1. Thesis: The lack of biological parent’s involvement with the juvenile system is a primary predictor in a juvenile’s situation in regards to recidivism rates and their ability to return to their parent’s custody.
2. Intro: There are a great deal of individuals and agencies whom become involved in the juvenile process (Pierpoint, 2000; White, 2002). As many scholars have discovered, parents play a prominent role in a youth’s development (Baer & Maschi, 2003; Church II, MacNeil, Martin, & Nelson-Gardell, 2009; Fletcher, Steinberg, & Williams-Wheeler, 2004; Garfinkel, 2010; Juvenile Justice Network, 2015; Maschi, Schwalbe, & Ristow, 2013; Varma, 2007; Whelan, 2003; Williams, & Smalls, 2015). Based on those research designs, it leads us into …show more content…
(Garcia et al., 2015; Wu, & Pooler, 2014).
• Help delinquents back into society (Goldkind, 2014).
• Role as an “appropriate adult” (White, 2002).
3) Biological Parents
• Why they do not always participate o Fear, ashamed, does not care (Garfinkel, 2010).
• They are a VERY important factor (Baer & Maschi, 2003; Church II, et al., 2009; Fletcher et al., 2004; Garfinkel, 2010; Juvenile Justice Network, 2015; Maschi, et al., 2013; Varma, 2007; Whelan, 2003; Williams, & Smalls, 2015).
• Establishing attachment and bond (Haight, Kagle, & Black, 2003; Gauthier, Fortin, & Jéliu, 2004; Whelan, 2003).
4. Policies: When it comes to the juvenile system, there are quite a few different policies and programs that come into play that can affect one’s placement and contact with certain individuals and agencies. There a different policies currently in place that can affect a juvenile delinquent. 1) CHIPS petitions
• Child in need of protective services (Parent Guide to the Juvenile Court CHIPS process, n.d) o Under 18, removed but for non-criminal concerns (Parent Guide to the Juvenile Court CHIPS process, n.d) o Non-criminal concerns that can impact their lives (Baer & Maschi, …show more content…
• Placement back with their parents is ideal (Amandoala, 2009; D’andrade & Huong, 2014). o That does not happen that often (D’andrade & Huong, 2014; Mallon, 1998)
JIPS and CHIPS petitions are policies that help to give children protection (Waukesha County Circuit Courts, nd), while permanency planning is a bit more long term oriented (Amandoala, 2009; Maluccio et al., 1986). All three policies focus on removing any wrong-doing, (Amandoala, 2009, Maluccio et al., 1986; Waukesha County Circuit Courts, n.d), but both JIPS and CHIPS tend to place the juvenile out of home (Waukesha County Circuit Courts), while permanency plans aim to bring children back home to their families (Amandoala, 2009; Maluccio et al., 1986).
5. Theory: The theory that most connects to my problem and solution is attachment theory.
• Attachment theory Social work background (Whelan, 2003). o Bond between infant and parents (Haight et al., 2003; Gauthier et al., 2004; Whelan,
