The DMCPS works with families to ensure the safety and well-being of children within that family. DMCPS helps families who are in crises along with many community partners to ensure that the children within that family are safe.

He or she will determine if the child is unsafe in the home and how to make the home for that child safe. This may include several visits and monitoring of the home, the child being taken from the home and put into foster care till safety concerns are cleared up and if this problem cannot be resolved the child may be taken from the home permanently (Wisconsin department of children and family, …show more content…
Those programs that are tailored to juvenile delinquency provide a structure support system for juveniles to successful adults. A notable program that has effectiveness in juvenile delinquency is the Court Appointed Friend and Advocate (CAFA) program, which is located in Santa Clara, California (Judicial Council of California, 2017). This program allows the juvenile courts system in its jurisdiction to appoint a juvenile advocate to sponsor a juvenile in their journey to be a successful and contributing member of the community. When a juvenile is required to report to a court hearing for a juvenile delinquent related offense, the judge may offer the juvenile a deferred entry of judgement (DEJ) and order the juvenile to participate in the CAFA program. The court will also assign a juvenile advocate, who is also an officer of the court, to the juvenile’s case. The juvenile advocate has the authority to access all related information to the juvenile including court record, school records, medical records, and probation files (Superior Courts of California, 2014). The juvenile advocate is act as agent, mentor, and friend for the juvenile. Their primary goal is to understand the juvenile and provide direction that will be acceptable for the courts and provide a positive road for the juvenile to follow (Judicial Council of California, 2017). Their other responsibilities
Juvenile correctional systems have many different components and some are likely to be affected with a primary focus on rehabilitation. Today the United States falls short of providing adequate public juvenile facilities. With a focus on punishment, the need for new facilities will continue to rise. Switching the primary focus to
Spectrum portrays a wonderful treatment plan and environment for these young enrollees to develop into adulthood for a brighter future for themselves. The program provides minors with supervision, guidance, and education which allows the juvenile to gain life skills, knowledge, and growth. Help young men realize it is more to life than the criminal lifestyle they once knew. So, it seems the program tries to provide the services it claims for the juvenile delinquents in the treatment center. Spectrum wants to reduce recidivism as much as possible by concentrating on the central problems from previous criminal behavior. Each youth will have the chance to become involved with group, family, and individual therapy to rearrange their adverse conduct and help boys develop into mature young men.
Juvenile Justice Centers can teach inmates important character traits. In this article about the Juvenile Justice Center program called the Diversion Male Court (DMC) it states, “All participants are
“The NRCDV’s four key initiatives include Building Comprehensive Solutions to Domestic Violence, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project, the DV Evidence Project, and VAWnet.” Under the Building Comprehensive Solutions Domestic Violence section, it offers a platform that promotes guidance on challenging advocacy issues, for example, child safety supporting victims with ongoing contact with abusive partners. The mission of BCS is to promote victim-defined advocacy and responses. The second section goes over the Domestic Violence Awareness Project. “The NRCDV’s Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) supports and promotes the national, tribal, territorial, state and local advocacy networks in their ongoing education efforts through public
The underlying rationales of the juvenile court system are that youth are developmentally different from adults and that their behavior is impressionable and able to be fixed. Rehabilitation and treatment, in addition to community protection, are considered to be primary and viable goals. If we can
Upon my research I found out that there are many justices related programs from a restorative or community framework that are being offered and available to people all ages, from 0 to 4 and even 55+, races and genders. In order to determine what program I want to look deeper into and examine, I turned to the Office of Justice Programs website which lists over 400 programs available. The website points out what programs work and where tested and those that where deemed as failed researches and programs, more specifically 90 effective programs, 272 as promising, and 81 as no effect. One particular program that I was interested in and is listed as one of the effective programs and applies to my set of principles is Adolescent Diversion Project (ADP) or another name they use is Michigan State University Adolescent Project (MSUAP) which was founded and is practiced at Michigan State University. The set of principles that I found Adolescent Diversion Project (ADP) program relevant to are: restorative justice should not be mandated in a top-down authoritarian process, no single road map or blueprint for every individual involved, all persons involved must be prepared to make mistakes, assistance provided should help people involved in the long run, crime involves disruptions in a three dimensional relationship of victim, community, and offender, the primary goals should be to repair the harm, heal the victim and the community, and rehabilitate offenders.
I can honestly say that this domestic violence course was my favorite course that I took this semester. In this course I learned a lot from the book material and presentations as well as personal information and stories from the instructor. Classes like these are more engaging and catches the attention of the student and makes subject matter so much more intersting. I've never enjoyed schooling but this class I looked forward to coming to. It might have helped that it was only once a week. I felt that I learned a lot of real-life information and about real situations that happened here in Wichita. This course gave me a better insight to how much domestic violence is truly going on and how close it is.
Together for Girls is partnered with the CDC Foundation and the program focuses on three major pillars. These three strategies will allow Together for Girls to mobilize support in effort to change the number of children who are getting abused each day. The first pillar focuses on conducting national surveys and data. This enables the program to document the magnitude, nature, and the impact of the certain types of violence against children (TGF, 2017). This information will allow the government leaders, civil society, and donors to be aware of the situation. To know how to prevent violence, it is better to understand the impact of child abuse and violence. The second pillar looks at the evidence-based policies and programs
Alternative programs for youth were developed for mild and less serious delinquents. Over the years, the program has seen a surge in electronic home monitoring, community intensive supervision programs which service serious offenders in addition to minor cases. At times, group homes may house repeated youth offenders. Regardless of the placement, 24-hour supervision is provided in a unique way.
Program planning is the implementation of evaluation process. It is the groundwork where priorities are decided and the results are analyzed on a measurable scale.
Within this system are numerous sub-systems to help create a better juvenile program for rehabilitation. Programs provided are not only pointed towards juveniles in general, but have several programs specifically for both male and female delinquents.

In looking to start an educational program for intimate partner or domestic violence, I would want to first want to establish a program that people would look to seek out and feel safe with. According to our reading, only 10% of domestic violence incidences are reported however there have been more then 1 million women who have sought medical treatment for injuries relating to domestic violence (Lynch, 2014). I think that through education and advertisement of the program to victims involved in these incidences, they would be more knowledgeable that there is a program that is available to them were they can seek help and counseling in a safe environment.
In 2001 San Bernardino County community leaders created the Juvenile Intervention Program (J.I.P) to show troubled youth the reality of
