Juvenile Law in Oregon Oregon Revised Statutes 2010; General Provisions and Definitions  419A.018 – The Juvenile Department is a County Agency.  419A.020 – The County is responsible for the expenses of the Juvenile Department.  419A.012 – The Juvenile Department shall investigate every youth before the court, be present at hearing, take custody as directed by court.

Priorities/Outcomes Public Safety Successful Community Youth Victim Partnerships Services

Youth Referrals  Criminal (193)  Violation (129)  Status Offense (93) In the 12 month period between 5/1/2013 and 4/30/2014 we received 415 referrals (378 from 2012 to 2013)

Services = Outcomes Court Services – From the beginning to the end in the court process (Juvenile provides the same services as the DA for youth up to and including help at trial). Field Services - From the beginning to the end of the supervision process. (Same services that Community Corrections provides). Informal - Keeping youth out of the court process and without a “formal” record.

Criminal Charges  Person-to-Person  Property  Drug Services look very different depending on level of crime and the youth’s risk level.

Violations and Status Offenses  Possession  Minor specific acts Again, services look very different depending on level or number.

Services to meet outcomes  Letters  Counseling/Education Classes  Informal Supervision(No Court)  Court Services and Probation  Detention/Community Service  Commitment to Residential Treatment  Commitment to a Youth Correctional Facility

Services = Outcomes People working with people Total Budget: $1,100,800 Revenues: $283,000 (State Funds through OYA) Requirement: $ 817,800 (General Fund) 26% of the budget is revenue Our budget is mostly personnel costs and direct services: $677,600 (8 FTE) Continued detention three bed contract ($147,000)+300 days, $191,200 ($88,000 from the state).

Services = Outcomes From 4/15/2012 - 4/15/2013, 387 youth were referred to our department. From 5/1/2013 – 4/30/2014, 415 youth were referred. We utilized detention services for 79 youth in the 12 month period from 5/1/2013 – 4/30/2014 ( 233 detention intakes the last full year of operation ) Our department serves between 100 and 150 youth at any given time (130 currently)

Do the Dollars make Sense? Our entire budget of $1,100,800/415 = $2,652.00 ($1,971 from county funds) Current prison bed rate in Oregon is $87.08 per day That’s 30.5 days in prison for the same $$$ A 20 year Measure 11 sentence = $635,684 We do the preventative work on the front end, so the adult system won’t have to intervene with punishment (Measure11) or rehabilitation on the back end.
