21 6 County of Santa Clara Juvenile Justice Systems Collaborative DATE: November 17, 2016 TO: FROM: Juvenile Justice Systems Collaborative Katherine Lucero, Co-Chairperson, Case Systems and Processes SUBJECT: Case, Systems & Processes Workgroup Quarterly Report RECOMMENDED ACTION Receive report from the Case, Systems and Processes Workgroup relating to the Deferred Entry of Judgment, Direct File/Fitness Hearings, Risk Assessment Instrument, 95122/Overfelt High School and Community Engagement Subcommittees. BACKGROUND The subcommittees of the Case Systems and Processes Workgroup meet monthly as they relate to case processing, racial and ethnic disparities within the juvenile justice system and implement innovative solutions to improve outcomes and address disparities for youth and families. Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ) The DEJ Subcommittee continues to monitor the progress of African American and Latino Youth on DEJ. Priorities identified for this subcommittee are to monitor the effectiveness of the CAFA (Court Appointed Friend Advocate) program, mentoring for African American youth. While Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY) is still in the process of collecting outcome data for CAFA youth, a positive trend has emerged for justice involved African American youth. Within the past year, eight of the 25 youth have completed probation and no failures of DEJ. This is a vast improvement over the previous year s 67% failure rate in CY2014 and 40% in CY2015. FLY and Probation continue to analyze data in an effort to provide more information around substance use, school attendance, developmental assets, and self-esteem. In October 2016, the CAFA program was expanded to serve Latino youth on DEJ. Concentration will be placed on reducing the number of technical violations by Latino youth as it was for African American youth. During the summer months, the subcommittee identified the need to collect data to better inform the development of a Latino focused intervention. As a part of this data collection process, the Burns Institute administered a survey to Probation staff designed to gain insight from Probation staff about what services, resources, or interventions would be helpful for youth on DEJ as well as to get feedback from Probation staff on Latino specific interventions or programs that would improve outcomes. Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, S. Joseph Simitian Packet Page Pg. 1 of 213 County Executive: Jeffrey V. Smith

22 The attached presentation is a summary of findings from the survey. The subcommittee is also exploring the possibility of conducting focus groups with Latino youth who both failed and successfully completed DEJ between January 1, 2015 and September 1, Direct File/Fitness Hearings The Direct File Subcommittee spent the year compiling a list of all direct file cases in the county in 2015 identifying 33 cases. The cases were reviewed and for racial and ethnic disparities and found that most direct files were those of Latino youth. Offenses consisted of violent crimes such as Murder, Attempted Murder and Robbery. Focus was given to Fitness cases in 2015 given the pending initiative that could eliminate direct filings for certain age groups and offenses. The District Attorney s office prepared a list of 24 cases that were filed in adult court through the fitness hearing process in juvenile court. Of fourteen cases resolved in juvenile court, six youth were found unfit and transferred to adult court and four youth were found fit to remain in juvenile court. During this process it was discovered that there was not a clear understanding of how to process and physically transport youth to the main jail when a youth was found to be unfit for juvenile court. The committee convened a sub-committee with all justice system partners and drafted a Fitness Process Protocol to outline the role and responsibility of each agency involved in this process. The protocol allows youth under the age of 18 who are found unfit to be booked into the main jail as an adult in the Juvenile Hall police admissions area. This process is less traumatic for the youth and much safer for Sheriff s Deputies who do not have to transport the youth for processing, should the youth remain in Juvenile Hall. The subcommittee also developed a Writ process for youth who are found unfit for juvenile court. The youth must file a request to the court of appeal to review the trial court decision within 20 days of arraignment in adult court. For additional information and a copy of the protocol please see the Fitness Process Protocol report. Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) Youth detained in Juvenile Hall due to Warrants The RAI Warrants subcommittee has been focused on developing interventions or revisions of processes that address the number of youth who are detained until their detention hearing as a result of a warrant for violation of probation or failure to appear. The Burns Institute presented the results of an analysis of 183 youth detained in Juvenile Hall in 2015 as a result of a policy override. The findings demonstrated that 71% (130) of youth did not have a new charge. Of these youth, 92% were youth of color. The reasons for detention were warrant issued for absconding (48); Failure to Appear warrant (47); the inability to locate the youth or non-compliance (18); and a combination of factors (17). As a result of these findings, the subcommittee is exploring the possibility of a two-tier warrant process pilot in CY2017. A small group spoke with two counties that use a two-tiered warrant system. A policy was drafted with additional discussions occurring related to who would be eligible for a two-tier warrant and the process for requesting such a warrant. The group continues to engage in discussions related to the eligibility criteria and warrant request process /Overfelt 6 Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, S.

23 This subcommittee is currently on hiatus pending reports from the Burns Institute and Prevention and Programs Workgroup and the findings of the Impact Justice research grant. There is considerable community interest expanding to another school and ensuring that the truancy work with the District Attorney s Office continues. Community Engagement Community Engagement is an ad hoc committee of the JJSC that was formed to identify and recommend best practices that could be implemented by the JJSC workgroups. The committee finalized by-laws/agreements; finalized scope and purpose of committee; and updated their work plan. The committee reviewed Guiding Principles for Community Engagement and discussed the approach to conducting an inventory of community engagement efforts. The inventory will prioritize JJSC-related initiatives and opportunities amongst the Public Defender, District Attorney, Probation, County Office of Education, and other key school districts. The Burns institute will lead key informant interviews with JJSC subcommittees and the Community Engagement committee will develop recommendations and the framework for workgroups to engage community from the interviews. The Office of Cultural Competency is completing an inventory of meetings related to equity, which is being leveraged to complete the community engagement inventory. The Committee will sunset after the framework is developed and members will become embedded within the existing workgroups. The recommendations and framework will be presented to the JJSC for adoption in early ATTACHMENTS: DEJ Meeting - Probation Survey Results SCC_Warrant Mtg _FINAL (PPTX) Committee Reports (PDF) Committee Reports (PDF) Committee Reports (PDF) (PDF) 6 Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, S.

Proper education and supervision that is geared for their individual needs. Taking an individual approach and not a cookie cutter approach. Fewer DEJ reviews/hearings, as it feels they are under the microscope much more than Wards, who rarely have Parte Reviews. Monthly or quarterly reviews can become excessive. Remorse, empathy, maturity, motivation, strong family support. Attachment: DEJ Meeting - Probation Survey Results (83997 : Case, Systems & Packet Pg. 29

30 7 If resources were not an issue, what particular interventions would you put in place to improve outcomes for Latino DEJ youth? Better PO understanding of the Latino culture to address the true needs of the Latino culture. The lack of certified interpreters for the Spanish parents instead of taking the approach of they (the parents) understand enough, even though they only marginally understand, instead of following the County's Language Access Plan to provide assistance. Make it a requirement to have these youth join a pro-social activity in an effort to help them build positive peer relationships. More culturally diverse counseling services or something similar to FLY but more geared towards Latino youth. It's been my experience that minors really enjoy the FLY program. 6.a Programs with cultural and ethnic values (i.e. Joven Nobles Sacred Circles) Attachment: DEJ Meeting - Probation Survey Results (83997 : Case, Systems & Packet Pg. 30

31 8 If you supervised a DEJ youth who was eventually terminated from the program, what services do you believe could have benefited the youth? Sometimes failure is not the result of a lack of services. That being said, since the goal is to provide youth an opportunity to work to dismiss their Petition, services need to be specific to the youth and not merely an overload or certain amount of "services. A "less is more" approach is usually appropriate and effective in many DEJ cases. Full WRAP services would be helpful even for DEJ youth. It would be nice to know how many prior DEJ youth eventually ended up failing DEJ and requiring WRAP services. Pro-social activities (sports, education, employment, etc) and family/community involvement should always be encouraged. Mentorship 6.a Attachment: DEJ Meeting - Probation Survey Results (83997 : Case, Systems & Packet Pg. 31

32 9 Key Takeaways Latino Youth on DEJ would benefit from: Mentorship Prosocial activities Culturally relevant programs and services More resources to address language and transportation barriers Individualized interventions Assistance seeking employment 6.a Attachment: DEJ Meeting - Probation Survey Results (83997 : Case, Systems & Packet Pg. 32

If contacted, the youth and family are told to contact the youth s attorney to clear warrant PO will provide the youth with the attorney s name and number PO will encourage the youth to self-surrender to law enforcement The youth will be counseled regarding being in the community with a warrant and the negative impact Attachment: SCC_Warrant Mtg _FINAL (83997 : Case, Systems & Processes Workgroup Packet Pg. 39

40 6.b Purpose and Eligibility Criteria Purpose The proposed Two-Tiered Warrant Policy aims to reduce the unnecessary detention of youth due to mandatory holds of youth arrested on warrants. It will allow some youth to be released from custody pending their detention hearing. The policy should provide clear direction to Juvenile Probation Staff and other system partners when determining release decisions for youth who self-surrender and/or those referred to Detention after contact with a Police Officer. Eligibility criteria Youth who fail to appear in court (FTA) Warrants requested by Probation Officers due to: Youth absconding from Probation (i.e., parent reports the youth has left home); or Inability to locate youth Attachment: SCC_Warrant Mtg _FINAL (83997 : Case, Systems & Processes Workgroup Packet Pg. 40

58 8 County of Santa Clara Probation Department DATE: November 17, 2016 TO: FROM: Juvenile Justice Systems Collaborative Laura Garnette, Chief Probation Officer SUBJECT: Youth Advisory Council (YAC), Probation Department, Juvenile Services RECOMMENDED ACTION Receive presentation from the Probation Department relating to a Youth Advisory Council. BACKGROUND In July 2015, the Probation Department was awarded a grant from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) in which one component was to develop a Youth Advisory Board within the Santa Clara County Probation Department. The purpose of this Board is to infuse the youth voice in system processes and practices, provide the youth perspective in policy and program development and provide youth with leadership development and other youth identified activities that aid in system transformation and bring the youth voices forward. The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a collaborative effort, between the Santa Clara County Probation Department and the Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY) program to produce positive system change through the inclusion of youth voice. The YAC provides young people between the ages of 17 to 24 who formerly participated in juvenile justice services, with a unique opportunity to offer a client-based perspective on current system processes and practices. Additionally, it allows these youth the opportunity to share their stories and experiences to inspire hope and encourage change in the lives of youth who are currently involved in the Juvenile Justice System. The YAC was formed on the belief these young people are the experts regarding the challenges encountered by juvenile justice involved youth. Their input is vital and necessary to assist other youth entering the juvenile justice system to successfully complete probation services. An additional objective of the YAC is to enhance the professional development and leadership skills of all of its members. Through leadership development, YAC members can be ready to participate in various commissions, policy teams or task forces as youth representatives rather than having community agencies or other system representatives providing a voice for them. The initial development phase of the YAC involved seven focus groups with both current and former juvenile justice involved youth. Groups consisted of both male and female Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, S. Joseph Simitian Packet Page Pg. 1 of 582 County Executive: Jeffrey V. Smith

59 participants whose ages ranged from 15 to 31 years and a total of 38 participants. The purpose was to identify the challenges/barriers youth face that impede successful completion of Probation; identify the needs of youth for them to be successful; define what success is from a youth s perspective; identify the areas or activities the YAC should focus on; and to determine what type of incentives can be offered that would encourage youth participation in the YAC. 8 Subsequently, focus group data was collected and yielded some emerging themes that included: youth having a lack of rapport with their Probation Officer as a significant barrier to successfully completing Probation; the need for young people to be connected with positive role models/mentors, as many system-involved youth lack this in their homes/families; and the feeling that the inclusion of the youth voice would have a profound impact on producing positive system change. Upon completion of these initial focus groups, a core group of eleven young people, three who are direct file youth in Juvenile Hall, wanted to remain involved with the development of YAC. Thus a core group of young people has continued to participate in weekly groups, focusing on the design, structure and implementation of the YAC. To date, these young people have developed the Mission Statement, Core Values and a Code of Honor specifically for their YAC. It is anticipated the structure of the YAC will be completely developed by winter or early spring of At that time, ten to twelve young people will be recruited to serve as the first cohort of councilmembers. Additionally, a training plan will be developed for each YAC member focusing on leadership development, public speaking, listening skills, policy review, local politics, group facilitation and other trainings as deemed appropriate. Lastly, the YAC will work collaboratively with the Probation Department (and other Juvenile Justice System partners) to establish and create opportunities for its members to work towards fulfilling the councils overall mission.
