  4. Chair's Comments
    Chairman Velasquez explained the goals for the meeting: to discuss the adolescent domestic battery project and preview the 2014 Detention Data Report.
  5. Detention/Detention Alternatives
    1. Project Updates
      1. Adolescent Domestic Battery Toolkit
        Shannon Hartnett and Wendy Nussbaum presented the status of the adolescent domestic battery work. First, they provided an update on the research in progress by the National Youth Screening and Assessment Project on the "typologies" tool. This included data on 347 youth across multiple states and counties. This research will allow Shannon and Wendy to finalize the typology tool and guidebook for use in additional interested jurisdictions in Illinois. The committee wants to remain involved as this project progresses as there are implications for juvenile justice councils and CCBYS. Obtaining funding for adolescent domestic battery services is another area to explore.
      2. Juvenile Detention Data Report Update
        Susan Witkin presented data from the 2014 Detention Data Report, which is in progress. The committee discussed a need to respond to those jurisdictions who are "at the top" of the list in admission rates and average daily population index.
      3. Detention Standards/jail standards
        Work continues to update the standards but there is no update at this time.
      4. IPCSA Partnership
