Teen Dating Violence
Adolescents and adults are often unaware that teens experience dating violence. As teens develop emotionally, they are heavily influenced by their relationship experiences. Healthy relationship behaviors can have a positive effect on a teen’s emotional develop-ment while unhealthy, abusive or violent relationships can cause short term and long term negative effects, or consequences to the developing teen. Victims of teen dating violence are more likely to do poorly in school, and report binge drinking, suicide attempts, and physical fighting. Victims may also carry the patterns of violence into future relationships. At this training, participants will learn: The dynamics of teen dating violence Risk and protective factors for teen dating violence Making healthy relationship choices Teen dating violence as a bullying behavior Model teen dating prevention projects and curriculum Resources for teens including td411 Presenter: Linda Blozie, CCADV Fee: $25.00 Free for: CCADV Member Agency staff/volunteers Police Departments Legal Services Organizations

Police Response to Juvenile Offenders in Family Violence Cases
In 2011, the definition of a "family violence" crime was amended to specifically exclude "delinquent acts," which are basically crimes committed by persons under the age of eight-een. Since it is a family violence crime that triggers the man-dates, the mandates do not apply when the offender is under the age of eighteen. This poses a challenge to law enforcement when investigating these situations. At this training, participants will learn: Which mandates do not apply to offenders under the age of
eighteen Confidentiality laws involving juvenile offenders Options for law enforcement when responding to a juvenile
domestic violence case Statutory requirements when interviewing an offender un-
der the age of eighteen The challenges of handling these cases in juvenile court Presenter: Francis Carino, Supervisory Asst. State's Attorney Office of the Chief State's Attorney
This training is only open to law enforcement professionals.
