FOREWORD

This report provides an overview of juvenile court dispositions in Pennsylvania during 1993 and summarizes information provided by county juvenile probation departments.

The report would not be possible without the funding support of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, and the information supplied by the courts of common pleas and juvenile probation departments of this Commonwealth.

In an effort to enhance the presentation of data, tables, graphs and charts have been included. Although the report focuses primarily on delinquency dispositions, information has again been included on dependency cases which have been referred to juvenile probation departments. While county children and youth agencies handle the overwhelming majority of cases involving dependent children in the Commonwealth, some juvenile probation departments provide services to children who are alleged to be dependent on the basis of ungovernability or chronic truancy.

The information contained in this report is of value to all individuals, agencies and organizations having an interest in Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system. However, it is not intended to reflect the total workload of juvenile courts or juvenile probation departments.

It is with great pleasure that we dedicate this report to the judges, probation officers, and other professionals who work on a daily basis in the interest of their communities and the young persons who have been entrusted to their care.

Respectfully submitted,

{2 'i.A_ .&et[~ Emanuel A. Cassimatis Chairperson

PREFACE

This report is a compilation of the data collected from the juvenile probation departments in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A sample of the statistical card used to collect the information can be found in the appendix.

As in the past, to avoid confusion regarding the unit of count used in tabulating Juvenile Court statistics and to improve the understanding of how data can be interpreted please note:

1. The primary unit of count is the "DISPOSITION". A "DISPOSITION" is defined as a referrell disposed by the probation department and/or the court. Within a single delinquency referral, a youth may be charged with a number of offenses which may include a number of petitions, anyone youth may be involved in a number of dispositions within a calendar year. In addition, a youth may be referred on more than one occasion and receive only one disposition. Dependency dispositions reported include only referrals to probation departments alleging dependency which are not accompanied by allegations of delinquency. Therefore, one is cautioned NOT to attempt to interpret the data as:

a) the number of youth who are processed by the court;

b) the number of offenses charged to juveniles.

2. There are times when you will see the word "CASE" used to describe the data, In this report the word "CASE" is used interchangeably with the word "DISPOSITION";

3. Therefore, the "UNIT OF COUNT" refers to a case disposed by a juvenile court and/or probation department. The term "DISPOSED" means that some definite action/decision has been implemented or that some treatment plan has been decided upon or begun;

4. The statistical system is constructed to collect up to a total of the four (4) most serious offenses per delinquency disposition;

5. The Commission collects additional information on "PLACEMENT REVIEWS", "DISPOSITION REVIEWS", and selected special conditions attached to a disposition. The "DISPOSITION REVIEW" is a hearing conducted before the court regarding a previous disposition which did not result in out-of-home placement A "PLACEMENT REVIEW" is a hearing conducted befors the court regarding a previous disposition which did involve out-ot-home placement. The outcome of reviews are reported only in the review section and are NOT included in any of the other tables.

6. The data in the Secure Detention section were collected pursuant to the Commission's monitoring responsibility under the Coleman Consent Decree. This information should not be compared with the dispositional detention data collected and reported prior to 1989.

Custom reports including any information contained in tables which have been deleted from this report can be obtained by contacting the Director of the Statistical Analysis Center at Shippensburg University, 717-532-1412.

TIME LAPSE FROM REFERRAL TO DISPOSITION FOR DELINQUENCY CASES, 1993'

Time lapse information is calculated from the date of referral to the date of disposition. As with all the previous tables, disposition and placement reviews and dependency cases are not included. This year, the dispositions are grouped into one of two categories, formal and informal. A disposition is counted in the formal category if a date was located in the Date of Hearing field on the statistical card (an example of the card is included in the appendix) indicating that a formal court hearing was conducted.

The median is used in place of the mean or average for better accuracy in reporting. The mean can be affected by one extreme case that required a long time to dispose, while the median would not be affected. The median is defined as the value above and below which half of the' cases fall.

DELINQUENCY OFFENSES

The four most serious offenses, alleged and substantiated, per disposition are collected. For the report, they have been collapsed into categories. Grouped into the Person category are offenses such as simple assault, aggravated assault, rape, robbery, etc. Property offenses include burglary, all thefts, criminal trespass, vandalism, and other related offenses. All of the offenses (up to four) and their counts are reported in the two data tables.

The most serious alleged offense per disposition was used to create the line chart on page 25. It shows the trends from 1989 to 1993 of Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault and Drug offenses.

The number of dispositions with serious offenses, (rape, robbery, and aggravated assault), have increased 33 percent since 1989. In 1989, 13 percent of the total number of dispositions had a serious offense as the most serious alleged offense. In 1993 that figure increased to 15.9 percent. The largest single category increase was Aggravated Assault with a 14.5 percent increase. Drug offenses increased 6.2 percent from 1992. Only the number of dispositions with rape as the most serious offense decreased.

SECURE DETENTION

The federal class action suit Coicrylan \/. Stanziani, Civil Action No. 81-2215, was settled via Consent Decree in 1986. In that settlement, the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission was assigned responsibility for monitoring compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree and the Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention.

Detention information appearing in the Disposition Report was extracted from the Coleman database housed at the Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research. The tables, and more detailed information on detention use, can be found in the biannual monitoring reports the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission submits to the Attorney General, the Juvenile Law Center, and all other counsel to the litigants in tre pO!?..I!@!!...case.

In accordance with the Consent Decree, all counties, except Philadelphia, must report their secure detention use to the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission. This is accomplished statewide through the detention centers. Each month 20 of Pennsylvania's 21 secure juvenile detention centers report their detention admissions along with Statements of Facts and Reasons that accompany each admission. Philadelphia County is not included in this reporting system.

To avoid confusion in the interpretation of the data contained in these tables, the reader should note the following:

100 Codes

200 Codes

701 Code

The unit of count is the admission of a juvenile to a secure detention center;

A juvenile admitted to a secure detention center in the county of residence who is transferred to another secure detention center without release is counted as two admissions.

Since the Coleman Consent Decree went into effect in 1986, admissions to secure detention in Pennsylvania have increased each year. In 1987 there were 5,875 admissions and in 1993 there were 9,800 admissions; This represents a 66.8 percent increase in statewide secure detention use. This does not include Philadelphia County, where secure detention activity is controlled by the settlement in Santiago v. City of PhiladelphiaL Civil Action No. 74-2589. In 1993 Philadelphia County detained 5,117 juveniles at the Youth Study Center.

There has been an increase of 5.5 percent in detention admissions from 1992 to 1 993. The length of stay figures were calculated using the median in place of the mean or average for better accuracy in reporting. The mean can be affected by one extreme case that remained in detention for a long period of time; while the median would not be affected. The median is defined as the value above and below which half of the cases fall.

The chart on page 29 shows utilization rates in secure detention centers in 1993. Eighty-five percent of these dstention centers provide services to several counties on a regular basis. Utilization rates for Philadelphia County are not included in this chart. Six detention centers operated at or over capacity in 1 993. Of those six centers, three have plans to build new facilities with increased bed capacities (Berks, Bucks, Dauphin).

DEPENDENCY DISPOSITIONS

In 1991, the Commission began collecting information on dependency dispositions which are processed' by juvenile probation departments. These figures do not reflect the total number of dependency cases in the Commonwealth nor do they represent the total number of dependency cases handled by juvenile probation departments. A dependency case is defined as a new referral which is processed by the juvenile probation department and does not have accompanying delinquency allegations.

Only the counties that reported dependency disposItions are shown in the tables in this section.
