Understanding The Overrepresentation Of Youths With Disabilities In Juvenile Detention, Peter E. Leone Phd., Barbara A. Zaremba, Michelle S. Chapin, Curt Iseli
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Youths with disabling conditions are grossly overrepresented among those detained and confined in juvenile correction systems. Some of the behavior of youths with disabling conditions can be misinterpreted as dangerousness and/or as posing a risk of flight prior to a dispositional hearing. The cognitive and language abilities of some youths may contribute to their poor presentation to juvenile court intake workers and others within the juvenile justice system. This Article briefly profiles four youths with disabling conditions detained at the District of Columbia's Oak Hill Juvenile Detention Center, and discusses how behavior associated with disabling conditions (i.e., learning disabilities, emotional …

The Role Of The Probation Officer In Intake: Stories From Before, During, And After The Delinquency Initial Hearing, Joseph B. Tulman
The Role Of The Probation Officer In Intake: Stories From Before, During, And After The Delinquency Initial Hearing, Joseph B. Tulman
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The juvenile probation intake officer stands at the threshold of the delinquency system, ideally positioned to attach to a child the label "bad," "sad," "mad," or "can't add"-or no label at all.' By attaching the delinquency system label of "bad," the probation intake officer determines who makes it into the delinquency system and, in a real sense, who "doesn't make it." The central hypothesis of this Article is that a carefully crafted role exists in the law for the juvenile probation office and that intake probation officers do not properly understand and execute their role before, during, and after initial …

Juvenile Detention To "Protect" Children From Neglect, Margaret Beyer Phd.
Juvenile Detention To "Protect" Children From Neglect, Margaret Beyer Phd.
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The primary purpose of juvenile detention is to protect the community from dangerous young people while they wait for their cases to be heard in court.' From a developmental perspective, juvenile detention should occur less frequently than adult detention because juveniles need to be with family members and are perhaps more vulnerable to emotional harm from incarceration than adults. Recognized risks of detention include exposing naive, previously victimized youth to larger, older juveniles with delinquency histories. Other risks include interference with the juvenile's relationship with family and attendance in school.

Clear And Convincing Evidence: The Standard Required To Support Pretrial Detention Of Juveniles Pursuant To D.C. Code Section 16-2310, Julia Colton-Bell, Robert J. Levant
Clear And Convincing Evidence: The Standard Required To Support Pretrial Detention Of Juveniles Pursuant To D.C. Code Section 16-2310, Julia Colton-Bell, Robert J. Levant
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
This Note examines the appropriate evidentiary standard for pretrial detention decisions in Juvenile Court in the District of Columbia. Currently, there is no authority mandating the standard of proof that is to be applied to the pretrial detention of juveniles. To ensure that all juveniles receive the same protections, one evidentiary standard must be applied at all pretrial detention hearings. Based upon adult and juvenile pretrial detention statutes, the case law construing those statutes, and the standard courts employ in adult civil commitment procedures, the appropriate standard is the "clear and convincing evidence" standard of proof. In order to afford …
The Right Of Children In The Juvenile Justice System To Inclusion In The Federally Mandated Child Welfare Services System, Jeanne Asherman-Jusino
The Right Of Children In The Juvenile Justice System To Inclusion In The Federally Mandated Child Welfare Services System, Jeanne Asherman-Jusino
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The District of Columbia has one of the highest juvenile detention rates and the longest juvenile detention stays of any jurisdiction in the country.' Almost half of the children in Oak Hill, the District's secure juvenile detention facility, have no record of violent or serious offenses. 2 The District's large scale use of detention has increased, rather than decreased, crime. By placing young children charged with minor offenses, such as shoplifting, in daily contact with habitual violent juvenile offenders, Oak Hill serves as a training school for criminal behavior.3
