Wilkes County Teen Court
Phone: 336-386-9144
Address: Children's Center of Northwest NC (Yadkin County) 117 South Jackson St. Yadkinville, North Carolina 27055
Description of Services: Teen Court is a diversionary restorative justice option for juvenile offenders committing a misdemeanor offense.
Teen Court utilizes peer sentencing to hold offending youth accountable for their actions and to impose sanctions that address the harm caused and promote positive personal development. The Court is led by youth volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18 under the supervision of an adult judge.
**Eligible youth:
• Ages 11-17
• Misdemeanor offense
• Accepts Responsibility
Great opportunity for youth volunteers who may want to pursue a career in the justice system:
• Training for volunteers
• Opportunities for Teen Court competitions, summits, and statewide meetings
• Confidentiality (training, signed statement)
Sanctions include:
• Community Service/Restitution
• Letter of Apology
• Offense-specific Essay
• Jury/Tribunal Duty
• Skill Building Workshops
• Workshops and “done in a day projects” that address – shoplifting, substance abuse, truancy, disruptive school behavior/disorderly conduct, vandalism, curfew violations, harassment, animal neglect, and “build your own” which can be tailored to specific to each individual case.
Core Components:
1. Victim involvement (written impact statements, providing oral testimony of the impact of the crime, victim offender mediation, suggestions related to sentencing)
2. Competency development – changing the role of the offender from passive recipient of services to an active role that allows him or her to be a resource to others
3. Accountability – providing opportunities for offenders to understand the effect their actions have on others and develop skills/enhance strengths.
4. Community – offer opportunities for juvenile offenders to be held accountable for their actions while giving them a chance to connect and contribute to their communities and establish or rebuild broken relationships.
Important points:
• Restorative Justice – community plays an active role in addressing juvenile crime, sanctions address the crime committed and attempt to repair harm done, not punish (rate of victimization)
• Can address problem behaviors at school before they rise to a level that requires juvenile justice involvement
• Cost of court for families that are often struggling financially, length of process, juvenile court resources – higher level youth (90 Days from referral to completion of sanctions)
• Positive Peer-pressure/Peer Influence. Pro social peers and adults role model appropriate behavior. Youth are more likely to have a positive perception of the justice system when sentenced by their peers.
• What happens to non-successful or non-compliant referrals – returned to referral source, charges may resume in juvenile court
• Assessments/Parent Involvement/Aftercare
• Trial Flexibility: Plea in Bar [defense attorney and prosecuting attorney (and adult facilitator) talk with the defendant and parent and all come to an agreement on the community service hours] – Can be used for younger defendants and special needs defendants
