Offenders don't stay
in one place.
Why should their cases?
6. Providing funding
for technology, equipment, and training to assist prosecutors in
identifying and expediting the prosecution of violent juvenile
offenders:
A full featured case management,
detention population management application provides more information
to prosecutors to make better decisions concerning the prosecution of
violent juvenile offenders. With an integrated case management
information system, prosecutors have access to information tracked by
probation departments and detention centers concerning criminal history
of each offender, programs participated in, the types of custody
arrangements previously tried with each offender, and in general their
compliance with court ordered probation conditions.
Communication between the entities that work with juvenile offenders
can be further enhanced through the use of automated email notification
based upon specified events. A sophisticated integrated information
management system should provide the ability to set events such as the
issuance of warrants for detention on juvenile offenders. Such an event
would subsequently trigger an automatic email to local law enforcement
officers or school resource officers. The sooner notified, the sooner
law enforcement can take action and thereby expediting prosecution of
offenders.
