FEDERAL FUNDS {33DP) RE 47 678 9~ 9. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Youth Links will continue to function as a component o the Butte County delinquency prevention and diversio services. In this capacity, the program will offer assessment, counseling,~referral, and placement of at~risk youth and first time .offenders. With interagency coordination of efforts, any existing gaps in services for youth will be minimized.. Education programs and materials will be offered to schools, community groups, law enforcement agencies, .and parents with subject matter covering youth and related juvenile laws. 10. PROBLEM STATEMENT: Approximately one-half of the 996 cases processed by the Butte County juvenile justice system do not ~ °s n receive direct client services to either the youth or to their `~ families, These cases are predominately 601(status) offenses ~~ o o and minor 602(delinquency} offenses. It is guesstimated 90% of ~ all referrals reflect family pro'~lems rather than delinquent youth. With edcuation and family intervention programs these youth can be diverted from the juvenile justice system. 1 11. 083ECTIVES: T ere are our objectives: a a coordinated effort between Butte County law enforcement agencies, Probation, land Youth Links in the identification and reduction of youth at-risk of future penetration of the juvenile justice system, (b) reduce the motivation of youth to engage in delinquent behavior(601/602) by increasing their understnding of social performance, conformance expectatins', and consquences of law violations, (c} Increase services to families of at-risk status offenders and minor delinquent juveniles, (d) increase inter-agen y cooperation and cover apparent gaps in service delivery. PROJ~T S4~~iARY Page 2 12, This delinquency prevention program will focus on youth exhibiting delinquent and pre-delinquent behavior with emphasi placed on serviceing unadjudicated at-risk 602 s and/or juveniles at-risk of being referred to juvenile court under Section 601 Welfar and Institutions Code. Service activities will. include short-term counseling, follow-up referral and case management for youth referre to the program. Temporary placement in foster homes will be provide when the situation warrants. The project will cooperate in the use of a 24-hour crisis hotline and will coordinate delinquency preventionand diversion efforts with existing programs. 13, ~yA1.T1ATT[lN: All cases will become part of the Federal YIF system, a centralized casework/statistical system tied to runaway projects. By establishing a caseflow chart for each youth served it will be possible to estimate the proportion of youths at-risk covered prior to the project as well as after the projects inception.
