Introduction and Methodology
This is the second report prepared by the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission1, as required by the Illinois Juvenile Court Act, to provide statewide data on the transfer of youth to adult courts and related court actions to impose adult sentencing provisions on certain youth. It contains data reported for Calendar Year 2017.2
Effective January 2016, the Illinois General Assembly significantly scaled back trial of youth as adults in adult criminal courts in Public Act 99-0258.3 In enacting these provisions, the General Assembly relied on a strong and growing body of research and data indicating that processing and punishing youth like adults harms young people and undermines public safety and community well-being.
As discussed in the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission’s report Raising the Age of Juvenile Court Jurisdiction4 (2013), the indiscriminate trial of youth as adults fails to take into account developmental factors like impulsivity, vulnerability to peer pressure, attraction to risk-taking and underdeveloped decision-making skills. These well-established developmental traits render adolescents less culpable for their behavior. At the same time, developmental immaturity makes young people highly responsive to positive, rehabilitative supports and interventions. National research also indicates that trial of youth as adults does not effectively deter juvenile crime and may in fact produce higher rates of offending and recidivism. In enacting Public Act 99-0258, the General Assembly has taken steps to more closely align Illinois law with this research and data.
In addition to modifying criteria and processes for transferring youth to adult criminal court, the Act also recognizes the need for current and complete statewide data regarding transfers and related court actions. Prior to the legislation, there was no state-wide repository for information regarding the transfer and trial of youth as adults5, the imposition of adult sentences pursuant to “extended juvenile jurisdiction” provisions (EJJ)6 or designation of youth as “habitual”7 or
1 The Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission serves as the federally mandated State Advisory Group to the Governor, General Assembly and the Illinois Department of Human Services. See 20 ILCS 505/17a-5. 2 The first annual data report, published in 2018, is available at http://ijjc.illinois.gov/sites/ijjc.illinois.gov/files/assets/Juvenile%20Transfers%20CY2016%20Report_FINAL.pdf 3 The Act repeals provisions for the transfer of youth ages 15 and under to adult court, limits other “automatic transfers” and expands judicial discretion in transfer decisions for 16 and 17 year olds, except for those charged with first degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault or aggravated battery with a firearm. The statute also establishes factors a judge may take into consideration when sentencing a person under 18, including maturity, presence of a developmental disability, home environment, trauma, prior criminal activity (if any) and potential for rehabilitation. (Public Act 99-0258; effective January 2016.) 4 http://ijjc.illinois.gov/rta 5 750 ILCS 405/5-130 and 750 ILCS 405/5-805 6 750 ILCS 405/5-810 7 750 ILCS 405/5-815

“violent”8 juvenile offenders (HJO or VJO status). Each of these mechanisms can trigger adult approaches to the trial and sentencing of youth. To address this information gap, the Act created a data reporting provision which requires Circuit Court Clerks to track and report information twice annually on the filing and disposition of these proceedings. 9 The Act required the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission to develop “the standards, confidentiality protocols, format, and data depository” for these reports.10 An explanatory text of the types of motions and proceedings this report covers can be found in Appendix A.
To fulfill this mandate, the Commission and its research partners at the University of Illinois Center for Prevention Research and Development and Loyola University’s Center for Criminal Justice Research, Policy and Practice developed standardized data collection forms designed for use by Circuit Court Clerks in collecting and reporting this data. In the initial reporting period, the Commission also sought and benefitted greatly from dialogue and collaboration with the Illinois Association of Court Clerks and the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to develop and test data collection forms and mechanisms.
In developing these forms and reporting protocols, practitioners recognized that the statute requires collection of information that no single criminal justice stakeholder – prosecutor, defender, probation department or Circuit Court Clerk, for example – has readily available in all cases. Thus, meeting the statutory mandates has required collaboration among justice system stakeholders and development of new methods for gathering case-level data.
This report reflects the data reported for Calendar Year 2017 and presents that information in three ways:
● The first section provides aggregated, statewide data on all proceedings to try youth asadults or apply Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction, Violent Juvenile Offender and / or HabitualJuvenile Offender provisions.
● The second section provides more detailed information on each of these categories(Excluded Jurisdiction proceedings, motions to transfer, motions for Extended JuvenileJurisdiction proceedings and motions for Violent Juvenile Offender or Habitual JuvenileOffender designations).
● The third section provides county-level information for those counties reportingproceedings in one or more of these categories.
8 750 ILCS 405/5-820 9 See 705 ILCS 405/5-822 10 Statewide transfer data will also facilitate Illinois’ compliance with the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act requirement for states to gather and report juvenile justice / criminal justice data at nine key decision points, including trial of youth as adults.

In reviewing this report, stakeholders should note that, while the statute requires reporting of victim and case disposition information, data reporting has not been complete or consistent enough to include in the reports. Information reported on race and ethnicity was also not detailed or consistent, with large numbers of youth categorized as “other race” or “unknown.” Finally, it should be noted that youth may be subject to multiple proceedings and / or charges. Therefore, the number of proceedings or charges listed may exceed the number of youth in some data tables. Where relevant, case information and individual youth information is presented. Gathering and reporting the required information was complex and challenging for all involved – the research team, Commission staff, Circuit Court Clerks and other state and local partners. However, the diligence and collaboration exhibited by these stakeholders has yielded unprecedented statewide information about youth subject to transfer and trial as adults in Illinois. This information can provide valuable information to policy makers and practitioners who seek to protect community safety, use resources wisely and improve outcomes for the youth and families of our state. This report is submitted by the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission in partnership with the Center for Prevention Research and Development at the University of Illinois and the Loyola University Chicago Center for Criminal Justice Research, Policy and Practice in fulfillment of the Commission’s mandate in Public Act 99-0258.
Acknowledgements
A special appreciation is extended to the various Circuit Clerks, State’s Attorneys and Public
Defenders across Illinois for providing data on filed motions to transfer youth to adult court.
Collecting this type of case level data poses varying degrees of complexity depending upon the
size and resources of the reporting agencies. There is no one system or database which
contains this data. Often times collecting and verifying this data requires multiple contacts to
Circuit Clerks and State’s Attorneys. Only through the collaboration of these agencies, their
hard work and due diligence in collecting this data is this report possible.

Appendix A
This report summarizes five types of actions a State’s Attorney may take to “transfer” a person under 18
years old to criminal (adult) court or to designate the youth as a “Violent Juvenile Offender” or “Habitual
Juvenile Offender.” This glossary provides a brief explanation of each of these action. These
definitions should not be considered exhaustive. More information is available in the Illinois Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 (705 ILCS 405/5 et seq.). As described in the introductory text, the Juvenile Court Act
was updated in January 2016 with the enactment of Public Act 99-0258.
Glossary of Motion Types:
Excluded Jurisdiction (705 ILCS 405/5-130): This section of the Juvenile Court Act provides that, if a
youth more than 16 years old is charged with one of three specified offenses, their case is automatically
“excluded” from juvenile court and shall be prosecuted under the criminal code. This is often referred to
as “automatic transfer.” The specified offenses are first degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual
assault or aggravated battery with a firearm when the youth is accused of personally discharging a
firearm. If convicted or a plea of guilty is filed, the Court shall impose a criminal sentence in accordance
with Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
Motion for Transfer (705 ILCS 405/5-805): There are two types of motions for transfer: Presumptive
Transfer and Discretionary Transfer.
1. A presumptive transfer motion alleges a youth 15 years of age or older committed an act
that constitutes a forcible felony and (i) the youth has previously been adjudicated
delinquent or found guilty for commission of an act that constitutes a forcible felony and
(ii) the act that constitutes the offense was committed in furtherance of criminal activity
by an organized gang. If a juvenile judge finds probable cause to believe that these
allegations are true, there is a rebuttable presumption that the youth should transferred to
the adult criminal court.
2. A discretionary transfer motion alleges a youth 13 years of age or older committed an act
that constitutes a crime under the criminal laws of Illinois. If a juvenile judge finds
probable cause to believe that these allegations are true and that it is “not in the best
interests of the public” to proceed in juvenile court, the court may transfer the case to
adult criminal court.
Extended Jurisdiction (705 ILCS 405/5-810): This petition alleges the commission by a youth 13 years
of age or older of any offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult. Upon a disposition of
guilt or guilty plea the court shall impose a juvenile sentence and an adult criminal sentence in accordance
with Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The execution of the adult criminal sentence
shall be stayed on the condition that the youth not violate the provisions of the juvenile sentence. These
motions are often referred to as “EJJs.” If a motion for EJJ is granted, the youth has a right to a jury trial
and, if convicted, the sentencing proceedings are open to the public.
Violent Offender (705 ILCS 405/5-820): A youth having been previously adjudicated a delinquent
minor for an offense, which had the youth been prosecuted as an adult, would have been a Class 2 or
greater felony involving the use or threat of physical force or violent against an individual or Class 2 or
greater felony for which an element of the offense is possession of use of a firearm, and who is thereafter
adjudicated a delinquent minor for the second time for any of those offenses shall be adjudicated a
Page 47 of 48
Violent Juvenile Offender (VJO). Upon a VJO adjudication, a court “shall” commit the youth to the
Department of Juvenile Justice until the youth’s 21st birthday.
Habitual Offender (705 ILCS 405/5-850): Any youth having been twice adjudicated a delinquent
minor for offenses, which had the youth been prosecuted as an adult, would have been felonies under the
laws of Illinois, and who is thereafter adjudicated a delinquent minor for a third time shall be adjudged an
Habitual Juvenile Offender (HJO). Upon an HJO adjudication, the court “shall” commit the youth to the
Department of Juvenile Justice until the youth’s 21st birthday.
