Introduction and Methodology: The Illinois General Assembly significantly scaled back trial of youth as adults in adult criminal courts in Public Act 99-0258. Effective January 2016, the legislation repeals provisions for the transfer of youth ages 15 and under to adult court. The new law also limits other “automatic transfers” and instead requires court hearings and expands judicial discretion in transfer decisions for 16 and 17 year olds, except for those charged with first degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault or aggravated battery with a firearm.1 The statute also establishes factors a judge may take into consideration when sentencing a person under 18, including maturity, presence of a developmental disability, home environment, trauma, prior criminal activity (if any) and potential for rehabilitation. (Public Act 99-0258; effective January 2016.) In enacting these provisions, the General Assembly relied on a strong and growing body of research and data indicating that processing and punishing youth like adults harms young people and undermines public safety and community well-being. As discussed in the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission’s report Raising the Age of Juvenile Court Jurisdiction2 (2013), the indiscriminate trial of youth as adults fails to take into account developmental factors like impulsivity, vulnerability to peer pressure, attraction to risk-taking and underdeveloped decision-making skills. These well-established developmental traits render adolescents less culpable for their behavior and make them highly responsive to rehabilitative supports and interventions. At the same time, the national research indicates that trial of youth as adults does not effectively deter juvenile crime and may in fact produce higher rates of offending and recidivism. In enacting Public Act 99-0258, the General Assembly has taken steps to more closely align Illinois law with this research and data.

In addition to modifying criteria and processes for transferring youth to adult criminal court, the Act also recognizes the need for current and complete statewide data regarding transfers and related court actions to impose adult sentencing provisions on certain youth. Prior to the legislation, there was no state-wide repository for information regarding the transfer and trial of youth as adults3, the imposition of adult sentences pursuant to “extended juvenile jurisdiction” provisions (EJJ)4 or designation of youth as “habitual”5 or “violent”6 juvenile offenders (HJO or VJO status). Each of these mechanisms can trigger adult approaches to the trial and sentencing of youth. As a result of this data gap, policy makers and practitioners have typically relied on information available from local criminal justice agencies to gauge the scope and impact of transfer and related practices. 7

1 Excluded juvenile jurisdiction or “automatic transfer” provisions allow youth to be tried, convicted and sentenced as

adults based on a charging category, without a court hearing regarding the underlying facts or impact of transfer. 2 http://ijjc.illinois.gov/rta 3 750 ILCS 405/5-130 and 750 ILCS 405/5-805 4 750 ILCS 405/5-810 5 750 ILCS 405/5-815 6 750 ILCS 405/5-820 7 Statewide transfer data will also facilitate Illinois’ compliance with the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act requirement for states to gather and report juvenile justice / criminal justice data at nine key decision points, including trial of youth as adults.

To address this information vacuum, the Act created included a data reporting provision which requires Circuit Court Clerks to track and report information twice annually on the filing and disposition of these proceedings. The Act also required the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission to develop “the standards, confidentiality protocols, format, and data depository” for these reports.8 To fulfill this mandate, the Commission, its staff and research partners at the University of Illinois Center for Prevention Research and Development and Loyola University’s Center for Criminal Justice Research, Policy and Practice developed standardized data collection forms designed for use by Circuit Court Clerks in collecting and reporting this data. The Commission also sought and benefitted greatly from dialogue and collaboration with the Illinois Association of Court Clerks and the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to develop and test data collection forms and mechanisms. In developing these forms and reporting protocols, practitioners recognized that the statute requires collection of information that no single criminal justice stakeholder – prosecutor, defender, probation department or Circuit Court Clerk, for example – has readily available in all cases. Thus, meeting the statutory mandates requires collaboration among justice system stakeholders and development of new methods for gathering case-level data. In light of these factors, the Commission took additional steps during the initial reporting period (Calendar Year 2016) to confirm the accuracy of data reported and to ensure that local stakeholders had adequate opportunities to review the data reported prior to publication.9 This report reflects the data reported by Circuit Court Clerks for Calendar Year 2016 and presents that information in three ways: ● The first section provides aggregated, statewide data on all proceedings to try youth as adults or

apply Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction, Violent Juvenile Offender and / or Habitual Juvenile Offender provisions.

● The second section provides more detailed information on each of these categories (Excluded Jurisdiction proceedings, motions to transfer, motions for Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction proceedings and motions for Violent Juvenile Offender or Habitual Juvenile Offender designations).

● The third section provides county-level information for those counties reporting proceedings in one or more of these categories.

In reviewing this report, stakeholders should note that, while the statute requires reporting of victim and case disposition information, data reporting was not complete or consistent enough during the initial reporting period to include in this report. Information reported on race and ethnicity was also not detailed or consistent, with large numbers of youth categorized as “other race” or “unknown.” Finally, it should be noted that youth may be subject to multiple proceedings and / or charges. Therefore, the number of proceedings or charges listed may exceed the number of youth in some data tables. Where relevant, case information and individual youth information is presented.

8 See 705 ILCS 405/5-822 9 In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Commission circulated preliminary data reports to Circuit Court Clerks, State’s Attorneys and Public Defenders and sought confirmation or correction of data reported.

4

Gathering and reporting the required information was complex and challenging for all involved – the research team, Commission staff, Circuit Court Clerks and other state and local partners. However, the diligence and collaboration exhibited by these stakeholders has begun, for the first time, to yield objective, statewide information about youth subject to transfer and trial as adults in Illinois. This information can provide valuable information to policy makers and practitioners who seek to protect community safety, use resources wisely and improve outcomes for the youth and families of our state. This report is submitted by the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission in partnership with the Center for Prevention Research and Development at the University of Illinois and the Loyola University Chicago Center for Criminal Justice Research, Policy and Practice in fulfillment of the Commission’s mandate in Public Act 99-0258.
