Common use of Stationhouse Adjustments Clause in Contracts

Stationhouse Adjustments. All municipal and other law enforcement agencies having patrol jurisdiction within the State of New Jersey shall make stationhouse adjustments available as a method of handling minor juvenile delinquency offenses within their jurisdiction. See Attorney General Directive 2008-2, Attorney General Guidelines for Stationhouse Adjustment of Juvenile Delinquency Offenses. A stationhouse adjustment is an alternative method that law enforcement agencies may use in their discretion to handle first-time juvenile offenders who have committed minor juvenile delinquency offenses within their jurisdiction. The availability of a stationhouse adjustment as a method of handling minor juvenile delinquency offenses does not require law enforcement agencies to use it unless they determine it is appropriate to do so. The intent of the stationhouse adjustment program is to provide for immediate consequences, such as community service or restitution and a prompt and convenient resolution for the victim, while at the same time benefitting the juvenile by avoiding the stigma of a formal juvenile delinquency record. In many instances, this early intervention will deter the youth from continuing their negative behavior and divert the youth from progressing further into the juvenile justice system. Though a report to law enforcement allows officers to remain vigilant to the possibility of a criminal act occurring off school grounds, law enforcement is not required to file a formal complaint against a juvenile for any offense. In response to reports to law enforcement by schools, stationhouse adjustments should be employed whenever appropriate to avoid the stigma of a formal juvenile delinquency record. When considering whether to report an offense to law enforcement, schools should ensure that all available school resources and sanctions are employed prior to making the report.
