Juvenile Justice: A Wisconsin Blueprint for Change. Report of the Juvenile Justice Study Committee.
Wisconsin State Div. of Youth Services, Madison.
This document contains recommendations made by the Wisconsin Juvenile Justice Study Committee. Created by the Governor and the Wisconsin State Legislature to study the effectiveness of the Children's Code and related issues, the committee recommended changes that would significantly alter the way Wisconsin treats young lawbreakers. To the primary objective of offender rehabilitation, the committee adds personal accountability and community protection. Recommendations include: (1) create a separate chapter in statutes for juvenile offenders; (2) broaden court jurisdiction over juveniles, ease confidentiality requirements, expand parent responsibility, and modify procedures for holding and evaluating juveniles; (3) revise the Youth Aids allocation formula; and (4) encourage statewide use of the Juvenile Classification system.
