David Crowley on Crime

 

 


NO increased placement in Serious Juvenile Offender Program

AB806: Relating to: acts for which a juvenile may be placed in correctional placement or the Serious Juvenile Offender Program.

Summary by Wisconsin Justice Initiative: AB 806 broadens the criteria for the Serious Juvenile Offender program--the kind of program most states have eliminated. We know that incarcerating more children will not help the youth nor will it make our communities safer.

Veto Message: I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to increasing the number of youths that could be placed in the serious juvenile offender program when science informs us that a punitive disposition system leads to worse outcomes.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Assembly 60-38-1 on Feb/11/20; Rep. David Crowley voted NO; Senate passed on voice vote (with three members recorded as NO) on Feb/19/20; Vetoed by Governor Tony Evers on Feb/28/20.
