Even given, therefore, that pretrial detention may serve legitimate regulatory purposes, it is still necessary to determine whether the terms and conditions of confinement under § 320.5(3)(b) are in fact compatible with those purposes. FCA § 307.3(4). The State has "a parens patriae interest in preserving and promoting the welfare of the child," Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U. S. 745, 455 U.

The District Court gave three reasons for this conclusion. . The objectives of the probation officer conducting the interview are to determine the nature of the offense the child may have committed and to obtain some background information on him. 269-270. Perhaps more significant is the fact that in consequence of lack of experience and comprehension the juvenile does not view the commission of what are criminal acts in the same perspective as an adult. Ibid. And given "the inability of trial judges to predict which juveniles will commit crimes," there is no rational connection between the decision to detain and the alleged purpose, even if that purpose were legitimate.

"There do not appear to be any governing criteria which must be followed by the probation officer in choosing between proposing detention and parole. The majority dismisses this finding, along with a comparable finding by the Court of Appeals, see 689 F.2d at 373, as "mistaken." Gerstein arose under the Fourth Amendment, but the same concern with "flexibility" and "informality," while yet ensuring adequate predetention procedures, is present in this context. Nor is the complainant likely to appear. Because I disagree with both of those rulings, I dissent. Pretrial detention orders in New York may be reviewed by writ of habeas corpus brought in State Supreme Court. The majority refuses to consider the circumstances of these 34 cases, dismissing them as unrepresentative, ante at 467 U. S. 272, n. 21, and focuses instead on the lurid facts associated with the cases of the three named appellees. First, under the FCA, a juvenile may be held in pretrial detention for up to five days without any judicial determination of probable cause. The dissent would apparently have us strike down New York's preventive detention statute on two grounds: first, because the preventive detention of juveniles constitutes poor public policy, with the balance of harms outweighing any positive benefits either to society or to the juveniles themselves, post at 467 U. S. 290-291, 467 U. S. 308, and, second, because the statute could have been better drafted to improve the quality of the decisionmaking process, post at 467 U. S. 304-306. [Footnote 2/14] Such serious injuries to presumptively innocent persons -- encompassing the curtailment of their constitutional rights to liberty -- can be justified only by a weighty public interest that is substantially advanced by the statute. In the course of the interview, which lasts an average of 45 minutes, the probation officer will gather what information he can about the nature of the case, the attitudes of the parties involved, and the child's past history and current family circumstances. INTRODUCTION In Schall v. Martin,' the Supreme Court upheld a New York stat-ute that provided for the preventive detention ofjuveniles accused of a crime, who present a "serious risk" that they may commit an-other crime before trial.2 Schall v. But the Constitution does not mandate elimination of all differences in the treatment of juveniles. § 169B:14 (Supp.1983) N.J.Stat.Ann. § 321.1. SCHALL v. MARTIN 467 U.S. 253 (1984)This is one of several cases showing that legal fictions infect juvenile proceedings involving criminal conduct. Morgan was found guilty of harassment and petit larceny, and was ordered placed with the Department of Social Services for 18 months. Judge Newman, in his concurrence below, offered a list of statutory improvements. See U.S. Dept. The provisions cited by the majority for its novel reading of the statute provide only shaky support for its contention. These suggested changes included: limitations on the crimes for which the juvenile has been arrested or which he is likely to commit if released; a determination of the likelihood that the juvenile committed the crime; an assessment of the juvenile's background; and a more specific standard of proof. For example, a simple directive to Family Court judges to state on the record the significance they give to the seriousness of the offense of which a juvenile is accused and to the nature of the juvenile's background would contribute materially to the quality of the decisionmaking process without significantly increasing the duration of initial appearances. Id. Instead, we recognized "the desirability of flexibility and experimentation by the States." Section 320.5(3)(b), the provision at issue in these cases, authorizes detention if the judge finds "there is a serious risk [the juvenile] may before the return date commit an act which if committed by an adult would constitute a crime." If the petition is not dismissed, the juvenile is given an opportunity to admit or deny the charges. [James W Brown; Robert E Shepherd; Andrew J Shookhoff] A finding of the latter sort should not be sufficient under the Due Process Clause to justify a juvenile's detention. at 119.

Such a judgment forms an important element in many decisions, [Footnote 30] and we have specifically rejected. Schall v. Martin. Unless clearly erroneous, those findings are binding upon us, see Fed.Rule Civ.Proc. Judge Newman, concurring below, pointed to three other protections lacking in § 320.5(3)(b): "the statute places no limits on the crimes for which the person subject to detention has been arrested . And, second, are the procedural safeguards contained in the FCA adequate to authorize the pretrial detention of at least some juveniles charged with crimes? determination of probable cause is a prerequisite to any extended restraint on the liberty of an adult accused of crime. Writing for the Supreme Court in Schall v. Martin (1984), Justice _____ stressed that “the Constitution does not mandate elimination of all differences in the treatment of juveniles.” a. Stewart b.

But the discretion to delimit the categories of crimes justifying detention, like the discretion to define criminal offenses and prescribe punishments, resides wholly with the state legislatures. See Petitioners' Exhibit 3b. The propriety of such detention prior to a juvenile's initial appearance in Family Court is not at issue in this case. Furthermore, the 34 case histories on which the court relied were hand-picked by appellees' counsel from over a 3-year period. There are few limitations on § 320.5(3)(b). Id. See, e.g., Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Inc., Juvenile Detention Problems in New York City 3-4 (1970); J. We need not resolve this controversy. See Petitioners' Exhibit lb.

MARTIN 467 U.S. 253 (1984)This is one of several cases showing that legal fictions infect juvenile proceedings involving criminal conduct. forms an important element in many decisions, and we have specifically rejected the contention . Schall v. Martin Impact. I respectfully dissent. SCHALL v. MARTIN Syllabus SCHALL, COMMISSIONER OF NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE v. MARTIN ET AL. courts of eight States, including the New York Court of Appeals, have upheld their statutes with specific reference to protecting the juvenile and the community from harmful pretrial conduct, including pretrial crime. [Footnote 2/1] The Act contains two provisions that authorize the detention of juveniles arrested for offenses covered by the Act [Footnote 2/2] for up to 17 days pending adjudication of their guilt. The lesson of this foray into the tangled provisions of the New York Family Court Act is that the majority ought to adhere to our usual policy of relying whenever possible for interpretation of a state statute upon courts better acquainted with its terms and applications. The provision applies to all juveniles, regardless of their prior records or the severity of the offenses of which they are accused. 128 (testimony of Steven Hiltz, an attorney with 8 1/2 years of experience before the Family Court). [Footnote 21] But even assuming it to be the case that "by far the greater number of juveniles incarcerated under [§ 320.5(3)(b)] will never be confined as a consequence of a disposition imposed after an adjudication of delinquency," 689 F.2d at 371-372, we find that to be an insufficient ground for upsetting the widely shared legislative judgment that preventive detention serves an important and legitimate function in the juvenile justice system. The Court today holds that preventive detention of a juvenile pursuant to § 320.5(3)(b) does not violate the Due Process Clause. However, as Judge Newman observed, they could also be considered procedural flaws. Pp. Nos. 142. Most obviously, some measure of guidance to Family Court judges regarding the evidence they should consider and the standard of proof they should use in making their determinations would surely contribute to the quality of their detention determinations. 439 (1974); Ennis & Litwack, Psychiatry and the Presumption of Expertise: Flipping Coins In the Courtroom, 62 Calif.L.Rev. For example, Tyrone Parson, aged 15, one of the members of the sample, was arrested for enticing others to play three-card monte.

For example, as the Court of Appeals itself admits, 689 F.2d at 369, n. 18, the statistical study on which it relied mingles indiscriminately detentions under § 320.5(3)(b) with detentions under § 320.5(3)(a). See transcript of the initial appearance of Ramon Ramos, #1356/80, Judge Heller presiding, Petitioners' Exhibit 42, p. 11: "This business now of being able to get guns, is now completely out of proportion. Thus, the maximum possible detention under § 320.5(3)(b) of a youth accused of a serious crime, assuming a 3-day extension of the factfinding hearing for good cause shown, is 17 days. Separation of the properly detained juveniles from the improperly detained juveniles must be achieved through "case-by-case" adjudication. Many other observers of the circumstances of juvenile detention in New York have come to similar conclusions. Kenneth Morgan was charged with attempted robbery and attempted grand larceny for an incident in which he and another boy allegedly tried to steal money from a 14-year-old girl and her brother by threatening to blow their heads off and grabbing them to search their pockets. 2(2). On the basis of evidence adduced at trial, supplemented by a thorough review of the secondary literature, see 513 F. Supp. When his counsel is present, the juvenile is informed of the charges against him and furnished with a copy of the delinquency petition. Second, it must not punish the juveniles to whom it applies. Id. 691, 717 (SDNY 1981). denied, 426 U.S. 922 (1976). Found that all procedures were People ex rel.

S. 168-169 (1963). In light of these cases, I agree with the Court that "the Due Process Clause protects a pretrial detainee from the use of excessive force that amounts to punishment." benefited thereby, because they would not have committed crimes if left to their own devices (and thus would not have been exposed to the risk of physical injury or the perils of the cycle of recidivism, see ante at 467 U.

"Our society recognizes that juveniles in general are in the earlier stages of their emotional growth, that their intellectual development is incomplete, that they have had only limited practical experience, and that their value systems have not yet been clearly identified or firmly adopted.

Partly for similar reasons, we have consistently held violative of the First Amendment ordinances which make the ability to engage in constitutionally protected speech "contingent upon the uncontrolled will of an official -- as by requiring a permit or license which may be granted or withheld in the discretion of such official." See id. We have already seen that detention of juveniles on that ground serves legitimate regulatory purposes. FCA § 315.1. . For example, at least 5 of the 34 juveniles in the sample had no prior contact with the Family Court before being detained, and at least 16 had no prior adjudications of delinquency. But that interest must be qualified by the recognition that juveniles, unlike adults, are always in some form of custody. And the judgment of that court is appealable as of right and may be taken directly to the Court of Appeals if a constitutional question is presented. See also Ingraham v. Wright, 430 U. S. 651, 430 U. S. 671-672, and n. 40, 430 U. S. 673-674 (1977); Gregory v. Chicago, 394 U. S. 111, 394 U. S. 112 (1969); Thompson v. Loisville, 362 U. S. 199, 362 U. S. 206 (1960). Synopsis of … The majority cites one case in which a detainee did obtain his release by securing a writ of habeas corpus. . Ibid. On the contrary, these juveniles suffer several serious harms: deprivation of liberty and stigmatization as "delinquent" or "dangerous," as well as impairment of their ability to prepare their legal defenses. Whatever the merits of the decisions upon which the majority relies, but cf., e.g., Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U. S. 880, 463 U.

(1979), the Court held that an adult may not be punished prior to determination that he is guilty of a crime. Neither the statute nor any other body of rules guides the efforts of the judge to determine whether a given juvenile is likely to commit a crime before his trial. Brief for Appellees 93.

N.Y.Penal Law §§ 10.00(18), 30.00(2) (McKinney Supp.1983-1984). The judgment of the Court of Appeals is. It could be argued that, even though such a statute would unavoidably result in detention of some juveniles who would not have committed any offenses if released (because of the impossibility of reliably predicting the behavior of individual persons, see supra at 467 U. S. 293-294), the gains consequent upon the detention of the large proportion who would have committed crimes would be sufficient to justify the injuries to the other detainees. Schall v. Martin (1984) Schall v. Martin (1984) References Effects on Society Schall v. Martin (1984) Pretrial detention was criticized on the basis that future criminal behavior by individuals cannot be reliably predicted. The New York Family Court Act governs the treatment of persons between 7 and 16 years of age who are alleged to have committed acts that, if committed by adults, would, constitute crimes. § 307.3(4). at 149-150.

Individual litigation would be a practical impossibility, because the periods of detention are so short that the litigation is mooted before the merits are determined. In summary, the three factors enumerated in Mathews, in combination, incline overwhelmingly in favor of imposition of more stringent constraints on detention determinations under § 320.5(3)(b). Section 320.5(3)(b) of the New York Family Court Act authorizes pretrial detention of an accused juvenile delinquent based on a finding that there is a "serious risk" that the child "may before the return date commit an act which if committed by an adult would constitute a crime." See Petitioners' Exhibit 2b. As noted above, the District Court found that secure detention entails incarceration in a facility closely resembling a jail, and that pretrial detainees are sometimes mixed with juveniles who have been found to be delinquent. That a writ of habeas corpus could be obtained on short notice to remedy a glaring statutory violation provides no support for the majority's suggestion that individual detainees could effectively petition for release by challenging the constitutionality of their detentions. 82-1248, 82-1278. jurisprudence in light ofSchall, see Rosenberg, Schall v.

Ellen SCHALL, Commissioner of New York City Department of Juvenile Justice v. Gregory MARTIN et al. The findings of fact reviewed in the preceding sections make it apparent that the vast majority of detentions pursuant to § 320.5(3)(b) advance no state interest; only rarely does the statute operate to prevent crime.
