Adaptations
for
Targeted Population
Juvenile Teams
1. Collaborative Planning: Engage all stakeholders in
creating an interdisciplinary, coordinated, and systemic
approach to working with youth and their families.
TKC 1. Drug courts integrate alcohol and other drug
treatment services with justice system case
processing.
May demand a new way of doing business that may
require adjustments in the court’s existing
procedures (language, days, times, LEP).
2. Teamwork: Develop and maintain an inter-disciplinary,
non-adversarial work team.
TKC2. Drug courts use a non-adversarial approach,
promote public safety while protecting participants’ due
process rights.
Make certain that topics of cultural awareness,
competency and proficiency are included in the annual
training plan. Remember: Individuals are competent
and teams are proficient !
A Team Effort

You are not alone

profession, the boundaries

through cooperation and
waiver.

3. Clearly Defined Target Population and Eligibility
Criteria: Define a target population and eligibility
criteria that are aligned with the program’s goals and
objectives
TKC3. Drug courts identify eligible participants
early and promptly place them in the drug court
program
Examine criteria to see if standards create over or
under-representation of participants.

of adolescent development.

due to budget issues, law enforcement/probation officers may not want
to work on weekends.

15. Goal-Oriented Incentives and Sanctions: Respond to
compliance and noncompliance with
incentives and sanctions that are designed to reinforce or
modify the behavior of youth and their families.
TKC6. Drug Courts use a coordinated strategy to govern
responses to participants’ compliance
Consider development age of youth and include family
and schools in application of incentives and sanctions –
ie: Incentives should be culturally based; football is important for
many, football tickets (integrating youth personal interest) vs movie
tickets to an old movie; might incentives be provided to family care
takers for youth who have children…?

increase desirable behaviors

• Consider (Not sure what to put here) in many
jurisdictions, juvenile drug courts have the option of conducting its
hearings in the presence of all the drug court participants, their
families, and other interested parties…you may need to consider how
this may impact a culture that values its privacy
