In the morning, CCAP staff will offer a presentation on the Unified Case Management System that has been developed in county pilot sites for Adult Prisons, Adult Probation and the District Attorney's Offices and will demonstrate the potential applicability to juvenile detention.
In an effort to work collaboratively with the Department of Public Welfare and the juvenile justice system as a whole, we have opened up portions of our Dec Board meeting to other Juvenile Justice Stakeholders. Representatives from the Department of Public will provide an update on SORNA expectations for juvenile justice providers following lunch.

Research, Resources Available on Youth Mentoring in Juvenile Justice Settings
Free, online research and resources are now available from the OJJDP-funded study, "Researching the Referral Stage of Youth Mentoring in Six Juvenile Justice Settings: An Exploratory Analysis."
The study, conducted by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, Global Youth Justice, and the National Partnership for Juvenile Services in collaboration with criminal justice researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio, examined best practices for the referral stage of high-risk youth to mentoring from six juvenile justice settings: detention, corrections, probation, and delinquency, teen/youth, and dependency courts.
OJJDP Releases Updated DMC Fact Sheet
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published an update to the In Focus fact sheet, "Disproportionate Minority Contact." This fact sheet provides an overview of OJJDP's efforts to reduce disproportionate minority contact (DMC) in juvenile justice systems, summarizes states' DMC-reduction activities as of fiscal year 2011, and includes a description of OJJDP's five-phase DMC Reduction Model, which helps states determine whether disproportionality exists within their jurisdictions, and if it does, provides a step-by-step guide for their reduction efforts.
Information Sharing Certificate Program Application Now Available
The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute, in partnership with the Juvenile Law Center, is accepting applications for its Information Sharing Certificate Program , to be held March 17-20, 2013, in Washington, DC.
This program, supported with funding from the MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change initiative, is designed to assist leaders in the juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, education, and other child-serving fields in overcoming the challenges of information sharing so that youth are better served across multiple systems of care. The program provides a venue through which leaders can increase their knowledge about information sharing, develop action plans (Capstone Projects) for reform, and receive technical assistance to break through barriers they encounter when implementing the reforms.

This program is designed as a complement to CJJR's other certificate programs.
