators on Judiciary to express their support of the JJDPA and urge their leadership on Reauthorization. The Wisconsin SAG reached out to its grant recipients to educate them about Reauthorization and encourage them to communicate their support to their Senators. The Nevada SAG joined with CJJ to submit comments to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid—to draw his attention to the need for a timely Reauthorization to benefit both his state and the nation.

In short, the relationships CJJ members are developing with Congressional members are varied, and are producing real dividends here in Washington!

As the campaign wages on, there are several things you can do to turn up the heat and help move Reauthorization forward:
  1. Join the ACT4JJ Listserv. Join hundreds of advocates across the nation who are staying informed and up-to-date on all reauthorization efforts. Just go to [7] www.act4jj.org and enter your e-mail address at the top of the page.

  2. Sign the JJDPA Statement of Principles. To date, more than 200 national, state and local organizations have signed on. To sign, send your organization’s name and the name of a contact person to [8] andrews@juvjustice.org. To view the JJDPA Statement of Principles, go to [9] www.act4jj.org/media/factsheets/factsheet_11.pdf.

  3. Send a Letter to Your Representatives in Support of Reauthorization. In addition to or in lieu of signing the JJDPA Statement of Principles, send a letter to the Representatives on your organizational letterhead asking them to support the scheduling of JJDPA reauthorization this year. Several organizations have already done so, with promising results. To obtain a suggested template for your organization’s letter, contact Tara at [10] andrews@juvjustice.org.

  4. Educate Your JJDPA Grantees about Reauthorization. To the extent your SAG provides grants to local organizations to prevent and address youth crime and delinquency, it is imperative that they, too, know that the legislation which makes their efforts possible is due to expire this year.
CJJ Partners with Rep. Scott to Introduce Positive Alternative to Punitive Gang Legislation

In response to a number of punitive gang bills that emphasize suppression and incarceration over prevention and intervention, on October 16, 2007, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) introduced legislation that champions evidenced-based practices and provides an alternative approach for lawmakers looking for truly effective responses to youth crime and delinquency.

The Youth Prison Reduction through Opportunities, Mentoring, Intervention, Support, and Education Act (Youth PROMISE Act) builds upon evidence-based methods proven to reduce youth violence and delinquency at the community level. Under the Youth PROMISE Act, communities facing the greatest youth gang and crime challenges will come together – via a local council that includes law enforcement, community-based organizations, schools, faith organizations, health, social service, and mental health providers – to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies targeted at young people and their families to make our communities safer, reduce victimization, and help at-risk young people to lead law-abiding and healthy lives, free from gang and/or other criminal involvement. To learn more about the bill, go to [11] www.house.gov/scott/hotissues_youthpromiseact.shtml.

CJJ is proud to have informed the drafting of Youth PROMISE Act in partnership with several youth-minded organizations. As of November 7, more than fifty House members are co-sponsoring the legislation, and more than 140 organizations across the nation have signed onto a letter in support of the PROMISE approach to reducing youth involvement in gang-related criminal activity.

If your Representative is not a current co-sponsor of the legislation, please encourage them to become one. (Visit [12] www.juvjustice.org/announcement_116.html to view a Section-by-Section Summary of the bill, including a list of current co-sponsors). If your SAG or organization has not signed the PROMISE letter of support, we urge you to do so. Simply contact Tara at 202-467-0864, ext. 109, or [13] andrews@juvjustice.org for more information.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the CJJ Government Relations Committee or Government Relations Program, please contact committee chair Linda Hayes ([14] lhayes@harnettlaw.com), or CJJ deputy executive director Tara Andrews ([15] andrews@juvjustice.org and 202-467-0864, ext. 109).

CJJ Training News

Training Update

The Fall CJJ Council of SAGs’ Meeting provided an excellent opportunity for feedback on training needs in the field and how CJJ can best provide leadership and guidance in addressing those needs. Detailed notes from the small group discussion process will be sent out via e-mail to meeting participants in the next few weeks.

Several attendees also agreed to serve on CJJ’s ad hoc Training and Technical Assistance Committee for 2008. If you are interested in being a part of this committee, please contact Mark Ferrante, CJJ director of leadership and training programs, at [16] ferrante@juvjustice.org and 202-467-0864, ext. 102.

On December 11, 2007, CJJ will provide a unique training opportunity for six (6) states as part of the 2nd Annual Models for Change Conference to be hosted by CJJ for the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in Washington, D.C. These states will meet with a team of experts to discuss strategies and solutions for “Alternatives to Law Enforcement Processing for DMC Reduction.” This intensive session will allow states to learn more about national and state models and to craft an implementation plan for change. Attendees also will have the opportunity to network with existing Models for Change state leaders throughout the day.

Additionally, work will soon begin on the April 2008 Annual National Conference and Hill Day in Washington, D.C. Thus far, an eight-member team representing all CJJ regions has been assembled. Additionally, several persons expressed interest in serving on the conference planning committee during CJJ's Summit on Reauthorization in June and will be incorporated into the committee. All are welcome to participate in planning this exciting event! If interested, please contact Mark Ferrante at [17] ferrante@juvjustice.org or 202-467-0864, ext. 102.

Finally, in order to better serve the needs of SAG Chairpersons and members, CJJ will be sending out specific requests to obtain 2008 SAG meeting schedules from all states and territories. This would include SAG meetings, subcommittee meetings (if calendared) and special events/conferences. If your SAG should need anything from CJJ prior to a meeting, this should help facilitate the process.

National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) News

NJJN Seeks Input on Noteworthy Advances in the Field

The National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) has gathered examples of advances in the juvenile justice field in 2006-2007 and drafted an initial compendium. To ensure that advances that have resulted from the work of SAGs and other state/local entities are also included, NJJN and CJJ are seeking input from CJJ members and associates.

Here’s what NJJN is looking for:
Please send a brief description of any noteworthy advances in the field of juvenile justice from your state or jurisdiction by the close of business on Wed., November 14, 2007. Please send your examples, as well as any questions you may have to Jenni Gainsborough or Sarah Bryer at [18] info@njjn.org.

Juvenile Justice Coalition of Minnesota Creates “Blueprint of the Juvenile Justice System”

NJJN’s Minnesota member, the Juvenile Justice Coalition of Minnesota, has put together a comprehensive "Blueprint of the Juvenile Justice System" in Hennepin County (MN). The Blueprint not only maps the processes within juvenile justice agencies, but also includes processes in the educational and mental health systems. The maps, or flow charts, identify points of intervention where something should have or could have been done to improve outcomes for the young person. The Coalition is using these maps as a planning tool for their commission, so that all participating community members and system players can collaboratively identify the problems and craft joint solutions. The maps can be found at [19] www.jjcmn.com/strategies.html.

Juvenile Justice Initiative of Illinois Helps Pass Sex Offender Legislation

NJJN’s Illinois member, the Juvenile Justice Initiative of Illinois, rounded off a year of legislative successes with the override of the Governor’s veto of a bill allowing youth to petition for removal from the state’s Sex Offender Registry. Originally passed in May, the bill changes the provision in the Sex Offender Registration Act that had required juveniles adjudicated for a sex offense to be placed on the adult registry when they reach 17 years of age (the age of criminal jurisdiction in the state). Under the new provisions, youth may petition the court for removal from the registry after five years for a crime that would have been a felony had the minor been an adult, or after two years for a misdemeanor. The amendment also applies retroactively to youth who were required to register before the effective date of the legislation. The governor initially vetoed the bill but the veto was overridden in the House and the Senate in October.

MacArthur Foundation Sponsors Law and Neuroscience Project

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has announced a three-year $10 million grant to fund the Law and Neuroscience Project, a systematic effort to bridge the fields of law and science in considering how courts should deal with new brain-scanning techniques as they apply to matters of law. Three working groups of scholars and legal experts will address the topics of addiction, brain abnormalities and decision making – as they relate to criminal responsibility – and special attention will be devoted to young people, neuroscience and the juvenile justice system.

GAO Report Finds Thousands of Abuse Allegations at Residential Treatment Programs for Troubled Youth

A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released in October found thousands of allegations of child abuse at private residential treatment programs between 1990 and 2007. Prepared at the request of Representative George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, the report noted that “during 2005 alone, 33 states reported 1,619 staff members involved in incidents of abuse in residential programs.” The report notes that the GAO was unable to identify a more concrete number of allegations because it could not locate a single Web site, federal agency, or other entity that collects comprehensive nationwide data.

The report also examined 10 specific cases of teenagers dying while enrolled in private residential treatment programs and found “significant evidence of ineffective management in most.” On October 10, the House Education and Labor Committee heard testimony from the GAO and from parents whose children died in private residential programs.

Read the report at [22] www.gao.gov/new.items/d08146t.pdf. View the committee hearing at [23] http://edwork.edgeboss.net/wmedia/edwork/fc/fc101007.asx.

EJI Publishes Study on LWOP

A new study from the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) documents 73 cases where 13- and 14-year-olds have been tried as adults and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole (LWOP). The report, “Cruel and Unusual: Sentencing 13 and 14-Year-Old Children to Die in Prison,” notes that almost all of the children currently lack legal representation and in most cases the propriety and constitutionality of their sentences has never been reviewed. Declaring that such harsh sentences for such young offenders is cruel and unusual in violation of the 8th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and that LWOP sentences additionally violate international law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, EJI has launched a litigation campaign to have the youths re-sentenced to parole-eligible sentences as soon as possible.

OJJDP Adds DMC Databook to Statistical Briefing Book

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has released the National Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Databook, a web-based tool that addresses the DMC Relative Rate Index (RRI) Matrix, a means of comparing the rates of juvenile justice contact experienced by different groups of youth. The Databook explains the use of RRI, contains national RRIs for 1990 through 2004, and provides a written interpretation of racial disparity trends for a large number of decision points within the juvenile justice system.
