Summary: The JAC proposes to conduct an in-depth analysis of youth from Chicago committed to IDJJ by the Cook County Juvenile Court. The focus of the analysis will be youth committed to IDJJ on "bring back orders" for drug offenses and for misdemeanor offenses. We intend to analyze the IDJJ commitment records and any available assessment scores upon entry to IDJJ, all arrest records for the youth committed to IDJJ, and detention history for all youth committed to IDJJ. Combined, these data sets will provide an overview of youths' arrest history, recidivism rates in terms of rearrests, detention stays, new commitments to IDJJ, history of separation from family and community in detention, and initial insight into dispositional data. The partners may also have access to data regarding services provided to youth via JISC or DFSS providers, and YASI scores when committed to IDJJ.
