The use of American Indian cultural activities in substance abuse prevention programs is part of the indigenous cultural renaissance that has been under way in tribal communities since the late 1960’s. American Indians’ pride in their heritage has been growing, as has their awareness of their unique position as nations within a nation (Beauvais, 1992).

One hundred years ago, the Illinois legislature enacted the Illinois Juvenile Court Act (1899 Ill. Laws 132 et seq.), creating the first separate juvenile court. The policy debates raging around the country in this centennial year, however, make it uncertain whether the traditional juvenile court will prevail. To put these debates in a proper historical perspective, it may be useful to review the evolution of the court.

The juvenile court is a noble institution--a noble, underfunded, often unappreciated institution charged with the most important duty imaginable, protecting and reforming our children when all else has failed.

As Americans look back over the 20th century, the increasing criminalization of girls and women and the realization that they now make up the fastest growing segments of the juvenile and criminal justice systems must spark a major public response. Further, as a comprehensive national strategy to promote public safety into the 21st century is developed, the youngest and least visible female offenders--adolescent girls-- and their children must be a core focus. Given the developmental and childbearing potential of these young women and the generally low risk they pose to their communities, addressing their needs offers the Nation its best hope of halting the intergenerational cycle of family fragmentation and crime.

Are traditional child safety messages effective, accurate, and complete? Do they adequately warn children about the threats to their safety? Do they unduly frighten children and parents? Are we giving children information that makes them more vulnerable to victimization rather than less? To answer these questions, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) reviewed existing research and its own data base of long-term abduction cases that do not involve family members. This review helped test long-standing child-protection messages while providing a basis for creating more effective messages.

According to authorities, there is unprecedented growth in child pornography in the United States largely because of the Internet, which provides child sexual predators with a virtually undetectable means of sending and receiving illicit im- ages of children (Huycke, 1997). Because of its anonymity, rapid transmission, and unsupervised nature, the Internet has become the venue of choice for predators who transmit and receive child pornogra- phy. “The Internet is the ultimate distribution system for child pornography,” says Robert Flores, a former attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (Kaplan, 1997). “Before the Internet, pedophiles and child predators targeted children in parks and playgrounds, offering ice cream or candy to gain the child’s trust.” Today, the virtual playground of cyberspace affords these child sexual predators the opportunity to engage children in anonymous exchanges that often lead to personal questions designed to assess whether the child can be lured into sexual conversations and sexual contact.

The relationship between youth gang involvement in drug trafficking and homicide is poorly understood. Unfortunately, youth gang drug trafficking is characterized mainly by public perception rather than by scientific knowledge (Hunzeker, 1993; Jackson, 1997; Johnson, 1989). The predominant public image of the role of youth gangs in drug traf- ficking was established by a University of California study (Skolnick, 1990; Skolnick et al., 1988) conducted a decade ago.
青少年帮派参与贩毒和杀人之间的关系,人们了解得很少。不幸的是,青少年帮派贩毒的特点主要是公众的看法,而不是科学知识(Hunzeker, 1993;杰克逊,1997;约翰逊,1989)。加利福尼亚大学的一项研究确立了青年帮派在毒品贩运中所起作用的主要公众形象(Skolnick, 1990;Skolnick et al., 1988)十年前进行的研究。

Responding to commonly held perceptions that aftercare was one of the weakest links in the juvenile justice system and contributed to high rates of recidivism, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announced its Intensive Community-Based Aftercare Programs (IAP) initiative in July 1987. The IAP initiative was designed to help public and private correctional agencies implement effective aftercare programs for chronic and serious juvenile offenders.
