BACKGROUND
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is the State Administering
Agency that receives and disburses federal Title II formula grants to support state and
local efforts in delinquency prevention and juvenile justice system improvement. To
remain eligible for such funds, the BSCC must maintain compliance with the Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974 (as amended in 2002 and
2018), which is the enabling legislation for both the Title II formula grants and the state’s
juvenile justice advisory group.1 California’s state advisory group is the State Advisory
Committee on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (SACJJDP). The SACJJDP
is a governor-appointed group of subject matter experts.
A requirement for compliance with the JJDPA is submission of an annual report from the
state’s juvenile justice advisory group to the Governor and Legislature, with
recommendations regarding compliance with the first three of the four JJDPA core
requirements (those specifically related to compliance monitoring).2 The fourth core
requirement (Reducing Disproportionate Minority Contact) is addressed separately and
is not a part of the annual report to the Governor and Legislature.
The core requirements relative to compliance monitoring are:
1. Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders3 (DSO)
Prohibits, with specific exceptions, juveniles who are charged with or who have
committed an offense that would not be criminal if committed by an adult (status
offenders, truants, in-state runaways) from being held in secure detention.
2. Separation4
Prohibits youth who are under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court from having sight
and/or sound contact with adult inmates while in secure detention.
3. Jail Removal5
Prohibits the secure detention of youth in a lock-up or jail for longer than six (6)
hours.
This report will provide the Governor and Legislature with the most recent data submitted
to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), as well as the
SACJJDP’s recommendations regarding compliance with the core requirements.

COMPLIANCE WITH CORE REQUIREMENTS
BSCC staff monitor nearly 1,200 law enforcement facilities for compliance with the core
requirements. Through data collection and inspection, the BSCC annually determines
the number of violations of core requirements at these facilities, and in accordance with
the JJDPA, submits an annual report on compliance to OJJDP.
Attachment A contains the BSCC’s annual compliance monitoring report for the 2018
federal fiscal year reporting period, which runs from October 1, 2017 through September
30, 2018. Attachment B is a summary of violations of the core requirements since 2003.
California maintains compliance with the core requirements so long as the rate of
violations does not exceed the “de minimus” number of violations as established by
OJJDP. OJJDP recalculates standards for compliance annually using a process
described in federal regulation. States that report a rate at or below the standard are in
compliance. States that report a rate exceeding the year’s standards are out of
compliance.
Data from the 2018 reporting period verifies that California remains in de minimus
compliance with all three core requirements.
Core Federal
California 2018 Rates
Requirement Standard
DSO 5.85 0.62
Separation 0.30 0.00
Jail
7.04 1.14
Removal
Note: OJJDP develops standard rates of compliance
per 100,000 juvenile population.
Since 2003, California’s rates of violation have decreased overall (see Attachment B);
however, in comparing the 2017 and 2018 reporting periods DSO and Jail Removal
violations increased. DSO violations increased by 26 percent due to violations that
occurred in juvenile hall and camp facilities. The rise in DSO violations are attributed to
common reasons for DSO violation, including:
• in-state runaways;
• out-of-state runaways without Interstate Compact Agreements; and
• truancy.
The increase in violations suggest the need for training and technical assistance specific
to juvenile halls and camps on the DSO requirement.
Jail Removal violations increased 3 percent between the 2017 and 2018 reporting
periods. The increase occurred among status offenders and nonoffenders. Common
reported reasons include:
2
• history of delinquent;
• flight risk;
• danger to self or others; and
• combative, aggressive, or violent behavior.
The increased violations suggest the need for education specific to the Jail Removal
requirement and the treatment of status offenders and non-offenders.
Despite increases in DSO and Jail Removal violations, the rates of violation continue to
decrease. Since 2003, DSO violations have decreased 77 percent and Jail Removal
violations decreased nearly 45 percent (see Attachment B). There have been violations
of the separation requirement over the years; however, the BSCC determined that each
incident was isolated and provided necessary statements of explanation to OJJDP.
It should be noted that as the number of law enforcement facilities in the compliance
monitoring universe continues to increase each year, overall rates of violations continue
to decline.

BARRIERS TO COMPLIANCE AND STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THEM
To maintain compliance, the BSCC identifies barriers to compliance and develops
strategies on the bi-monthly and annual basis. Below is summary of barriers and
strategies.
Barrier Strategy
The volume of admissions to juvenile The BSCC has streamlined its data

facilities; constant training is required. and targeted. If a facility’s data appears
inconsistent with previous data, or if there
is an increase in violations, the BSCC
provides specific technical assistance and
training.
The BSCC developed training aids
specific to the core requirements.
The BSCC is considering the cost and
process of updating and revising its 40-
minute training video that outlines federal
and state requirements relative to minors
in detention. The training video is
accompanied by a workbook designed to
aid the detention facility staff.
BSCC staff provides pre-inspection
briefings to law enforcement agencies
and probation departments; all
information relevant to the upcoming
inspection is provided, including detailed
information on core requirements and
essential data.

The internal changes in BSCC staff The BSCC has provided general and
creates gaps of knowledge with tailored training to FSO staff, focusing on
respect to compliance monitoring in the applicability of core requirements at
certain facilities different facilities.
To further streamline the compliance
monitoring process and foster consistent
inspections, BSCC has developed a
detailed internal policy and procedures
manual for FSO staff.
The policy and procedures manual has
the most up-to-date guidance and
standards from OJJDP.
The FFY 18 data shows increased DSO The BSCC will conduct targeted
violations in juvenile halls and camps outreach, education, and technical
and increased Jail Removal violations assistance on DSO in juvenile halls and

SACJJDP RECOMMENDATIONS
The SACJJDP recommends that the Governor and Legislature continue to support the
BSCC’s approach to compliance monitoring, including strategies to overcome the barriers
mentioned above. The SACJJDP bases its recommendation on the decreasing violation
rates and the continuous training and technical assistance BSCC provides to the field.
The SACJJDP also recommends that BSCC update the 3-Year Plan for the application
of the federal Title II Formula Grants program, highlighting California’s effort and
commitment to maintaining compliance with the core requirements.
