FACJJ Legislation WorkgroupProcess for review
• Focus on Reauthorization of JJDPA• Survey SAG Chairs and JJ Specialists• Looked at a variety of summary documents
related to reauthorization• Developed preliminary recommendations
16
PRIMARY RECOMMENDATION:
The FACJJ supports reauthorization of the JJDPA, including funding sufficient to support the vision and charge to OJJDP and jurisdictions. In addition, the FACJJ conveys specific recommendations related to a number of elements of the reauthorization, including:
17
Recommendation 7: Implementation of the Act related to strengthening the federal-state partnership
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ reaffirms its prior recommendation that OJJDP strengthen its collaboration and communication with jurisdictions related to the interpretation and implementation of regulations derived from the statutes.
18
Recommendation 5: Changing funding related to non-compliance
• FACJJ Position: OPPOSE – The FACJJ supports a collaborative process between OJJDP and the jurisdictions in the development and oversight of regulations, and in the use of funds to support jurisdictions struggling to meet compliance requirements. Ultimately, should a state fail to work with OJJDP or fail to achieve compliance, some form of funding reduction may be appropriate; however, absent additional provisions promoting collaboration between OJJDP and jurisdictions, the FACJJ does not support this provision at this time
19
Recommendation 1: Phasing out the Valid Court Order (VCO) exception that permits the secure confinement of status offenders• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – While extreme situations
may remain an issue in some jurisdictions, the FACJJ supports phasing out the VCO exception and providing support and resources to help jurisdictions develop alternatives that can address their concerns.
20
Recommendation 2: Increased data collection and reporting requirements• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT ONLY with INCREASED
FUNDING – The FACJJ acknowledges the importance of data collection improvements envisioned in the reauthorization but cannot fully support implementation of these added expectations at this time, unless additional funds are provided at both the federal and local level.
21
Recommendation 3: Increasing accountability measures for reducing racial and ethnic disparities.
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ supports continued collaboration with OJJDP and the jurisdictions to develop valid accountability measures that will accurately reflect progress toward achieving equity outcomes and receiving additional funding, training, and other technical assistance to help jurisdictions achieve those outcomes.
22
Recommendation 4: Requiring that youth under 18, including those being charged as adults, not be confined in adult facilities at least until conviction, unless certain court reviews are conducted and a court determines the best interest of justice is being
served.
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ supports provisions of reauthorization that place additional limits and/or procedural requirements on placing youth under age 18 in adult confinement facilities.
23
Recommendation 6: The current proposal includes an allocation of $159 million for FFY 2016 and two-percent increases per year for the five years of the Act. • FACJJ Position: SUPPORT with AMENDMENT – The FACJJ
recommends that total juvenile justice funding be restored, minimally to FFY 2013 levels. Further, the FACJJ recommends that no more than 20 percent of those funds be set aside for specific types of programs (for example, mentoring program support) since large set-asides, in conjunction with increased requirements and reductions in overall funding levels, severely limit the ability of jurisdictions to implement other reforms and practices that have proven to be effective.

Adolescents differ from adults and children:
Less capacity for self-regulation in emotionally charged contexts
Heightened sensitivity to proximal external influences (e.g., peer pressure and immediate incentives)
Less ability than adults to make judgments and decisions that require future orientation
