County gives update of Youth Assessment Center Pilot project off the ground
Before a recent meeting of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, Chief Probation Officer Mark Ferriera gave a presentation on the county s new Youth Assessment Center, a “one-stop shop” where justice-involved youth can be assessed and receive services all under one roof.
The center was conceived in 1996 and was brought to a pilot program for the 2019-20 and full implementation in the current year.
Meanwhile the California State Senate passed Senate Bill 439 which was signed into law and went into effect on Jan. 1, 2020, it prohibited anyone under the age of 12 from being booked into Juvenile Hall or enter the juvenile justice system unless they were accused of murder or four specified sex offenses. The bill also mandated counties to come up programs to deal with minors under the 12 who committed a crime.
