A number of cases are referred by or through the court to the voluntary agency and from the voluntary agency to the court. The Inghan County Survey pointed out that, 'with the exception of the Catholic unmar- ried mothers and infants, referred to Catholic Social Service for adoptions, and an occasional delinquent, there is reluc- tance to use the voluntary agencies or lack of awareness of the use which could be made on the part of the court."1 In view of this finding, it seemed desirable to ex- snins referrals between the two agencies in detail. For the purpose of study, the following questions which contain the essence of the problem were formulated; 1. What is the nature of inter-agency referrals? 2. Do both agencies utilize the functions of the other apprOpristely and regularly? lacmunit y Research Associates Inc. We nd gaze m,1ngham County, Michigan, April: 1956, p. 95. ' O .. a ' .

The private sectarian agency uses the court for pro- blame which need authority of the court for casework counsel- ing and those cases which.need or may be able to use, only the authority of the court. 4 WW. Catholic Social Bervice was organized in February, 19b9. This agency was chartered under the laws set forth by the_8tate of’Hichigan for such organizations. Catholic Social Service began as a private Catholic social casework agency with no limits as to intake.2 Anyone desirous of receiving help is eligible for service from this agency. Eligibility for financial assistance includes those needing temporary fin- ancial assistance who are not eligible for Public Assistance. Catholic Social Service was founded to better Ipro. serve wholesome family life and to care for dependent, neg- ‘— 2Ses'Antoendix,'Constitution of Catholic Social Service, Inc, Lansing, Michigan, l9h9, Article II, p. 56. 3 lected, and delinquent children in accordance with.the rules, regulations, and .lO’Od.tdanOnB of the Catholic Church by: - l. Offering consultation services to persons and organizations on spiritual and.materi- s1 problems affecting family and child care. 2. Providing trained caseworkers to assist families and individuals in preserving and deveIOping preper family'and.child care. 3. Promoting and participating in community work fos~the betterment of flhe family and 1d.‘' During the time of this study, the professional staff consisted of a director, supervisor, two caseworkers, and three social work students; two completing their second year, and one completing her first year.h In addition, there was an office manager who acted as administrative secretary and receptioni st typist. Catholic Social Service carried #81 active cases on January 2, 1957.5 Five workers averaged 96 cases per workerté 3Ibid., p. 56.‘ ”At the present time, there is a director, supervisor, two full-time trained caseworkerl, two part-time trained case- workers, a senior undergraduate student who will begin his pro- fessional training in the fall of 1957, and two social work students, one completing the second year and one completing ' the first year. In addition to the administrative secretary, there is a receptionist typiet on a full time basis. 5Agency Statistics, Catholic Social Service, Lansing, lichigan, 1956. . 6Three students were considered equivalent to one worker. a. h Catholic Social Service does not close cases that are refer- red to other agencies or institutions, but places than on an inactive status. The nunbers on inactive status are includ- ed in the worker's caseload, but separate statistics are not kept on these cases. lgggnilc Piyieionuof the probate Court‘ In 1907, the probate court of each county was given original Jurisdiction of dependent, neglected, and delinquent children under‘the age of 17 years of age and of wayward min- ers between 17 and 21 years of age.7 The probate court when exercising this Jurisdiction, was termed the Juvenile Division of the Probate Court.8 The law has been.anended several times or're-enacted in new legislation: but until l9bh, there had been no substan- tial change. Act So. 5h, P. A. l9hh (extra session) in amend- ing the probate code made two substantial changes in that the court was given only concurrent Jurisdiction.in cases of ways ward minors and in that the age limits of wayward minors were 7Act No. 6, P. A. 190? (extra session). BSee appendix, State of Michigan, The Probate Code, Juveniles and the Juvenile Division, Chapter 712-A, Compiled Laws of 19b8, p. 55. *Hichigan does not have a Juvenile Court as such,‘but hereafter, Children's Division will.be referred to as the Juv- Onlla Court. set at 17 to 19 years of age. Also the terms, dependent, neglected, delinquent, sndnsayward minor, were *mfifitei, but the definitions were retained. However, in this study, the terms will be used as more convenient than the lew‘s rather cufibersomephrase, “children coming within the provisions of th1l~ohapter3' ' . On January 2, 195?. the staff of the Ingham County Prdbate Court consisted.of'the Judge, the ccinty agent, four fulletime and one part—tine probation officers, and two clerk-stencgrsnhers.9 The county agent is appointed'by the governor on re- commendation of the probate Judge and.is paid his salary and expenses by the state. However, the county may euepleoent the state salary by a county apprOorietion. The rest of the staff is appointed by the Judge and is paid by the county. All hold office at the pleasure of the court and_act under the court's supervision end direction. the county agents and probation officers are college graduates, some of then with , additional graduate work in.related fields sudh as social work, education, and sociology, but none has completed professional social work training.1° 9As of February 1, 195?. the county agent was neeoint- ed Director of Children's Services besides his other duties, and another probation officer was added. ’ 10Two of the workers are pert-time graduate students in social work at Michigan State University. 6 As of January 2, 1957, there were anproximately 860 active cases in the court files.11 The total delinquency load was 370 cases. The dependent, neglect, and infant adep— tione accounted for the remaining #90 cases. The county agent carried 80 delinquent cases on his caseload. .Two probation officers carried 130 delinquent ceees each, and the one part-time probation officer carried 30 delinquent caoee. Two probation officers carried 225 de- pendent and neglected cases apiece, while one carried 150 in- fant edontione. This is a heavy volume of service for a court staff of eeven workere, and e Judge who devotes only part of his time to the Juvenile division of the probate court. This does not meet the general agreed unon theory that a probation officer should have only fifty cases under aunervieion at any time.12 The court does not close the files on children refer- red to other agencies until a petition nor dismissal has been filed. At the time of the study, the number of children that werezreferred to other agencies was not accerteinable. _._k A A 11Based on 1956 figures given by the Ingham County gent.

CHAPTER II HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND CURRENT THINKING A brief review of accepted Juvenile Court standards may at this point provide:a background against which to set the work of the Ingham County Juvenile Court. First, on the legal side, according to many authors, the age limit under which the court may have Jurisdiction in children's cases varies from state to state , from sixteen to twenty-one years 1 of age. The Standard JUvenile Court Law states, "that Jurisdiction acquired while the child is under eighteen, may be retained at the discretion of the court to twenty-one? If a child sixteen or over commits an offense which for an .adult would be a felony, Jurisdiction may be naived and the once referred to the criminal court. Ideally, a Juvenile court ahould.have Jurisdiction to determine naternity, to grant sdootiona and to decide all cuestiona of custody and guardian- shin. It has been generally agreed the Juvenile Court also has authority to deal with parents or other adults who by neg- ligence or otherwise contribute to the delineuency of a child. 1Pauline V. Youna,,§gcirl Treatment in Probation an? Delinquency, (2d ed), McGrew_Hill Book Company, 1952, p. 21 zflational Probation Association, §_Standard Juvenile Q93;§_Law, Revised, 1933. 8 Administration of denendency cases has been a dis- puted ouestion almost from the beginning of the Juvenile Court systems, due partly to the fact that in the early oer- icd_there were few child welfare service agencies for child- ren. The court was broadly conceived, in many Jurisdictions, as having reasonsibility for all children in need of any kind of public care. The present trend is definitely away from this interpretation and toward restriction of court function to deoendency cases comoiicated by legal questions involving custody or other considerations. It is generally considered children should.be rrinarily the resoonsibility of nublic or private casework agencies which may bring than directly into court when adjudication is necessary. ThroughOut the history of the develoonent of flee Juv- enile Court, definitions of the delinquent, demandent, and neglected child have constantly changed as has the defined function of the court. The definitions of delinquent, de. pendent, and neglected followed in general those in the first Juvenile Court law in the nation, that of Cook County, Illin— 013, which was massed in 1899 which is as follows: ”Deoendent child“ and fineglectei child” shall mean any boy who, uhile under 17, or any girl who while, under 18, is ’ homeless; or.a public charge; or lacks parental caro;.or habitually bags, or lives with any vicious or disreputable persons, or whose home, through fault of parent or other custodian, in unfit; and any child Who, while under 10, is found bogging or neddligg or furnishing any music for>gain upon the street, or tak- ing part in public entertainments. "Delinquent child” shall mean any boy uho while under 1?, or girl, while under 18, violates any state law, or is incorrigi- his, or chooses evil associates; or is a runaway, or is growing up in idleness or crime; or frequents a house of ill repute, gaming place, or dram shop; or idly roams the street at night or'habituslly tres— passes upon railroad preperty; or is guilty of public profanity, or indecency,3 The present trend in Juvenile Court laws is toward a more simple statement of Jurisdiction over all children need- ing the orctection of the court. 3Busting H. Heart, Juvenile Court Law! in the United St to , (ed), New York Charities Publication Committee, 1910, p. 52. 10 The Juvenile Court movement represented.the second of the social movements in the country designed.to provide care end treatment for Juvenile offenders on the basis of the child's needs for nrotection and retraining rather then so- ciety's need for nunishing crime. (The first such effort took the form of the establishment of special institutions for the reformation of young offenders.h) Because of the absence of community resources to serve children they dealt with, the courts attempted to nrovide such service, and Polier stated, 'Ths shortcomings of the children's courts of today ere...due to the re- fusal by some courts to employ.... special skills for'both diagnosis and treatment of mslsdJueted.children, and the inability at other courts to secure adequate treatment resources because of lack of community support. Buch.resourcee must include not only the personnel required for correct diagnosis of'the individual child's Katherine F. Lenroot, “The Juvenile Court Today,‘l [gdgrel Pr batidn, Vol. XIII, Sentember, 19h9, p. 1. 11 problem, but also treatment resources in the community which involve cooper- ation_of parents, school personnel, social workers, and psychiatrists, and finally, institutions to which a child can, when necessary, be sent for treat- ment rather than custodial care.“5 The courts have turned to other agencies for help. There have been some attempts to determine understanding of various social services by community members. Hush has been written regarding referrals to and from agencies. Attempts have been made to clarify When referrals are necessary, and through channels of interpretation and education to increase understandinéfthe function and purpose of children's_courts. Perhaps the fact that interest in this area exists is a step toward good working relationships between community resources. Communities vary markedly in both the extent and quality of . resources available to the courts. Court workers admit that they cannot do their best work unless they make use of every resource available.6 5Justine Wise Polier, “unraveling Juvenile Delinquen- cy,“ Harvard Law Review, LXIV (1951), pp. 1037-1038. 6Harleigh‘B. Trecher, "The Use of Community Agencies in Probation Work," Federal Probation, Vol. XI, October . December, 1947, n. 21. . 12 A compilation of the major findings and recommendations in the area of delinquency control indicates: l. A wide range of agencies and rrcgrams are available to render service to the multi- nle needs of nersons who have social mal- adjustment nroblems. 2. More effective coordination of these agen- cies must be arranged so that their maxi- mum energies will be mmbilised and brought to bear systematically and continuously in behalf of the pecule with whom they work. 3. Many persons being served by one agency need additional help from one or several other agencies. The complex organization of social welfare resources makes it diffi- cult, and in some.cases impossible for reenle to utilize available programs with- out help from nrofessionsl workers.7 In her study, Greene pointed out that there were cer- tain orccedures which might be followed in cases which were referred which might help to eliminate some confusion in their handling and to make the casework more effective. She 71cm” 9. :1. 13 nuggeetod several procedurca: - 1. ”Before acceptance of the increased re- aoonsibility inherent in such cases, it might be helpful to have a conference be- tween representatives of the court and family agency. 2.

CHA?TER III VETHOES AWE PRoCEDU?FS £33.:chon IN THE 3 STUDY The purpose of this atuay in to examinc the nature of internagcncy referrals between Catholic Social Service ana the Juvenile Division of the Probate Court to éetcrmine if both agencies utilize the function of the other aooropri- ately and regularly. Interviews with the county agent, casework suocrvicor, and regular contact with agency and court staff were accom- plished. The writer become interested in the court's use of community resources during his first your field placement in' an authoritarian setting at Boys’ Vocational School. He felt that if some of the boys had rccoivcd.hhlp in the community, they would not have been committefi as a last resort. Soon after Joining the staff at Catholic Social Service, the writer found that most of his cases concieted of chiliren that had been referred to the agency by the court. He became interest- ed in the problem of agency unfierstanfiing and function. In selecting tho soecific problem, interest was focused directly on agency-court relationship. 15 The study was limited to children falling under the Jurisdiction.of the Juvenile Division. The number was es- tablished on the'baeie of Catholic Social Service's index cards containing basic information on all referrals. In order to have a sample with which the writer could work in the limited time available for research, January 2, 1957. was selected. According to the casework supervisor, this was a typical day. Active cases on January 2, 195?, were pulled. Those cases that had been referred either by the court to the agen~ cy or‘by the agency to the court were listed for study. A schedule was nrenarcd after a conference with the nrobete Judge and casework supervisor. The schedule was de- eigned to cover two main areas, which.are, 1. Identifying information, and - 2. Circumstances of referrale.1 The first part of the schedule is directed to obtain- ing a description of the children referred and is essential in relation to the source of referral. The factors include, age, sex, race, religion, number of children in family, ordi- nal position, marital status of parents, and parente' religion. 1See Appendix A, Schedule, Do .52. 16 the seconfi part is concerned with circumstances of referrals, inclufling someirsascn for referral and who macs the referral. The selection of flats was basefl on the assume- tion that the type of case referred.rnfl the nroblem at intah indicate the extent of understanding of agency function by the referral source. Questions such as agency making and re- ceiving referral and time between original intake and refer- ral were used. 3 agnosis as a factor influencing referral would, in turn, be influenced by the worker's ability to eval- uate and diagnose-oroblems. this would have an effect on the accurate recording of the nroblem at time of intake. This variable cannot be controlled. The "case," as used in this stufiy, is definefl to be the individual and the circumstances surrounding his situation in delinouency referrals. In referrals of denennent and nag. looted chilflren, the term ”case” refers to the entire family constellation as the basis of the problem. The dependent and neglected cases contsin from one to five children. The term "rroblem” is to refer to any situation, con. citioning, excerience, or task beyonc the client's ability to surmount or solve without the aid of casework. 'The classification of ”problem" by Catholic Social Service is the some classification the agency has used since 17 its incention and it is used in this stuay as follows: 1. I» 0 "Family“ — all cases rertaininq to orc— blema that tend to the dissolution of frmily unity or haotineas. (a) ”Yarltal" vrdclems - thoce probloms which tenfi.to weaken the marriage union. (b) "Parent—child” - Problems in which the relationship between parent end chllfiren is unhealthy for nor- mal growth of the child rnd.the haooinees of the parents. Infiividual Personality Aajustmants - Eifficultioa 1n adjustment because of personality factors that limit or block normal growth.
