FEBRUARY 13, 1975 Juvenile Justice Masterplan Planned by Steering Committee A 15-member committee of professionals and laymen has launched an in-depth investigation into the juve nile justice system in Georgia with hopes that the results of their study will curb the increasing frequen cy of juvenile delinquency in Georgia. The product of the commit tee’s efforts in the next year and a half will be a Juvenile Justice Masterplan, the first in the history of the state, according to Judge Walter C. McMillan, Jr., Sandersville, who was elected Monday as the chairman of the newly organized Juvenile Justice Masterplan Steering Com mittee. “Juvenile delinquency is a growing problem in Georgia that must be recognized and dealt with as a serious* problem,” Judge McMillan told a gathering of reporters at a news conference Tuesday at the Administra tive Office of the Courts in Atlanta. “From 1971 to 1973, the number of delinquency cases heard in Georgia grew 3 percent per year. Indica tions are that this is a trend that will continue at a proportionate rate during the coming years.” “How do we handle these children? Are they being trealed? Is anyone taking steps to prevent delinquen cy? Most importantly, are these children who are involved in delinquent acts today going to be the criminals who crowd our jails and prisons tomorrow? “These are some of the questions which hopefully will be answered by the steering committee in the coming year,” Judge McMil Buffs Veterans To Get Insurance Share (Special to the Progress-Argus) New York, Jan. 25 For some 130 of the war veterans living in Butts County, Washington is offering greet ings of a pleasant kind. Willi the greetings is the news that they will receive approximately SIO,OOO in the months ahead as their share of a $335.6 million melon being cut by the Govern ment . The money represents dividends that have fallen due them under their GI insurance policies. Local veterans whose service was solely in the Vietnam War will not particiaple at this time because of the type of insurance policies they hold. On the other hand, vete rans of the Korean War will be getting payments for the first time. The majority of the recipients are those who saw service in World War 11. Also participating are World War I vets. According to the Veterans Administration, the $335.6 million dividend to be distributed this year breaks all records. It is $31.8 million more than ever before. The bigger payout was made possible by the fact that the interest earned by the trust funds that govern the insurance policies has been higher than usual lately. The great majority of those who will be receiving checks are World War II vets who hold National Service Life tan said. Under the direction of the committee appointed by the Council of Juvenile Court Judges with the approval of the Judicial Council of Georgia, staff personnel from the Administrative Office of the Courts will be studying the juvenile justice system in Georgia. The committee, with the assis tance of technical advisors and testimony taken during hearings, will formulate a masterplan and make re commendations to the Gene ral Assembly and all related agencies involved in the syslem on methods of improving juvenile justice and services for juveniles. The committee will be projecting necessary chan ges in the form of anticipated program areas which will require local, state and federal money. The master plan will contain recommen dations for developing, main taining and expanding pro grams and services to prevent juvenile delinquency and to divert juveniles from the juvenile justice system. In addition, the masterplan will qualify Georgia for federal assistance under the new Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act signed into law September 7, 1974, by President Gerald Ford. That Congressional act provides for allocation of funds on an annual basis to states and local governments to assist in planning, esta blishing, operating, coordi nating and evaluating pro jects for the development of more effective education, (raining, research, preven tion, diversion, treatment Insurance policies bearing the letter V. World War I vets who hold! U.S. Government Life Insu rance policies starting with the letter K and those who were in the Korean conflict and have Veterans Special Life Insurance will also participate. The 130 residents of Butts County who will be benefiting represent only 21 percent of the 630 World War and Korean veterans in the local areas. They are the ones who kept their policies in force. What they will receive will vary in amount, depending upon their age and the size and type of their policies. For World War I vets the average will be $169 for those who were in World War 11, SB3, and for Korean vets, sll. Their checks will arrive automatically on the anni versary date of their policies. No applications are necessa ry. PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Watson Fisher and Diane of Perry spent Sunday with Mrs. S. W. Maddox, Sr., mother of Mrs. Fisher. Napoleon’s parents were Italian, not French. and rehabilitation programs in the area of juvenile delinquency and other pro grams to improve the juvenile justice system. After its detailed study is complete, the state must submit a plan for improving the juvenile justice system and must show a comprehen sive approach to juvenile delinquency prevention ar.d treatment. The plan must also include itemized esti mated costs for the develop ment and implementation-fe these programs. “The juvenile system as it 'exists today in Georgia varies from county to county,” Judge McMillan said Tuesday. “There are 159 counties in Georgia and almost 159 different ways of dealing with juveniles. In large, the system in Georgia is now severely fragmented with appointed referees hearing some cases, Superior Court judges others and juvenile court judges other cases. In rural counties, problems with juveniles are even more difficult to handle due to lack of sufficient numbers of court service workers and the fact that Superior Court judges must hear both adult and juvenile cases in multi-county cir cuits.” Other areas of concern which the committee expects to investigate include sepa ration of status offenders from the court process, increase in numbers of all personnel and improvement of their services to juveniles, reduction of the growing repeater rate, increased uniformity in the system, improved communications between agencies, centra Perform a death-defying act.
