  Characteristics and
           Outcomes
Defining Crossover Youth
7

Characteristics of Crossover Youth:
General Demographics
 Increased likelihood of being female compared to justice-only youth (Herz
  et al., 2019; Sickmund et al., 2017)
   • Girls represent 29% of juvenile court cases and between 30-50% of CY cases

 More likely to be African-American        (Herz et al., 2019; Child Welfare Information Gateway,
  2017; Sickmund et al., 2017)
   • African-American youth are 16% of the general population but account for 35% of
     juvenile court cases and 24% of foster care youth
   • African-American CY found to double in rate compared to representation in just JJ and
     CW

 High proportion of LGBQ/GNCT (Herz et al., 2019; Irvine & Canfield, 2017)
   • 20% of CY identify as LGBQ/GNCT
   • 13.6% of CY males and 39.3% of CY females identified as LGBQ/GNCT
   • More than twice as likely to be removed from the home compared to heterosexual
     peers
   • Seven times more likely to be placed in a foster or group home
Characteristics of Crossover Youth:
Psychosocial
 Dierkhising et al. (2018) found that 31% of a sample of 718 CY in LA
  experienced suicidal ideation or attempted suicide

 CY experience higher levels of substance use than justice only involved
  youth
   • Halemba et al. (2004) reported over 75% of CY had a history of substance use
     across four Arizona counties
   • Herz & colleagues (2018) found that roughly 70% of CY in LA had histories of
     substance use

 More likely to have mental health challenges
   • Herz et al. (2018) found approximately 75% of CY in LA had a diagnosed mental
     health disorder

 Increased likelihood of familial mental health and substance use histories
  (Lee & Villagrana, 2015)

 Most common psychosocial-related causes for inpatient hospital care are
  mood, psychotic, attention, & conduct disorders (CIDI, 2015)
9

Characteristics of Crossover Youth:
Child Welfare Involvement
 Histories of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect are all related to
 CY (Herz et al., 2019; Irvine & Canfield, 2016)
   • Abuse occurring during adolescence increases likelihood of delinquent behavior
     (Huang et al., 2015)

 High rate of out-of-home placements (Herz et al., 2019)
   • Often placed in congregate care

 Frequent placement changes compared to non-CY (Herz et al., 2019)
   • LA County (CA): CY experienced an average of 8 placement changes (Herz, 2016)
   • King County (WA): CY experienced an average of 12 placement changes (Halemba &
     Siegel, 2011)

 Less likely to form prosocial bonds with peers and adults (Huang et al., 2015)

 More likely to have longer stays in child welfare system than child
 welfare-only involved youth (Herz et al., 2019)
10

Characteristics of Crossover Youth:
Juvenile Justice Involvement
 Less than ½ charged with violent offenses (Herz & Fontaine, 2013)
   • Usually related to incidents at home, in group homes, or at school

 Detained at higher rates than non-child welfare involved youth with similar
 charges (Herz et al., 2019)
  • Lack of parent/guardian to pick up youth
  • Caretaker refuses to have youth return to placement
  • No known place to release youth to

 Less likely to be considered for diversion (Halemba et al., 2004)

 More likely to receive out-of-home placement at disposition than non-child
  welfare involved youth (Herz et al., 2019)

 Typically younger at the age of their first arrest than youth not involved in
  child welfare   (Herz et al., 2019)
11

 Outcomes Related to Crossover Youth:
 Education
 Low levels of school connectedness
   • High school mobility and truancy rates (Herz et al., 2019; Herz, Ryan, & Bilchik, 2016)
   • Social isolation and lack of prosocial connections (Lee & Villagrana, 2015; Ryan et al.,
     2013)
   • Issues with credit transfer (Legal Center for Foster Care and Education, 2008)
   • Increased likelihood of dropping out of school (Sweeten et al., 2009)

The Legal Center for Foster Care and Education (2008) estimated
 that with every change of placement, a young person loses four to six
 months of academic progress in school

Increased chance of qualifying for special education (Herz et al., 2019; Leone
  & Weinberg, 2012)
   • CY tend to have learning and behavioral challenges that result in academic
     and disciplinary struggles
   • Difficulty accessing appropriate services (Herz et al., 2019)
Poll Question 1

• What is the area of greatest need for the crossover youth in
  your community?

a.   Mental health services
b.   Substance use treatment
c.   Education supports
d.   Stronger familial connections
e.   None of the above
f.   All of the above
13

Outcomes Related to Crossover Youth:
Recidivism
 More likely to recidivate in both the juvenile and adult
 justice systems as compared to those solely involved in the
 justice system (CIDI, 2015; Herz et al., 2019)

 CIDI (2015) study in NYC examined recidivism and
 subsequent placement of CY and justice-only youth
  • Adult Jail: 57.1% of CY recidivists vs. 44.8% justice-only
  • Jail → State prison: 25.2% of CY recidivists vs. 20.0% justice-only
  • CY also had longer and more frequent stays in the adult system than
    justice-only involved youth

 Longer history of involvement with child welfare increases
 the likelihood of recidivism (Halemba & Siegel, 2011)
14

Outcomes Related to Crossover Youth:
Access to Service
Culhane et al. (2011) examined discrepancies between
service referral and access for crossover youth in Los
Angeles
 74% referred to individual therapy
  • Only 55% accessed this service

 43% referred to academic tutoring
  • Only 17% accessed this service

 33% referred for medication monitoring
  • Only 15% accessed this service
     • Just 50% of the youth who were prescribed a psychotropic medication
       were found to actually take their medication
15

Outcomes Related to Crossover Youth:
Public Service Utilization

Culhane et al.’s (2011) LA-based study examining
outcomes for crossover youth was replicated by CIDI
(2015) in NYC
 Involvement with public services (e.g., homeless shelters,
 justice, foster care, financial assistance, and health
 services) between 1 to 6 years post-discharge
  • 94% (NYC) and 88% (LA) of CY utilized at least one service
  • 80% (NYC) and 78% (LA) of CY utilized two or more services
  • 49% of CY in NYC and LA utilized three or more services
16

Outcomes Related to Crossover Youth:
Financial Impact

CIDI (2015) compared the cost of accessed
public services across CY cases and those solely
involved in the justice or child welfare system
 Average cumulative cost across service areas for CY
 was 40% higher ($65,424) than those only involved in
 the justice ($47,854) or foster care ($46,670) systems

                            sharing                    systems
19

Prevention
   Focus: Determine the frequency at which youth
    are crossing over and develop strategies to reduce
    this occurrence.
     Review data that shows where “crossover” is occurring most
       frequently (i.e. congregate care facilities, specific schools).

     Begin to unpack the data and determine what factors are driving the
       rates.

     Develop and implement collaborative strategies to reduce the risk of
       youth crossing over between systems.
20

Information Sharing
   Focus: Determine what can be shared based on
    law, consent, and/or court order to support
    interagency collaboration at the aggregate and
    direct services level.
     Create the necessary agreements for information sharing at the
       aggregate and direct services level.

     Ensure the agreements provide direct guidance to the counties on
       how they are to share information.
21

Interagency Collaboration
   Focus: Develop a case management process that
    will outline how the Child Welfare and Juvenile
    Justice systems will provide coordinated case
    management that impacts:
       Identification of youth who have crossed over
       Utilization of detention for youth who have open child welfare cases
       Decision-making regarding charges
       Joint assessment process and planning
       Coordinated case management and ongoing assessment
       Planning for permanency, transition, and case closure
CYPM Phases of Practice
                                                               Systemic processes that
                                                             are enhanced or developed
                                                             to support youth who move
                               Phase I                        between child welfare and
              -Arrest, Identification, and Detention               juvenile justice
              -Decision-Making Regarding Charges

                             Phase III
    -Coordinated Case Management and Ongoing Assessment
      -Planning for Youth Permanency, Transition, and Case
                             Closure
Phase I: Arrest, Identification, and Detention

   Early identification of youth
    • Develop a process to identify a youth involved with child welfare during the
      Juvenile Justice intake process
    • Upon confirming their involvement, contact with the CW system will be
      made immediately
    • CW social workers are required to attend all delinquency proceedings (and
      vice versa)
 Use of validated screening and assessment tools (particularly for
  those being detained)
 Ensure detention is being appropriately determined based on
  established criteria
 Identify prevention opportunities
Phase I: Decision-Making Regarding Charges

 Evaluate  how charging decisions are made
 Ensure equitable use of diversion programs
 Consider how to best serve the interest of youth and public
  safety
 Explore how the sharing of financial and human resources
  across systems can best ensure that youth receive the
  services they need at the appropriate level of system
  involvement
Phase II: Joint Assessment and Coordinated
Case Planning
 Create seamless transitions between case management
    staff within and across systems

   Develop a coordinated joint assessment process
       • Crossover youth-specific risk and needs assessment
         completed.
       • Representatives from both agencies contribute to the
         process, e.g., through regular team meetings
Phase II: Joint Assessment Process

 Pre-disposition joint assessment process should:
  • Review behavior patterns
  • Explore family strengths
  • Assess overall youth and family needs
  • Consider contributing factors (i.e., mental health, chronic health
    problems, domestic violence)
  • Assess possible concerns including negative peer group, poor
    school performance
  • Include a review of information gathered from other
    assessments
Phase II: Coordinated Case Planning

    Create a coordinated and collaborative planning process
    that:
    –   Results in a single integrated plan between JJ and CW agencies
    –   Encourages frequent team meetings and interagency contact
        throughout the life of the case
    –   Ensures each agency’s case workers are attending the other’s
        hearings
Phase II: Coordinated Case Planning

   Coordinated case plans should:
    –   Be clear in describing what each agency or individual must do
        (and by when)
    –   Explain to child and family what constitutes successful
        completion
    –   Include step-by-step, realistic, implementable, and relevant
        goals (child and family-specific)
    –   Be revisited by all parties to the case regularly, including before
        court hearings
Court Structure

 Dedicated Docket
  • One judicial officer hears the CW and JJ cases simultaneously.
  • Dedicated teams (e.g., judicial officers, attorneys) designated to handle
    crossover cases and receive appropriate training.

 One Judge/One Family
  • One judicial officer hears all matters regarding a specific family.
  • Judicial officers receive special training relevant to crossover cases.

 Pre-Court Coordination
   • Advance planning prior to court hearings
   • Coordinating hearing dates

Courts should also be receiving recommendations and information from each agency in ways that
                               allow for informed decision-making.
Phase III: Coordinated Case Management &
Ongoing Assessment
 Post-Dispositioncollaborative case management
 Ensure joint supervision between child welfare and juvenile
  justice
 Share case management and planning responsibilities
 Routinely assess case progress
Phase III: Planning for Youth Permanency,
Transition, and Case Closure
 Jointsystems transition planning
 Case planning and closure meetings
 Address youth self-sufficiency & permanency
 Identify practical supports to assist youth in transition from
  care
