Day One, Continued: June 24, 2009

1:00Keynote Address

Effectively Reducing Arrests and Re-Offenses in Juveniles: The Miami-Dade ApproachSince 1998, the Miami-Dade County Juvenile Services Department has reduced arrests by 34%, reduced repeat offenders by 71%, saved police departments 21.9 million dollars, and saved the Juvenile Justice System over 46 million dollars through its innovative programming, including the Civil Citation Initiative. This initiative reforms the protocol on how police and the community address juvenile fi rst-time misdemeanor offenders by referring juveniles to Miami-Dade County’s Juvenile Services Department for assessment and treatment services as opposed to an immediate arrest. In this keynote address, hear about this dynamic model for the juvenile justice arena and how to replicate this system to reduce arrests and repeat offenders.

Prepare for Parole, Probation and After-Care CoordinationTo make parole and probation services effective, a plan for success must begin before the release of an incarcerated juvenile into society. Determine the point when planning should begin, who should be involved, and what should be assessed. Ensure juveniles have the highest chance of success in the community by getting a head start on an effective reintegration plan.

Help Overcome Substance Abuse and Violent BehaviorMany juvenile offenders abuse substances or behave violently, con-tributing to their crimes. However, many juvenile courts do not identify teens’ substance abuse or provide treatment during the court process, causing youth to reenter the community and repeat the cycle of sub-stance abuse and crime. In this session, learn specifi c steps juvenile courts can take to provide drug and alcohol assessment, evidence-based treatment, community-based services to help the family, and follow-up to ensure teens stays on track.
