UPCOMING PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT

This program is the fourth in a series of audio-teleconference
presentations produced by the Pacific Institute for Research and
Evaluation (PIRE) and the American Probation and Parole Association
(APPA) in cooperation with the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) with a focus on the relationship of the
judicial and probation communities and the issues related to underage
alcohol abuse. 

TITLE:              Judges to Judges: What is the Impact of underage
drinking on the courts' caseloads?

COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

The impact of underage drinking is not well discussed or even
acknowledged because the related problems that occupy a significant
amount of the Court's time do not carry a label "underage drinking". Yet
the illegal activity of drinking by the underage youth creates many
associations for additional illegal activities.  Judges and court staffs
around the country are looking for information and seeking best
practices to provide youthful offenders with the best possible outcomes.


 

The U.S. Surgeon General's "Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce
Underage Drinking" called for increasing the knowledge of judges and
others in the justice system about the nature and scope of underage
drinking. The education needs include how to identify the underage
drinking problem in your case load when alcohol is not part of the
charged offense. How do the judges identify the alcohol risks for a
child on the Children in Need of Service docket and experiencing
stressful events such as divorce or abuse may be at increased risk for
alcohol involvement? Our program panel of judges will share how they
identify the impacts of underage alcohol problems for the young people
in their courts (adult and juvenile) and discuss what information they
would like to have in the future to address these problems.
