651 Pine Street, Room 106 CONTRA COSTA CO.
Martinez, California 94553-1293
Dear Jeff :
It was with a great deal of interest that I reviewed
the executive summary of Contra Costa County' s Community-
Based Punishment Options Plan, June 30, 1996, and I am
looking forward to receiving the copy of the full report
that I have requested.
In reading this executive summary and the Juvenile
Hall : Design Program Report, October 14, 1994, it is
clearly evident that Contra Costa County is in great need of
funds for juvenile and adult offender correctional facility
construction and operations .
While the Governor' s new plan for funding county jail
construction and operations will only provide $12 . 5 million
statewide, the Senate worked very hard to pass legislation
that will place a $700 million bond measure for juvenile and
adult local correctional construction on the November 1996
ballot . (Chapter 160, Statutes of 1996 . ) Understanding the
significant need for local juvenile and adult correctional
facility needs, it had been the Senate' s initial hope that
this bond measure would have been for $900 million.
During the final days of budget hearings, the Senate
also worked very hard to include $50 million in the state
budget for a new Juvenile Crime Enforcement and
C��
August 15, 1996
Page 2
Accountability Challenge Grant Program. (Chapter 133 ,
Statutes of 1996 . )
This new program provides counties with the necessary
funding to establish multi-agency juvenile justice
coordinating councils whose purpose will be to develop a
county strategy for dealing with juvenile crime. The State
Board of Corrections shall be responsible for awarding up to
$2 million to counties for this purpose. I have asked the
Board of Corrections to ensure that Contra Costa County is
kept informed of the availability of these grants . (The
Budget also included $32 . 7 million in state funding for
local juvenile camps and ranches . )
As a result of the Senate' s efforts to create a new
realignment on criminal justice programs, Senator Bill
Lockyer' s and my staff have met with a number of county
officials, including Contra Costa' s, in order to discuss
possible county needs for the implementation of such a
realignment proposal . The message from all the counties has
been the same: Counties need additional ward/inmate
capacity and operational dollars . The new augmentations
mentioned above will begin to provide that necessary
support.
My staff has also been in contact with Craig Miller
from your office concerning additional funds available for
county probation offices . My budget committee approved a
California Youth Authority (CYA) budget proposal to provide
a total of $3 million statewide to county probation offices
to develop parenting and mentoring programs for minors who
are fathers or father figures . (A copy of that CYA budget
proposal is enclosed for your review. )
I have already taken the liberty of contacting the CYA
to ask them to keep Contra Costa County informed of the
status of the application process . Presently, the CYA is
planning to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) on August
26, 1996, with a tentative response due date of October 15,
1996 .
Although we still have much work ahead of us, I am very
pleased with the progress that the state has made in
providing support to local criminal justice programs .

these new funds, please feel free to contact either Philip

i Assembly Bill No. 3116
CHAPTER 160
An act to add Title 4.95 (commencing with Section 4498) to Part
3 of the Penal Code, relating to financing the .construction of local
correctional facilities by providing the funds necessary therefor
through the issuance and sale of bonds of the State of California and
by providing for the handling and disposition of those funds,making
an appropriation therefor,and declaring the urgency thereof,to take
effect immediately.
[Approved by Governor July 11, 1996. Filed with
Secretary of State July 12, 1996.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3116, Brulte. County correctional facilities.
Existing law contains various bond acts for the construction of local
correctional facilities.
This bill would enact the Youthful and Adult Offender Local
Facilities Bond Act of 1996 which, if adopted, would authorize, for
purposes of constructing,renovating,remodeling,or replacement of
county juvenile and adult correctional facilities, the issuance of
$700,000,000 in bonds pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond
Law.
The bill would provide for submission of the bond act to the voters
at the November 5, 1996, general election in accordance with
.specified faw.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
Appropriation: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows..
I
SECTION 1. Title 4:95 (commencing with Section 4498) is added
to Part 3 of the Penal Code, to read:
TITLE 4.95. YOUTHFUL AND ADULT OFFENDER LOCAL
FACILITIES BOND ACT OF 1996
CHAPTER 1., GENERAL PROVISIONS
4498. This title shall be known and may be cited as the Youthful
and Adult Offender Local Facilities Bond Act of 1996.
4498.1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
94
I
Ch. 160 —2—
(a)
2—(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide funding for the
capital construction of local facilities for the treatment,
rehabilitation,and punishment of juvenile offenders:Counties do not
have sufficient options for providing a continuum of care for juvenile
offenders that provides for all of the following:
(1) Effecting swift, certain, and effective correctional treatment
j� and penalties for all juvenile offenders.
(2) Treating offenders whose criminality results from substance
abuse or mental disorders.
(3) Requiring community service when appropriate.
(4) Ensuring appropriate supervision in secure and nonsecure
settings.
(5) Promoting integrated service provisions for governmental
and community-based organizations.
(6) Providing alternatives to commitment to the Youth Authority.
(b) Public safety is a primary function and consideration of
government. As evidenced by the overwhelming support for
Proposition 184, the "Three Strikes Initiative," on the November 8,
1994;general election ballot,the people of the State of California are
demanding that violent, serious, and repeat felons be incarcerated
with longer sentences.The passage of Proposition 184 is expected to
adversely impact the capacity of local correctional facilities,creating
a serious safety risk.
(c) Numerous county-adult and juvenile facilities throughout
California are dilapidated and overcrowded, and expansion of
available bed capacity is critical.Capital improvements are.necessary
to protect the life and safety of persons confined or employed in these
facilities, and to upgrade health and sanitary conditions to avoid
threatened closures or the imposition of court-ordered sanctions.
4498.2. As used in this title,the following terms have the following
meanings:
(a) "Committee" means the 1996 Youthful and Adult Offender
Local Facilities Bond Finance Committee created pursuant to
Section 4499.
(b) "Fund" means the 1996 Youthful Offender Local Facilities
Bond Fund or the 1996 Adult Offender Local Facilities Bond Fund,
created pursuant to Section 4498.3.
CHAPTER 2. PROGRAM

4498.3. Of the proceeds of bonds issued and sold pursuant to this
title, three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000) shall be
deposited in the 1996 Youthful Offender Local Facilities Bond Fund,
jwhich is hereby created, and three hundred fifty million dollars

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1760, Lockyer. Juvenile crime enforcement.
Existing law sets forth the powers and duties of the Board of
Corrections, as specified.
This bill would create the Juvenile Crime Enforcement and
Accountability Challenge.Grant Program under the authority of the
Board of Corrections, as specified, and would specify eligibility
requirements for the grants.
The bill would direct the Board of Corrections to award grants that
provide funding for 3 years.
The bill would also authorize the Board of Corrections to award up
to$2,000,000 to counties,pursuant to those provisions.The bill would
direct the Board of Corrections to develop an interim and a final
report on the program,and to submit those reports to the Legislature,
on or before March 1; 1999,and March 1,2001,respectively.The bill
would provide for funding for the program from the Budget Act of
1996, thereby making an appropriation.
The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
Appropriation: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows: .
SECTION 1. In order to reduce the rate of juvenile crime in
California, especially violent juvenile crime, it is the intent of the
Legislature that grants shall be provided to counties that establish
multiagency juvenile justice coordinating councils to develop and
implement a comprehensive strategy for preventing and effectively
responding to juvenile crime. Grants will be awarded on a
competitive basis to counties that (a) develop and implement a
comprehensive, multiagency plan that provides for a continuum of
responses to juvenile crime and delinquency; and (b) demonstrate
a collaborative and integrated approach for implementing a system
96
Ch. 133 —2—
of
2—of swift, certain, and graduated responses for at-risk youth and
juvenile offenders.
SEC. 2. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) The threat of juvenile crime poses the most serious crime
! challenge facing California. The number of juveniles between the
ages of 11 and 17 years,the ages of juveniles responsible for 99 percent
of juvenile arrests, will increase 33 percent in the next decade.
! Juvenile arrests rates for violent crime have generally exceeded those
for adults.
(b) Out of 1,000 police contacts with juvenile offenders, 100 are
referred to probation departments, 50 are accepted for booking at
juvenile hall,25 petitions are filed in juvenile court,12 cases are heard
in court, and six cases result in formal probation.
(c) Between 1983 and 1994,adult and juvenile probation caseloads
increased 65 percent while the number of probation officers
increased only 25 percent.
(d) Between the 1984-85 and 1990-91 fiscal years,the percentage
of county funds allocated to probation departments declined 9
percent,while the percentage allocated to the sheriffs'departments
increased 1 percent and the percentages allocated to the offices of the
district attorneys increased 3 percent. Since 1993,while the sheriffs'
J departments and the offices of the district attorneys have benefited
from Proposition 172 revenues,the probation departments generally
j have not benefited from those revenues.
(e) Between 8 and 12 percent of juvenile offenders account for 60
percent of juvenile and subsequent adult crime. These repeat,
offenders are arrested between four and 14 times during their
criminal careers.Youth Authority wards typically have been arrested
between eight and 33 times.
(f) Responses that are swift and certain after a first offense have
been shown to be more effective at deterring juvenile crime than the
possibility of detention after multiple offenses.
SEC.3. Article 18.7 (commencing with Section 749.2) is added to
Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code,
to read:
Article 18.7. Juvenile Crime Enforcement and Accountability
Challenge Grant Program
749.2. This article shall be known and maybe cited as the Juvenile
Crime Enforcement and Accountability Challenge Grant Program.
749.21. The Juvenile Crime Enforcement and Accountability
Challenge Grant Program shall be administered by the Board of
Corrections for the purpose of reducing juvenile crime and
delinquency.This program shall award grants on a competitive basis

DEPARTMENT OF THE YOUTH AUTHORITY
YOUNG MEN AS FATHERS PARENTING/MENTORING PROGRAMS
FOR COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENTS & OFFICES OF EDUCATION
BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSAL
FISCAL YEAR 1996-97
A. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
This proposal would add 4.3 Person Years and $3,000,000 from the general fund
to establish an ongoing grant program for county probation departments and
offices of education in California. The grants will be used to develop Young Men
As Fathers programs for juveniles who are fathers or father-figures in local
probation juvenile facilities, probation supervision offices, and alternative schools.
The goals of the program are to increase juveniles' parenting knowledge, improve
their attitude about being responsible fathers, improve their self-esteem, and
improve their relationships with the mothers of their children, both while in custody
and after their release. Grant awards will be available to adopt a curriculum,
provide partial offset for teachers' salaries, arrange special family activities, and
develop mentoring programs for male juveniles. Administrative costs for this
program include Youth Authority staff administering the program, providing
technical assistance in curriculum development, and conducting research to
assess the program's success.
B. EXISTING PROGRAM
There currently are 51 juvenile residential camps and ranches operated by 20
county probation departments throughout California. The average daily population
of these facilities in 1994 was 3,619. This includes an average of 3,370 males and
12/14/95 1
249 females. Additionally, there are 48 juvenile halls operated by 42 counties.
The average daily population of these facilities in 1994 was 6,015, including 662
females. In addition to these incarcerated juveniles, a recent survey by the Youth
Authority shows that upward of another 60,000 juveniles are supervised on
probation in the community. A majority of those are males.
Each county office of education operates schools in juvenile probation facilities.
They also operate schools in the community that are alternatives to regular public
schools. These schools are known as continuation, community, and alternative
schools. Many juveniles who are supervised on probation in the community attend
alternative schools.
Since 1993, the Youth Authority has operated two programs that are among the
first parenting programs in the country focusing on young males incarcerated in
correctional institutions or supervised in the community. The programs are based
on the premises that children do better in their families, schools, and communities if
their fathers are involved in their lives, that child maltreatment will decrease if their
fathers have knowledge and skills to be responsible fathers, and that the young
fathers will perform better on probation and afterwards if they have a positive
purpose in their lives.
The Youna Men as Fathers Program, operating in the Institutions and Camps
Branch, currently is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. A sixty-hour culturally sensitive curriculum was developed with
input from departmental staff, outside parenting experts, and Youth Authority wards
who are fathers. The curriculum will be translated into Spanish so the classes can
12/14/95 2
be given to wards who learn easier in Spanish. Special family visiting day
activities reinforce what the wards have learned in class. A mentor program will
become a part of the project to help the young fathers strengthen their relationships
with their children and the mothers of their children. This program is in place at five
Youth Authority institutions and one camp.
The Preparing for Positive Parenting Program operates in the Parole Services and
Community Corrections Branch and is funded by a grant from the Office of Criminal
Justice Planning. A curriculum sensitive to cultural issues and focused on male
youthful offenders was developed by contracted parenting consultants with input
from parole staff. Each course consists of ten two-hour classes taught by parenting
educators with support from Youth Authority staff. The course includes child
development, communication, family planning, domestic violence, and other
important parenting elements. Mentors are introduced to help develop positive
interaction with the family, using lessons learned in the course, and to provide an
on-going support group.
These two programs will be used as models for the proposed Young Men as
Fathers Parenting/Mentoring Program.
C. PROBLEM/NEED
While some parenting programs exist for female juveniles who are incarcerated in
local juvenile facilities or supervised in the community on probation, there are few
such programs available to male,juveniles.
Young men in county juvenile probation facilities have many characteristics similar
to young men in the Youth Authority. Most young men in the Youth Authority were
12/14/95 3
sent to probation camps one or more times before they were committed to the
Youth Authority. The characteristics differ only in that a greater proportion of
probationers are younger than Youth Authority wards. In the Youth Authority, more
than 23% of male wards are already fathers. Others have lived or will live with
women who have children of their own. Still others are father-figures to younger
siblings in their own families. Few of these young men are prepared to assume a
responsible father role.
There is a lack of statewide data that describe the characteristics of juveniles
incarcerated in local probation facilities or supervised on probation in the
community. However, Attachment #1 displays the characteristics of juveniles in
three large counties, Los Angeles, Orange, and Alameda. This population is at
higher risk for a variety of socially dysfunctional\ behavior than the general
population. Male juvenile offenders tend to be deficient in their socialization,
educational attainment, vocational skills, and psychological and emotional
character, Positive parental role models are often lacking, and positive adult male
influence is typically missing. They come from homes where parents and siblings
have multiple social and personality problems and a high percentage have
criminal histories themselves.
The research literature is replete with studies that draw a link between father
absence and dysfunctional behavior. Comments drawn from the following selected
studies underscore that link. Michael Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi report, "Such
family measures as the percentage of the population divorced, the percentage of
households headed by women, and the percentage of unattached individuals in
the community are among the most powerful predictors of crime rates." A 1988
12/14/95 4
study by Deborah A. Dawson in the Journal of Marriage and Family reports that
children living apart from their fathers are far more likely than other children to be
expelled or suspended from school, to display emotional and behavioral problems,
to have difficulty getting along with their peers, and to get in trouble with the police.
A 1990 study commissioned by the Progressive Policy Institute claims, "the
relationship between crime and one-parent families is so strong that controlling for
family configuration erases the relationship between race and crime and between
low income and crime. This conclusion shows up time and again in the literature."
James Q. Wilson, a noted criminologist, extends to communities the importance of
the presence of fathers. He claims that, "Neighborhood standards may be set by
mothers but are enforced by fathers, or at .least by adult males. Neighborhoods
without fathers are neighborhoods without men able and willing to confront errant
youth, chase threatening gangs, and reproach delinquent fathers."
If there is no effort to increase their parenting skills and knowledge, juveniles who
are the subject of this proposal are likely to father and raise children who will have
an even higher risk of becoming delinquent themselves. Children will be more
likely to be raised in families headed by a single parent with the father absent. The
children may well experience more abuse and neglect than children in the general
population. We already know, from the self-reports of current offenders, that the
fathers contribute very little to their children's support, both financially and
emotionally. Offenders who are fathers tend to have little concept of parental
responsibility. They need help to learn how to be obligated to their children,
participate in their children's emotional and financial support, and reduce the
burden on society for their children's support.
12/14/95 5
On June 13, 1995, Governor Pete Wilson convened a Focus on Fathers Summit in
Los Angeles. He expressed concern that the relationship between father absence
from families and child development is driving high rates of teenage pregnancy,
suicide, and juvenile violence. As one step to strengthening the role of fathers in
their families, Governor Wilson directed the Youth Authority to expand its Young
Men as Fathers and Preparing for Positive Parenting Programs to all Youth
Authority institutions, camps, parole offices, and residential drug treatment
programs by December 31, 1997. The state-county partnership described in this
proposal would be an additional step towards addressing the problems of teenage
pregnancy, suicide and, juvenile violence.
D. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• Increase parenting knowledge, skills, and self-esteem of incarcerated juveniles'
and probationers who participate in the program.
• Strengthen the role of fathers in the families of program participants.
• Improve the likelihood that participants will provide emotional and financial
support to their families.
• Provide technical assistance to alternative schools and county probation
institution and supervision staffs to assist in the development of effective
parenting and mentoring programs.
• Increase knowledge about programs that are effective in delivering the program
objectives.
• Encourage collaborations between county probation departments, offices of
education and community-based organizations in the delivery of program
0
services.
12/14/95 6
E. ALTERNATIVES
1 . Create an ongoing grant program to develop Young Men As Fathers
Parenting/Mentoring Programs for juveniles in county probation camps.
probation supervision offices, and alternative schools who are fathers or father-
fiaures.
Advanta es:
a. Reduced incidence of new single-parent, father-absent families through the
actions of program participants.
b. Increased child support paid by program participants because of their taking
greater responsibility for their children.
c. Fewer arrests while on probation.
d. Reduced child maltreatment and delinquency of participants' children.
e. Complies with the spirit of Governor's initiative to , reduce teenage
pregnancy, suicide, and juvenile violence.
f. Increased knowledge regarding program effectiveness.
Disadvantage:
Additional costs and resources.
2. Incorporate parts of parenting programs into existing classes and programs.
Advantage
No additional money or resources.
12/14/95 7
Disadvantages:
a. Inadequate program content.
b. Would take resources and classroom time away from other important
programs.
c. Would not reduce child maltreatment or delinquency because of inadequate.
program content.
d. Much less impact on post-release success.
e. Little, if any, increased child support.
f. Little reduction in the number of single-parent, father-absent families.
g. No additional knowledge regarding program effectiveness.
3. Do nothing. Maintain Status Quo.
Advantage:
No additional money or resources.
Disadvantage:
a. No effect on number of single-parent, father-absent families.
b. Would not reduce child maltreatment or delinquency in the next generation.
c. No reduction of post-release arrests.
d. No increased child support.
e. Greater burden on society to support wards' children.
f. Ignores the Governor's initiative to reduce teenage pregnancy, suicide, and
juvenile violence
12/14/95 8
F. RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1. This is the only alternative that would have any long term impact on
juveniles who are fathers or father-figures. Without parenting education and support,
offenders who are fathers are likely to show a higher incidence of child abuse and
might pass to subsequent generations the delinquent life-style they learned from the
people who raised them.
G. ADVERSE EFFECT IF DENIED
The number of wards who are fathers or father-figures that are admitted to the Youth
Authority will continue to rise. The state would continue to bear the costs of child
abuse and delinquency of the wards' children. The number of father-absent families
will continue to increase, with the associated increase in delinquency and violence.
H. FISCAL DISPLAY
See attached fiscal display. (Attachment 42)
I. IMPLEMENTATION
Grant Awards
Joint applications for grant funds will be made by chief probation officers and
superintendents of the county offices of education responsible for the proposed
programs. Applicants will be given incentives to collaborate with youth centers and
youth shelters that have facilities funded by the Youth Center/Youth Shelter Bond Act
of 1986. In the absence of such a youth center or youth shelter in their area,
applicants will be encouraged to collaborate with other community based
organizations that provide services similar to youth centers and youth shelters. In
addition, applicants will be given incentives to collaborate with Juvenile Crime
12/14/95 9
Prevention programs funded by grants from the Department of Social Services, if such
a program is located in the applicants' service area. Fifty to sixty grants will be
awarded with 25-30 awards each in Northern and Southern California The grant
awards will be used for the following:
• adapt and use the Young Men as Fathers curricula and classroom instruction
materials with male juveniles who are fathers or father figures and who are
incarcerated in county juvenile facilities, being supervised on probation, or
attending alternative schools ;
• provide partial cost of teachers' salaries and classroom resources (Special "non-
supplantation" language will be added to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the
contracts to ensure that this funding is not simply absorbed into the county's
general fund);
• develop mentoring programs which will match positive male role models with the
juveniles. (Funds will be used to recruit, provide training for, and supervise
matches between mentors and juveniles.); and
• arrange family activities to encourage connection between the young men and
their children.
Typical Grant Program and Budget
A typical program will consist of 4 cycles each year. Each cycle will include 60 hours of
classroom instruction, one family activity event, and a mentor component. A typical
budget for each grant award may be as follows:
12/14/95 10
Teacher Salary
Classroom instruction and preparation $ 18,900
Teacher training, curriculum preparation, recruit presenters 9,450
Family activity 8,400
Mentor program 8.400
Total Teacher Salary $45,150
Operating Expense
Classroom materials and resources ' $ 5,000
Family activity supplies and expenses 1 ,000
Mentor Supplies, stipends and expenses 1 .000
Total Operating Expenses $7,000
Indirect Cost (10% of Net Budget) $5,215
Total Cost $ 57.000
Program Administration
The application and monitoring process will be kept simple in order to minimize red
tape and overhead costs. Counties may be required to provide matching funds.
Counties will be encouraged to use outside experts to present some of the subject
matter, such as arranging for representatives from relevant county departments and
community based organizations to make classroom presentations. Typical
presentations will include those from the District Attorney's Office (re: child support and
domestic violence), Child Protective Services (re: child abuse and neglect), County
12/14/95 11
Health Department (re: developmental health, vaccinations, proper diet and meal
planning), Planned Parenthood (re: family planning), and the American Red Cross
(first aid, CPR, accidental poisoning).
Program administration costs will include the following:
One Parole Agent III (1 PY) (Northern California)
This position will be housed in Northern California, and will be responsible for grant
administration as well as the development of the RFP and award process. This
position will also monitor grant awards and provide technical assistance to grant
recipients in Northern California. This level of technical assistance will be required
since these programs do not currently exist anywhere among the county probation
programs. The position request is made at this level due to the total amount of
funding to be monitored, the level of content expertise required, and the ability to
interact effectively with chief probation officers, superintendents of county offices of
education, and other high level county officials. Managers of grant funding in the
Youth Authority are typically at this level.
Typical duties will include:
• Recruit RFP Development Group. (10 hrs.)
• Develop RFP to include minimum requirements for grant awards, including
minimum of 60 hours per cycle of classroom instruction of course material by
credentialed teacher, a mentor program, and special family activities. (30 hours)
• Administer RFP process, including advertisement, selection of Evaluation Team,
evaluation and selection, notification of award and protest process. (160 hrs.)
• Develop and manage contracts for grant awards. (80 hrs.)
12/14/95 12
• Monitor grant awards at Northern California locations (2 hrs./site/quarter x
maximum of 10 sites) (80 hrs.)
• Monitoring travel time. (5 hrs. travel to/from maximum 10 sites/quarter) (200 hrs.)
• Technical assistance. (10 hrs./ week by telephone; 1 weekly visit to site for
meetings Q 2 hrs, plus 5 hrs. travel per visit) (884 hrs.)
• Administrative and budget meetings; monitoring reports. (8 hrs./week) (416 hrs.).
Total hours/year for Parole Agent III (Northern California) 1,860 hours
One Parole Agent III (1 PY) (Southern California)
This position will be housed in Southern California. The position will assist the Parole
Agent III in Northern California in developing the RFP and the award process. This
position will also monitor and provide extensive technical assistance to grant
recipients in Southern California. Again, this level of technical assistance will be
required, since these programs do not currentlyexist anywhere among the county
probation programs. The position request is made at this level due to content
expertise required as well as the ability to interact effectively with chief probation
officers, superintendents of county offices of education, and other high level county
officials. Typical duties will include:
• Help develop RFP to include minimum requirements for award, including minimum
of 60 hours per course of classroom instruction of course material by credentialed
teacher. (30 hours)
• Assist in administering the RFP Process, including advertisement, selection of
Evaluation Team, evaluation and selection, notification of award and protest
process. (160 hrs.)
• Monitor awards at Southern & Central California facilities. (2 hrs./site/quarter x
maximum of 10 sites) (80 hrs.)
12/14/95 13
• Monitoring travel time. (avg. 4 hrs. travel to/from maximum 10 sites/quarter)
(160 hrs.)
• Technical assistance (avg. 10 hrs./ week by telephone; avg. 1 weekly visit to an
award site for meetings @ 2 hrs. plus 4 hrs. travel per visit) (832 hrs.)
• Administrative meetings/monitoring reports (8 hrs./week) (416 hrs.)
Total hours/year for Parole Agent III (Southern California) 1,678 hours
One and One-half Office Technician Position (1.5 PY - Total)
1/2 PY - Northern California, 1/2 PY - Southern California, 1/2 PY Research.
These half-time positions will provide necessary clerical support to the two Parole
Agent III positions and the Research Program Specialist I. The level and
disbursement of these positions is consistent with standard Youth Authority practice.
One Research Program Specialist I (Social Behavioral) (1 PY)
This position will be responsible for conducting an evaluation of the Young Men As
Fathers programs. The position will function with minimum supervision based on the
relatively independent nature of the tasks involved. Additionally, this position will be
required to interact effectively with chief probation officers, superintendents of county
offices of education, and other high level county officials. The evaluation program will
1) determine if the programs are implemented according to their stated goals and
design; 2) measure the amount and direction of change in attitudes, knowledge, and
self-esteem about child rearing with regard to the youthful. offenders and their families;
3) determine the relative effectiveness of the individual programs and 4), for selected
individual programs, determine the effectiveness of the parenting programs on
participants compared to young offenders.who do not receive program services, but
who are matched for similar characteristics (and drawn from current or prior-year
12/14/95 14
population cohorts in the same county or region). Data on foster care placement,
abuse/neglect reports, and AFDC status will be obtained from the Department of
Social Services (DSS) in order to gain a better understanding of the juvenile's family
of origin and procreation (as part of a larger collaborative effort with DSS). These
data, coupled with quantitative data (and some interview data) will provide the material
to describe the history and characteristics of the juvenile offenders and their families
who significantly benefit from the program. Probation departments and county offices
of education will be responsible for providing tracking information on each program
participant. Data will be maintained on changes in family status, child support
payments, referrals to child protective services, significant incidents related to family
functions, employment, and recidivism. The Research Program Specialist I
(Social/Behavioral) will perform the following duties:
Design data collection and survey forms. (240 hrs.)
Pretest forms and coordinate data collection efforts with county staff. (160 hrs.)
Train county and contract staff on use of forms, administration of surveys, and maintain
good cooperation. (site visits and telephone contact). (640 hrs.)
Solicit completed forms and perform quality control checks/returns. (400 hrs.)
Supervise data entry and assemblage of computer files. (60 hr.)
Computer data analysis and report writing. (320 hrs.)
Meet with project staff for feedback, interview selected staff and participants. (200 hrs.)
Total hours/year for Research Program Specialist 2,020 hours
Implementation Timeline
The Youth Authority has gained extensive knowledge and experience about
parenting programs. This knowledge and experience will be put to use to
12/14/95 15
prepare for the program as much as possible before the funds become
available. With this advance preparation, grants should be awarded to counties
soon after July 1, 1996.
