BOARD REPORT
The legislation requires that the comprehensive multi-agency juvenile justice plan be developed by the
local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council to be chaired by the County Probation Officer. With approval
from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, the Probation Department has implemented this plan
during the three years of program implementation. Contra Costa County's allocation for year 2002-2003
was $3,247,153. The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Allocation (JJCPA) has allowed Contra Costa
County to maintain funding for significant children's services. Funding through JJCPA allowed for the
continuation of programs during the third year of funding. The following summarizes the programs that
are for continued funding under JJCPA.
COMMUNITY PROBATION PROGRAM
Assigned to this program are eight (8) deputy probation officers to various police departments throughout
the county. These agencies are Richmond Police Department, San Pablo Police Department, Martinez
Police Department, Concord Police Department, San Ramon Police Department, Pittsburg Police
Department, Antioch Police Department and Brentwood Police Department.
The Community Probation Unit works with"at risk"youth in the community. Youth that are identified as
living in a service area, in a continuation high school and on probation for a serious offense are candidates
for acceptance into the program. Any youth in the service areas that are identified by either probation or
local law enforcement as needing additional supervision are also accepted into the program. The program
goals are to rehabilitate our troubled youth through intensive supervision and cooperation with local law
enforcement, schools, and community-based organizations. Program goals include, but are not limited to,
reducing recidivism, truancy, increasing academic achievement,building upon the strengths of the family,
and increasing cooperation with local law enforcement and the schools. Each service area has features
tailored to the strengths of their community. Features include: youth diversion panels, home visits with
local law enforcement, evening visits and phone contacts by the deputy probation officer, intensive drug
testing, close cooperation with community-based organizations, referrals to local counseling resources,
participation in school truancy boards, joint police agency-probation gang information meetings,
participation in the U.S. Marshall's Fugitive Retrieval Teams, truancy sweeps, and participation in
community events (school football games, County Corn Fest, County Fair, County Safety Fest, etc).
Intensive supervision has resulted in an increase in technical violations of probation (truancy, school
suspensions, drug abuse, defiance of parental authority), but a decrease in law violations. The more
2
intensive supervision results in a dramatic increase in services directed towards the delinquent minor at an
earlier level than general supervision. Consequences include Home Supervision/Electronic Monitoring,
Community Services/Work Details, counseling from the community-based organization, out-of-home
placement, commitment to the County Boys' Ranch and commitment to the California Youth Authority.
The consequences are meant to re-enforce the family structure (when possible) in the community while
addressing the client's counseling needs. Out-of-home placement, commitment to the Boys' Ranch or
commitments to the California Youth Authority are used as"last resort" solutions.
The Community Probation Program received recognition for Outstanding Community Service from
Congressman George Miller as part of the Community Probation Program in the Juvenile Division.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Probation Program through Mark Morris Associates, a
pre-post test approach is used. With their pre-post test component they asked deputy probation officers to
gather data on clients at intake and at program exit. They sought to compare the behavior of individual
clients during the period six months prior to program entry and six months after program entry. Aside
from demographic and risk data, they gathered information on school achievement and behavior,
delinquency behavior, and service delivery. They then compared behavior between the two periods.
Programmatically they expected clients to exhibit behavior while in the program than in the period before
program entry. This notion, rooted in the interest determining if clients responded to intensive probation
supervision within the context of their communities, resulted in more positive attachment to community
and interest in school and less involvement in delinquent behavior for the clients.
Intake/assessment evaluation of the Community Probation Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 414 clients who are intensively supervised within
the community. The current preliminary data reveals that clients in the Community Probation Program
possess the following characteristics:
• Most of the clients are male (83 percent).
• While no single ethnic group forms a majority, European Americans make up 42 percent of the
caseload, Latinos 24 percent, African Americans 20 percent, Asian American 9 percent, Pacific
Islander 1 percent, Filipino 1 percent, and"other" 3 percent.
• Forty-seven percent of the clients come from single parent homes.
• Fourteen percent of the clients live in households with family members involved in the criminal
justice system.
The following are results for 281 clients after a six-month program enrollment. The school and
delinquency outcome data show evidence of program effectiveness.
• Twenty-eight percent were enrolled in continuation schools, 19 percent were enrolled in
comprehensive schools, 12 percent were enrolled in community day schools, 9 percent had
graduated from high school, 8 percent were enrolled in alternative education, 9 earned a GED, or
passed a high school equivalency examination, 5 percent were in independent study, 1p ercent
each were in court school and private school, while 11 percent were not enrolled, but should have
been.
• Sixty-three percent had earned the normal and expected number of academic units during the
intervention period.
• Thirty-four percent of the clients had a school attendance problem and 30 percent were habitual
truants.
3
• Fourteen percent were placed or continued on probation for an offense committed during the
intervention period.
• Forty-four percent of the clients were arrested during the intervention program.
• Five percent of the most serious arrests were for misdemeanor offenses, 7 percent were for felony
offenses, and 1 percent was for incorrigibility (66 percent did not apply). Of these arrests 22
percent were for VOP, 3 percent were for all other misdemeanors, 4 percent for property offenses,
2 percent for violent offenses, 2 percent for drug offenses, and 1 percent for all other felonies (66
percent did not apply).
• Forty-one percent had no obligation to complete court-ordered work programs during the
intervention. Of all the clients who exited the intervention, 43 percent completed their work
program responsibility while 16 percent did not.
• Seven percent completed their obligation while 93 percent did not. Six percent were ordered to
pay restitution to a victim for an offense committed during the intervention.
Concerning mental health characteristics, the following was found:
• Thirty-one percent who have completed the intervention have a drug problem, and 15 percent have
an alcohol problem.
Participants benefited from a wide array of services. The table below illustrates the proportion of clients
who received specific services during the intervention period.

• A 67 percent decrease was observed in client alcohol problems during the intervention period.
• A 40 percent decrease was observed in school attendance problems during the intervention period.
• A 44 percent decrease was observed in habitual truancy during the intervention period.

units two quarters before program entry, did earn the normal and expected number of units during
the intervention period.
ORIN ALLEN YOUTH REHABILITATION FACILITY(OAYRF): RANCH AFTERCARE
The Ranch Aftercare Program is set up such that there were six deputy probation officers working with
clients while committed to OAYRF and in the field during their parole period. The deputy probation
officers are assigned clients and must make their first contact with them within seven days of entry into
the Ranch. During the commitment period, the deputy probation officers meet their clients to become
acquainted with them and to ensure they comply with their court orders (this includes, but is not limited
to, making sure the clients remain free of drugs and make sure the clients attend the appropriate classes
such as drug/alcohol and anger management).
When the juveniles complete their commitments they begin a parole period. The parole period consists of
90 days of intense supervision by a team of two deputy probation officers. The six Ranch Aftercare
deputy probation officers are split into three teams of two, each covering one of the three geographic
regions of Contra Costa County (West, East, Central). A client is assigned to a deputy probation officer
based on his location in the county. Once the parole period starts the deputy probation officers are
required to meet with their clients a minimum of one time a week. The deputy probation officers visit the
clients at their homes, schools and in the community. During these visits, the deputy probation officers
are responsible for upholding the court ordered components of a client's parole period. For example, if
the ward has an anger management court order, the deputy probation officer is responsible for ensuring
that the client participates in the appropriate classes. The deputy probation officers also test the wards for
drugs regularly as drug use is a violation of the conditions of parole.
Aside from visiting the clients and checking to see if they are adhering to their court orders, deputy
probation officers also make referrals to various agencies for clients. These referrals include, but are not
limited to, REACH, anger management, Narcotics Anonymous, and the like. There is also a good deal of
collaboration between the deputy probation officers and outside agencies (police, school, etc...) and the
clients' support units (families, relatives). The deputy probation officers use these as resources.
For a client to successfully complete the parole period, he must complete the court assigned conditions
during the parole period. If the youth recidivates he may not complete the parole period. This is
dependant on the severity and/or frequency of the parole violation.
Aside from the common bond of being "high risk," the clients served in the Ranch Aftercare Program are
a diverse population from areas throughout the county. There are clients from low to high socioeconomic
backgrounds, clients of various religious beliefs and clients of diverse ethnicities. Clients come from
households with both parents present, single parent households, foster homes, households of relatives and
friends, and other living situations. Though the number is small, there is a small sample of the population
who are fathers. Other characteristics of the clients involved in the Aftercare Program are that some of
the clients are employed during the parole period, clients are enrolled in various types of schools, clients
5
who should be enrolled in alternative education programs, and clients who have drug and alcohol issues
among other things.
"The overall aim of intensive aftercare is to transition and reintegrate identified `high risk' juvenile
offenders from secure confinement gradually back into the community and thereby to lower the high rate
of failure and relapse." (Altschuler, 199?) To accomplish this, the Aftercare model draws attention to five
programmatic principles which establish the fundamental goals of the intensive aftercare program. These
principles are:
1) Preparing youth for progressively increased responsibility and freedom in the community;
2) Facilitating youth-community interaction and involvement;
3) Working with both the offender and targeted community support systems (e.g. families, peers,
schools, employers) on qualities needed for constructive interaction and the youths' successful
community adjustment;
4) Developing new resources and supports where needed; and
5) Monitoring and testing the youths and the community on their ability to deal with each other
productively.
The goals of the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility's (OAYRF) Aftercare Program are essentially
identical to the goals prescribed to intensive aftercare programs by Altschuler and Armstrong. As stated
by Irene Bergamini, Assistant Superintendent of OAYRF, "[t]he overall goal of the Aftercare Program is
to provide a smooth transition from the Ranch commitment to home and school." In keeping with
OAYRF's Aftercare goals, the aim of the Aftercare deputy probation officer is to ensure that their clients
adhere to court orders (regular school attendance, attending drug and/or alcohol classes, remaining drug
free, obeying parents, etc...) and to lower the rate of recidivism.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Ranch Aftercare Program through Mark Morris Associates, two
complementary research designs were used. The first is a pre-post test approach; the second involves a
historical comparison group. With their pre-post test component, they asked deputy probation officers to
gather data on clients at intake and exit. They sought to compare the behavior of individual clients during
the periods six months prior to detention at the Ranch and six months after program entry. Aside from
demographic and risk data, they gathered information on school achievement and behavior, delinquency
behavior, and service delivery. They then compared behavior between the two periods.
Programmatically, they expected clients to exhibit better behavior while in the program than in the period
before program entry. This notion was rooted in the interest of determining if clients responded to
intensive probation supervision within their school community with stronger attachment and interest in
school and less involvement in delinquent behavior.
With their use of a historical comparison group, they sought to compare the youth to comparable youth
who did not experience intensive probation supervision. This approach facilitated greater confidence
regarding the effectiveness of programs. Where they can demonstrate comparable youth have different
outcomes than youth who were enrolled in the program, they assert with more confidence that changes in
behavior are the result of the intervention and not random chance. As in the case of the pre-post test
approach, they used the same data gathered by deputy probation officers at intake and exit. They
compared these data with data gathered by other deputy probation officers during the earlier SafeFutures
Grant program in Contra Costa County. That program involved parolees who left the Ranch and where
supervised in the community in the period before JJCPA.

Intake/assessment evaluation of the OAYRF Aftercare Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 186 clients who are intensively supervised within
the community. The current preliminary data reveals that clients in the Aftercare Program possess the
following characteristics:
• All are male.
• Almost half(46 percent) of the boys are African American, 25 percent are Latinos, 17 percent are
White, 5 percent are Asian American, and 2 percent are"other", and 5 percent are unidentified.
• When released from OAYRF, over half of the boys (54 percent) will live with their mother, 17
percent with their father, 10 percent with relatives, 16 percent with two parents, 1 percent with
"other", and 1 percent each with a foster parent and with a friend.
• Thirteen of the 186 clients (7 percent) are fathers.
The ongoing evaluation of the OAYRF Aftercare Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention
Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 83 clients who are finished with the Aftercare Program. The
preliminary data revealed the following about the clients:
• Regarding the intervention, 30 percent of the clients failed to complete due to inadequate
performance while 65 percent completed the requirements. Five percent dropped out. In 58
percent of the clients, the primary reason for program separation was successful completion of the
program. Eleven percent failed to participate as required in the treatment plan, 11 percent
probation violations were the primary cause for "unsuccessful" performance, 8 percent moved
from the service area, and the remaining 6 percent commissions of a new law violation was the
cause for separation.
• Twenty-eight percent of the clients had a drug problem after completion of the program while 61
percent did not (eleven percent unknown). Twenty-two percent of the clients had an alcohol
problem after completion while 65 percent did not (thirteen percent is unknown).
• Nineteen percent of the clients were enrolled in community day school while 24 percent were
enrolled in a comprehensive school. Two percent were enrolled in court schools, fourteen percent
were enrolled in continuation schools, 17 percent were not enrolled but should be, 10 percent were
"not applicable," 6 percent were alternative education, and 1 percent were in independent study.
• Fifty-five percent of the clients did not have an attendance problem while 24 percent did (5
percent is unknown). An attendance problem was not applicable for 21 percent of the clients.
Twenty-three percent of the clients were habitual truants while 57 percent were not. In 21 percent,
habitual truancy was not applicable.
• Twenty-nine percent of the clients were 11 th graders, 13 percent completed were high school
graduates, 15 percent were 12th graders, 29 percent were 10th th graders, 9 percent were 9 graders, 4
percent were 8th graders, and 1 percent were 7th graders.
• Fifty-four percent of the clients had earned the normal number of units while 46 percent had not.
• Twelve students were suspended(15 percent), and one student (5 percent)was expelled.
Participants benefited from a wide array of services. The table below illustrates the proportion of clients
who received specific services during the intervention period.

From intake to exit, Mark Morris Associates observed the following changes in behavior in the treatment
group:
• The rate of arrests per 100 days decreased during the intervention period.
• The rate of sustained petitions per 100 days decreased during the intervention period.
• A 54 percent decrease in habitual truancy was observed during the intervention period.
• A 52 percent decrease in school attendance was observed during the intervention period.
• A 55 percent decrease was observed in clients with a drug problem during the intervention period.
• A 58 percent decrease was observed in clients with an alcohol problem during the intervention
period.
During the intervention period, none of the clients were placed outside their homes or received
institutional commitments. Also, none of the clients had community service obligations or work
programs, none were referred to Child Protective Services, and none received sexual abuse counseling,
emancipation skills training or individualized treatment plans.
In comparing the Historical Comparison Group's delinquency outcomes with the delinquency outcomes
of the current OAYRF treatment group, they observed that the treatment group's delinquency rates
decreased at a higher rate than those of the historical comparison group.
Arrest rates
• Prior to program entry, 60 percent of the treatment clients had an arrest for a felony offense while
only 7 percent had a felony arrest during the intervention period. Prior to program entry, 49
percent of the historical comparison clients had an arrest for felony offenses while 6 percent had a
felony arrest during program intervention.
• Prior to program entry, 24 percent of the treatment clients had an arrest for a misdemeanor offense
while only 2 percent had a misdemeanor offense during the intervention. Prior to program entry,
17 percent of the historical comparison clients had an arrest for a misdemeanor offense while 5
percent had an arrest for a misdemeanor offense.
8
Sustained petition rates
• Prior to program entry, 52 percent of the treatment clients had a sustained petition for a felony
offense while only 4 percent had a sustained petition for a felony offense during the intervention
period. Prior to the program entry, 40 percent of the historical comparison group had a sustained
petition for a felony offense while 7 percent had a sustained petition for a felony offense during
the intervention period.
• Prior to program entry, 25 percent of the treatment clients had a sustained petition for a
misdemeanor offense while only 1 percent had a sustained petition for a misdemeanor offense
during the intervention period. Prior to program entry, 23 percent of the historical comparison
group had a sustained petition for a misdemeanor offense while 4 percent had a sustained petition
for a misdemeanor offense.
These data suggest that the current cohort of youth supervised by the Ranch Aftercare Program during the
JJCPA Era are experiencing greater success than a similar and previous cohort or youth supervised during
the SafeFutures Era.
SCHOOL-BASED DEPUTY PROBATION OFFICER PROGRAM:
MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM
The Middle School Probation Program includes eight deputy probation officers across two units. These
deputies provide intensive supervision services to students in ten comprehensive middle schools across
the West, Central and East regions of the county. Each deputy probation officer is assigned one or more
middle schools where s/he has an office and meets with clients at the school.
The primary goals of the JJCPA Middle School Probation Program are to reduce the rate of recidivism, to
reduce the rate of delinquent offenses committed by juveniles, to improve the rate of completion of
probation, to improve the clients' school attendance and performance, and to enhance the overall safety of
the school.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Middle School Probation Program through Mark Morris Associates, a
pre-post test approach was used. With their pre-post test component,they asked deputy probation officers
to gather data on clients at intake and at exit. They sought to compare the behavior of individual clients
during the periods six months prior to program entry and six months after program entry. Aside from
demographic and risk data, they gathered information on school achievement and behavior, delinquency
behavior, and service delivery. They then compared behavior between the two periods.
Programmatically, they expected clients to exhibit better behavior while in the program than in the period
before program entry. This evaluation focuses on determining if clients responded to intensive probation
supervision located within their schools of attendance with stronger attachment and interest in school and
less involvement in delinquent behavior.
Intake/assessment evaluation of the Middle School Probation Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 771 clients who are intensively supervised within
an academic setting. The current preliminary data reveals that clients in the Middle School Probation
Program possess the following characteristics:
9
s
• They are mostly male (64 percent).
• While no single ethnic group forms a majority, African Americans make up 42 percent of the
caseload, Latinos 28 percent, European Americans 24 percent, Asian Americans 5 percent, 1
percent Native American, and 1 percent other.
• Less than half of the clients (47 percent) came from single parent households.
• Thirteen percent live in households with family members involved in the criminal justice system.
Data on the clients' academic backgrounds (attendance, achievement and citizenship)reveal the following
attributes:
• Forty-nine percent were seventh graders, 36 percent were sixth graders, 14 percent were fifth
graders, and 1 percent were eighth graders.
• Nearly one-third (29 percent) of the clients had not earned the normal and expected number of
academic units in the two quarters before program entry.
• Forty-one percent had school attendance problems and 22 percent were habitual truants as defined
by the California Department of Education.
Mark Morris Associates reported the following results for 593 clients after a six-month program
enrollment:
• Fifteen percent of the clients failed to complete the program and 14 percent dropped out of the
program "through no fault of own" while 71 percent completed the requirements of the program.
The primary reason for program separation was successful completion of program requirements
(71 percent).
• Six percent of the clients had a drug problem at the end of the intervention while 84 percent did
not (11 percent was unknown). Four percent of the clients had an alcohol problem at the end of
the intervention while 84 percent did not (11 percent was unknown).
The following data show selected academic characteristics of the clients:
• At the end of the intervention, 92 percent of the clients were enrolled in a comprehensive school, 1
percent were enrolled in continuation schools, 1 percent were enrolled in community day, 2
percent were enrolled in alternative education, and 1 percent were enrolled in court school.
Private school and home study accounted for 1 percent, and 3 percent were not enrolled.
• Thirty-seven percent of the clients had an attendance problem at the end of the intervention while
61 percent did not (2 percent did not apply). Twenty-three percent of the clients were habitual
truants at the end of the intervention while 77 percent were not.
• During the intervention period, 65 percent of the clients earned the normal and expected number
of academic units while 35 percent did not.
• Sixty-two percent of the clients had a suspension(s) during the intervention while 38 percent did
not. Six percent were expelled during the intervention while 94 percent were not.

The School Based Deputy Probation Officer Program received a Certificate of Achievement in
Recognition of Outstanding Community Service from Congressman George Miller. The Program also
received Certificates of Recognition from Assemblyman Joseph Canciamilla and Gy Houston. This
Program was the 2002 Recipient of the Juvenile Justice Award from the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Commission.
SCHOOL-BASED DEPUTY PROBATION OFFICER PROGRAM:
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
The High School Program includes ten deputy probation officers across two units. These deputy
probation officers provide intensive supervision services to students in ten comprehensive high schools
across the West, Central, and East regions of the county. Each deputy probation officer is assigned to a
high school where s/he has an office, meets with clients at the school, and provides support to school staff
members.
11
The primary goals of the JJCPA High School Probation Program are to reduce the rate of recidivism, to
reduce the rate of delinquent offenses committed by juveniles, to improve the rate of completion of
probation, to improve the clients' school attendance and performance and to enhance the overall safety of
the school.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the High School Program through Mark Morris Associates, two
complementary research designs were used. The first is a pre-post test approach; the second involves a
historical comparison group. With their pre-post test component they asked deputy probation officers to
gather data on clients at intake and at exit. They sought to compare the behavior of individual clients
during the periods six months prior to program entry and six months after program entry. Aside from
demographic and risk data, they gathered information on school achievement and behavior, delinquency
behavior, and service delivery. They then compared behavior between the two periods.
Programmatically they expected clients to exhibit better behavior while in the program than in the period
before program entry. This notion was rooted in the interest of determining if clients responded to
intensive probation supervision within their school community with stronger attachment and interest in
school and less involvement in delinquent behavior.
The historical comparison group facilitates a comparison to comparable youth who did not experience
intensive probation supervision. This approach facilitates greater confidence regarding the effectiveness
of the program. Where they can demonstrate comparable youth have different outcomes than youth who
were enrolled in the program, they can assert with more confidence that changes in behavior are the result
of the intervention and not random chance. As in the case of the pre-post test approach, they used the
same data gathered by deputy probation officers at intake and exit. They compared these data with data
gathered by other deputy probation officers during the earlier Challenge Grant I program in Contra Costa
County. That program involved probationers and at-risk youth attending local area high schools during
the period before JJCPA.
Intake/assessment evaluation of the High School Probation Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 284 clients who are intensively supervised within
an academic setting. The current preliminary data reveals that clients in the High School Probation
program possess the following characteristics:
• Seventy-eight percent of the clients are male while 22 percent were female.
• The average age at intake was 16 years old.
• No ethnic group comprised a majority of clients, however, 41 percent were European American,
28 percent were African American, 21 percent were Latino, 4 percent were Asian American, 2
percent were Native American and 3 percent were other.
• A majority of clients (77 percent) reported their mothers as primary caregivers with fathers
represented as secondary caregivers by 15 percent.
• Forty-two percent of clients were from single-parent households.
Mark Morris Associates reported the following results for 227 clients after a six-month program
enrollment. The exit data show the following.
• Nine percent of the clients failed to complete the program and 12 percent dropped out of the
program"through no fault of own"while 80 percent completed the requirements of the program.
12
The primary reason for program separation was successful completion of program

VOLUNTEERS IN PROBATION MLP.)
Volunteers in Probation (VIP) is a mentoring program that matches community members with youth
involved in the juvenile justice program. Possible VIP mentors and mentees must both submit to an
application to the VIP program director and undergo a screening process conducted by the VIP Program
Director.
Prospective mentees must submit a written request for a mentor to the program director. This request
form includes information such as likes, dislikes, hobbies and other personal information. Most of the
mentee requests come from youth in the Summit Center, the Chris Adam's Girls Center or from the
youths' deputy probation officers. Once a request is received, the director speaks to the youth's deputy
probation officer and then compiles an information packet for a perspective mentor.
Mentor candidates must apply to the program. Once a perspective mentor has applied, s/he meets with
the program director at which point they are explained the goals of the program, the type of youth the
program serves and the level of involvement expected. Perspective mentors must pass a background
check, which includes a DMV and fingerprint background check. Mentors are also required to sign a
confidentiality contract. If a perspective mentor is eligible, a second meeting is held with the program
director at which the mentors select a mentee based on the compiled information packets.
The mentor/mentee pairs are expected to meet weekly, generally once a week, for a few hours. Activities
VIP mentors/mentees participate in, but are not limited to, going to movies, attending sporting events,
going shopping or to concerts. Periodically the VIP program director arranges voluntary group outings.
Past outings have included trips to Six Flags Marine World and whale watching in the San Francisco Bay.
The mentors are expected to keep track of the time they spend with their mentees and provide this
information to the VIP director in the form of a contact log.
The goal of the Volunteers in Probation program is to provide positive adult role models to youth on
probation. By providing mentors for probation-assigned youth, VIP program staff hope to improve
mentees' self-esteem and academic performances while reducing delinquency.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Volunteers in Probation through Mark Morris Associates, a pre-post
test approach was used. They asked program staff to gather data on clients at intake and at exit. They
sought to compare the behavior of these individuals during the periods six months prior to program entry
and six months after program entry. Aside from demographic and risk data, they gathered information on
14
school achievement and behavior, delinquency behavior, and service delivery. They then compared
behavior between the two periods. Programmatically they expected clients to exhibit better behavior
during the program when they were linked with an adult mentor than in the period before program entry.
This notion was rooted in the interest of determining if clients responded to interaction with caring adults.
Intake/assessment evaluation of the Volunteers in Probation under the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention
Allocation in Contra Costa County includes six clients who are intensively supervised within the
community. The interim data for the first two years of the program revealed that clients in the VIP
program possess the following characteristics:
• Twenty-eight percent(9) of the clients were male while 72 percent(23)were female.
• Sixty-three percent (20) of the clients were European American, 9 percent (3) were Latino and 22
percent (7) are African American.
• Thirty-one percent of the clients were living with their mother prior to program entry, 6 percent
were staying with their father, and 6 percent were staying with a relative. Fifty percent of the
clients noted staying with"other"prior to program entry.
• One client was pregnant at program entry while two were teen parents.
Data regarding academic characteristics of clients showed the following:
• Most clients had completed middle school (77 percent), while 6 percent completed elementary
school, and 13 percent completed high school.
• Forty-six percent of clients were enrolled in community day school (13 percent), continuation
school (9 percent), alternative education school (6 percent), and independent study (3 percent).
Three percent of clients were not applicable, and 19 percent of clients had missing enrollment
data.
• Fifty percent of clients had school attendance problems prior to program entry while 31 percent
did not. School attendance problem data was missing on 19 percent of clients.
• Twenty-two percent of clients were habitual truants before the intervention period while 60
percent were not. Habitual truant data was missing on 19 percent of clients.
• Fifty-six percent of clients did not near the normal expected number of academic units in the two
school quarters prior to program entry while 25 percent did. Data was missing on 19 percent of
clients for this data set.
Participants benefited from a wide array of services. The table below illustrates the proportion of clients
who received the specific services during the intervention period.

Mark Morris Associates reported results for 27 clients after a six-month program enrollment. The exit
data showed the following:
• Six months prior to program entry, an average of one arrest was recorded of the client, while
during intervention there was a statistically significant reduction in arrest rate.
• Data showed the number of sustained petitions issued to clients was a rare event during the six
months prior to program entry and during the intervention period.
• Expulsion of clients six months prior to the intervention was a rare occurrence as well as during
the intervention period.
• The number of suspensions issued to clients six months prior to intervention was a rare occurrence
as well as during the intervention period. There was a slight decrease of suspensions during the
intervention period.
SUMMIT CENTER
The Summit Center program is collaboration between the County Office of Education, Contra Costa
County Probation Department and the Children's Department of Mental Health. Each of these
components works together to achieve the common goals of the Summit Center. As such, the roles of
these components often overlap,however some specifics can be identified.
The Summit Center school is a Juvenile Court School within the Contra Costa County Office of
Education. Residents must attend a minimum of three hours of school each day. Summit Center staff
worked with the County's Director of Alternative Education to develop appropriate educational programs
for the residents. In addition to teachers, a speech and language instructor as well as volunteers are
available to aid the residents' academic needs. A client may not graduate from the Summit Center unless
he fulfills his academic requirements. As a result, most clients' academic performances improve while at
Summit.
The probation team at the Summit Center provides intensive probation supervision to Summit clients.
The goals of the probation component are to not only control clients' behaviors while at Summit, but also
to maintain safety at the program. All members of the probation staff are also trained for safety and
security of both staff and clients.
The mental health team at the Summit Center works individually with clients as well as their families to
address the mental health needs of the clients and facilitate a positive change in clients. A large portion of
the mental health component involves counseling, both group and individual, as well as a victim empathy
group. All clients must complete a victim empathy profile before graduating.
A client is deemed to have completed requirements of the Summit program when all of the above-
mentioned program goals have been met. As of April 2002, 154 young men have been through the
Summit Center program. Seventy-one clients had successfully graduated the program, 59 did not meet
the graduation requirements, and the remaining 24 were still residents at the time of this report.
The Wraparound portion of the Summit Center program begins early in the clients' treatment and
continues throughout his time at Summit as well as for a period after he is discharged. The concept of
wraparound is to gather family members and close community members (such as religious leaders,
16
neighbors, etc.) to form a support group for each client The wraparound groups meet about once a month
and are believed by some Summit staff to be key elements in clients' success. The wraparound groups as
well as an Independent Living Skills Program help each client transition back to the community.
Most of the referrals to the Summit Center come from the Juvenile Court. Deputy probation officers in the
Placement Unit also make some referrals. A Placement Screening Committee who then refers appropriate
candidates to the Summit Intake Committee, which is comprised of the Summit Intake Coordinator, then
screens the referrals and a probation officer assigned to Summit. These two individuals then assess the
applicant and his family to determine whether the applicant would be appropriate for the Summit Center.
The overall goal of the Summit Center is for clients to successfully complete the program. There are
several factors that"define" a client's success. These factors include:
• A client's parents/caregivers have successfully completed the Summit Center's "Parent Project99 (a
training program for parents of delinquent youth).
• A client has a successful wraparound group.
• The client has completed his victim empathy requirements.
• The client has maintained his academic work.
• The client's behavior reflects a positive change.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Summit Center through Mark Mom's Associates,, a pre-post test
approach was used. They asked program staff to gather data on clients at intake and at exit. They sought
to compare the behavior of these individuals during the periods six months prior to program entry and six
months after program entry. Aside from demographic and risk data they gathered information on school
achievement and behavior, delinquency behavior, and service delivery. They then compared behavior
between the two periods. Programmatically they expected clients to exhibit better behavior after exiting
the program than in the period before program entry. This notion was rooted in the interest of
determining if clients responded to intensive mental health treatment.
Intake/Assessment evaluation of the Summit Center Program under the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention
Allocation in Contra Costa County includes 40 clients who are intensively supervised within the
community. The current preliminary data reveals that clients in the Summit Center program possess the
following characteristics:
• All are male.
• Forty-three percent of the clients are African American, 35 percent are White, 15 percent are
Latino, 5 percent are Asian American, and 2 percent are Pacific Islanders.
Participants benefited from a wide array of services. The table below illustrates the proportion of clients
who received specific services during the intervention period:

From intake to program exit, Mark Morris Associates observed the following changes in behavior in the
treatment group:
• The rate of arrests per 100 days decreased during the intervention period from 1.3675 arrests to
.4274 arrests.
• The rate of sustained petitions per 100 days decreased during the intervention period from 1.3636
arrests to .2020 arrests.
• A decrease was observed in clients with a drug problem during the intervention. Prior to program
entry 11 clients had a drug problem, and after the intervention period, 2 clients had a drug
problem.
• A decrease was observed in clients with an alcohol problem during the intervention. Prior to
program entry 9 clients had an alcohol problem, and after the intervention period, 3 clients had an
alcohol problem.
While no decrease was observed in the clients' habitual truancy or school attendance, no increases were
observed either.
FAMILY INTERVENTION PROGRAM
The Family Intervention Unit includes one probation supervisor and five deputy probation officers. This
unit provided services to clients in East, Central and West Contra Costa County. Each caseload is capped
at 25 clients,, including the client's partner and children.
"Wraparound" services are offered through the Family Intervention Program with services that are client
and family oriented. These services focus on ensuring client compliance with court orders and probation
agreements (such as supervision/restriction stipulation and case plan for rehabilitative services). Family
oriented services involve deputy probation officers working with the counselors and advocacy groups to
support and develop a healthy family functioning to aid in the reduction of out-of-home placements for
children.
The main goal of the Family Intervention Program is to "...provide supervision and intervention services
for those families with children in the home where an adult is on probation for a substance abuse related
offense." (Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan, p.104) Program administrators argued
that such homes resulted in the children being at higher risk of out-of-home placement and elevated
delinquency rates. Because clients' children are in households with caregivers who are involved in the
justice system as a result of substance abuse, Family Intervention Program deputy probation officers work
focuses on linking families to available resources.
18
Family Intervention Program deputy probation officers work with families who are faced with many
challenges. Data from the first two fiscal years reveal that deputy probation officers serviced 142 families
who were involved with the justice system because of substance abuse. Most of these families display
"non-traditional"behaviors and family structures. The terms traditional or primary are often absent in the
typical Family Intervention Program caseload. Often the children do not live with their biological
parents, siblings often have different mothers or fathers and children commonly reside with relatives.
Additionally, clients and their families often hail from low-income communities and have limited
educational backgrounds. Many have lost a lot of time and support due to their substance abuse, domestic
abuse or incarceration. Deputy probation officers work with their clients to deal with the stress of
rehabilitation and reunification within their communities and families. Due to the complexity of their
caseloads, Family Intervention Program deputy probation officers consume much of their time working
with clients while also juggling their client's family's welfare and emotional stability, social workers,
courts, and allocating resources in their daily tasks.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Intervention Program through Mark Morris Associates, a pre-
post test approach was used. They asked deputy probation officers to gather data on adult probation
clients, their partners, and their children at program intake and exit. They sought to compare the behavior
of these individuals during the periods six months prior to program entry and six months after program
entry. Aside from demographic and risk data, they gathered information, when applicable, on school
achievement and behavior, delinquency, and service delivery. They then compared behavior between the
two periods. Programmatically they expected clients to exhibit better behavior while in the program than
in the period before program entry. This notion was rooted in the interest of determining if clients
responded to intensive probation supervision within the context of their communities by avoiding court
sanctions and increasing sobriety. Among the children, where appropriate, they sought to determine
which of the Unit's interventions resulted in better personal and academic outcomes including attachment
and interest in school and less involvement in delinquent behavior.
The following data reveals the 142 adult probation clients in the Family Intervention Program had the
following characteristics when they entered the program.
• Eighty-eight clients (62 percent) are male and fifty-four(38 percent) are female.
• Almost half(48 percent) of the clients are White, 27 percent are Latino, 14 percent are African
American, 2 percent as Asian American, 1 percent are Filipino, 1 percent are Pacific Islanders, 1
percent are American Indian, and 4 percent claimed other.
• Over half(54 percent) of the clients have had"some high school", 20 percent have graduated from
high school, 15 percent have had "some college", 3 percent are college graduates, 1 percent have
"some post-graduate training", 2 percent have a graduate or professional degree, and 6 percent of
the clients have"less than high school".
• Four percent of the clients are gang members, 92 percent are not gang members, and gang
membership is unknown in 4 percent of the clients.
• Fifty-one percent of the clients were not abused as children, 23 percent of the clients were abused,
and history of abuse is unknown in 26 percent of the clients.
• Seventy-eight percent of the clients do not have a current CPS case while 20 percent have an
active CPS case, and 1 percent is unknown.
• Eighty-one percent of the clients do not have a past CPS case while 17 percent have had a past
CPS case, and 2 percent is unknown.
19
The following data reveals that the 342 children of the Family Intervention Program clients possess the
following characteristics:
• Fifty-four percent of the children are male and 46 percent are female.
• Thirty-seven percent of the children are White, 34 percent are Latino, 40 percent are African
American, 3 percent are Asian American, 3 percent are Filipino, 1 percent are Pacific Islanders, 3
percent are Native American, and 4 percent are other.
• The average age of the children was 8 years old.
Presently, Mark Morris Associates has outcome data on eighty-nine primary adult clients. Of the forty-
two clients with felony convictions during the six months before intervention., 81 percent (34) had no
convictions during the intervention period while 10 percent (4) had misdemeanor convictions and 10
percent (4) had felony convictions. Of the forty-five clients with a misdemeanor conviction six months
before program entry, 91 percent (41) did not have a conviction during the intervention period; 9 percent
(4) had a misdemeanor conviction. Sixty percent (53) of the clients did not have a drug problem at
program exit while 34 percent (30) did. Only 9 percent (8) of the clients had an alcohol problem at the
end of the intervention period and 71 percent (64) did not, and 19 percent (17) an alcohol problem is
unknown.
The Contra Costa County Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council proposed that the Family Intervention
Program be eliminated due to the unavailability of funds under JJCPA to address an increase in
employees benefit costs. Therefore, as of June 30, 2003, the Family Intervention Program was
eliminated.
FEE FOR SERVICE FUNDING
Fee for service finding has been established as an alternative to the Department entering into contractual
arrangements with a limited number of community-based organizations. Under this service program, the
Department may purchase services on an as needed basis, rather than entering into blanket contracts with
various non-profit entities. The goal has been and continues to be to purchase services on demand that
gives the Department the greatest flexibility in effectively addressing the needs of the client on an
individualized basis.
CONCLUSION
Contra Costa County Probation Department continues to provide much needed services through its JJCPA
programs that target at-risk youth and juvenile offenders and promote prevention and intervention
services. The JJCPA allocation represents an enormous boost to our efforts to combat juvenile crime and
establish collaborative partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, community-based organizations,
and various school districts countywide. Our programs have enabled the Department to implement a
juvenile justice action strategy that provides for a continuum of responses to juvenile crime, and
delinquency and demonstrates a collaborative and integrated approach for implementing a system of
swift, certain, and graduated responses for at-risk youth and juvenile offenders.
Our third report has yielded positive data that indicates our strategies to address at-risk youth and juvenile
delinquency have put us on the right course toward reducing delinquency behavior throughout the county.
20
Although the quantitative evidence presents positive results as encouraging indicators, this is not a
panacea to eliminate juvenile crime. We are a long way from achieving that goal, but the report is an
encouraging document that points us in the right direction. Our JJCPA programs are off to a very good
start with encouraging results for our participants and stakeholders. To highlight some of our
achievements, it is noted that the Community Programs division was the recipient of a Certificate of
Achievement in Recognition of Outstanding Community Service by Congressman George Miller and
Assemblyman Gy Houston. Moreover, the School-Based Deputy Probation Officer's Program was the
recipient of the Juvenile Justice Award for Outstanding Service-Contribution by a School Delinquency
Prevention Program by the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Council. The School-Based Deputy
Probation Officer's Program also received additional recognition from Assemblymen Joseph Canciamilla,
Gy Houston and Congressman George Miller. These achievements are indicators that the community has
recognized the quality of work our programs have achieved. With continued State and County investment
in our JJCPA programs, our strategies aimed at reducing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth
should yield significant returns well into the future.
Attached to this document is the Third Annual October 15, 2003 report to the Board of Corrections on
data collection for all programs and fiscal expenditures.
