the increase in applications from
the Police Department-dOes the
fact of the increase which you
have suggested was a result of
pressure of the press brought
to bear upon the Police Depart
ment, resulting in the increase in
waivers, in any way indicate that
the court in the use of its dis
cretiOn has not heretofore of
its own vOlitiOn, absent from
application by the Police De-
partment, not granted all of the
waivers that the court might
have granted? Would that be
a fair deduction?
A. I don't say that the court
has granted all that it might
have granted.
@. and that perhaps in not
granting waivers did not do SO
because there was no request
from the Police Department?
A. No, ] wouldn't say that be-
cause I wouldn't say that it is
necessarily the duty of the police
to request waivers. 1t isn't their
duty to make a recommendation
or a request.
@. The court has the discre-
tiOn and it is the duty of the
court to waive jurisdiction in
such cases as the court in its
own good judgment believes that
waivers should be granted? Is
that true?
A. That is true.
@. The fact that the Police
Department calls to the atten-
tiOn of the court that a waiver
should be granted in a given
case might be exceedingly help
full to the court?
A. I think it is helpful for
them to make requests and rec
concentrations.
@. Would you care to advise
this committee as to whether
or not in your opinion the United
States attorney might not be
helpful if he had some stand
ing in your court and were also

Questions and Answers on Juvenile Court Role in Delinquency

allowed to make suggestions as
to waivers?
A. the United States At
torney can make any recommen-
dations that he wants to make
to the Juvenile Court. I do con-
suit with him in a number of
these cases as to the desirability
of waving. I think the respon-
Sibility for making the final de-
cision must rest in one place.
@. Do you think it would be
right for the United States At
tOrney to take over a (juvenile)
case?
A. don't think that would be
right, because he doesn't have
the proper staff for investiga-
ton.
@. The United States Attorney
has the facilities of the Depart
ment of Justice. They have
more places that they (juveniles)
could be sent to; places that
might not be as crowded. Is
that the only reason these are
not waived? You don't think
the Department Of Justice can
give these children the attention
they should get?
A. I don't think there is any
single reason why they are or
are not waived. There are many
factors.
@. Let us consider the Depart
ment of Welfare. They are
granting public assistance to a
family in which there is mother
and several children, and the
father has abscOnded and you
have entered an order to the
father to pay $40 a week. What
information is available on that
case to the Department of We'll
fare?
A. The information available
is the amount of the order. We
are attempting (through new
bookkeeping SYSTEM to make
available the amounts that have
been paid. We hope we can work
it out on a trial basis, giving
them the information in con-
nection with the cases they
want.
@. You were undertaking to
try with the Juvenile Court Ad-
visOry COmmittee) to solve the
problem of the SO-calIed lack of
exchange of information relating
to truants. What is that prob
lem?
A. don't know that there is
any problem. and in connection
with that report (of the Ad-
viSory Committee) the commit
tee took that up and most of
the things that were mentioned
in there had been discussed and
worked out prior to that time.
The action was that the COM
mittee go back and check with
specific schools and check on
what specific problems they had.
@. The schools report to you
there is a truant. The boy is
out of school. / understand that
they can't find out what has
happened to the boy and he does
not come back. Somebody wants
to know. Is that a complaint
that is being made by the school
system?
A. I think I would like for Mr..
Palmieri to answer that.
Mr.. Palmieri. Frequent con-
facts are made by school prin-
cipalS and counsellorS in respect
to children with truancy prob
lens.
@. am asking, when a child
has been arrested for being a
truant and the principal wants
to know where the child is-can
he get that information?
A. AS a general thing, he
knows.
@. What do you mean "as a
general thing?
A. We don't have any routine
method of notifying the schools
as to what the situation NAV be.

think we didn't know what we
were talking about"
Mr.. Palmieri was asked earlier
if his workers conferred with
arresting officers or the man on
the beat who might know the
family He replied that 1--WE as
sumo the policeman has reported
everything essential" in the COM
plaint filed with the court.
Mr.. Palmieri was also asked
how frequently the court work
ers visit the homes of juveniles.
He said it was less frequently
than it should be and he haz-
arded a guess that between 25
and 80 per cent of the families
were visited regularly. He said
the workers tried to make at
least one home visit in each case.
He explained that workers
must travel by streetcar and bus
and get no mileage reimburse
ment for using their own cars.
Judge Cockrill on that score told
the subcommittee she had re-
QueSted mileage reimbursement
and it has been deleted from the
pending District budget by the
/ Commissioners.
Mr.. Palmieri was also asked
how often workers visit the
schools to confer with teachers
about juveniles.
"We don't do it often" he re-
piled. but we do it regularly"
Mr.. Palmieri recommended
more staff and facilities for
agencies dealing with juvenile
problems, a program to reach
out to the children for preventive
work, co-ordinated efforts
against problems which create
family disorganization, more po-
lice on the streets. more employ
ment opportunities for teen
ayers, keeping children out OF
jails, giving youth a participat-
ing part in programs created to
help him and more supervised
and constructive recreation.
Judge Cockrill, during more
than three hours on the stand
defended her policies of releas-
ing and withholding information
and took the view that contro-
verSy revolving around the court
stemmed from inaccurate rep

ment? Would you care to elab-
crate on it?
A. Well, 1 raised the question
as to why we were getting an
increased number. The answer
l got was the publicity in the
press. don't mean pressure of
the press on me.
@. You believe that the in
crease in the waivers related to
the increase in requests for
them?
A. That's right.
@. Do you get requests for
waivers from the United States
Attorney?
A. You don't have any of that
because our court is given juris-
diction for all cases under 18.
q. Have there been any cases
in which you of your own vO-
litiOn waived?
A. One since the first of July;
rape case.
@. We were discussing yester-
day type of case in which there
was more than one defendant,
some of whom would be subject
to jurisdiction of the Juve-
nile Court and others SUBJ
ject to the jurisdiction of the
District Court and why they
shouldn't all be tried together,
and that way avoid a double
trial and different kinds of pun
iShment. Have you any thoughts
on that or suggestions you want
to make to us?
A. don't think that would be
a controlling factor. I think
other factors might be taken into
account. You might have one
person under 18 who has never
been in trouble before, involved
with another and pretty hard
ened sort of person, shall we say.
I am not sure the District Court
facilities for treatment would be
comparable to what might be
available through Juvenile Court.

Murray told the subcommittee
"And there is no member of the

gard of sound legal and social
principles.
One of the most effective de-
torrents, he said, is adequate
police coverage by uniformed po-
lice. Certainty of apprehension
and fear of punishment, he said,
is an effective control on the
conduct of every one.
Chief Murray renewed his at
tack on the "steady diet of vio-
lent crime in the form of tele-
vision and radio programs. mo-
ton pictures, novels, magazines
and comic books"

gunmen and hoodlums has
amounted to not hero worship
but hoodlum worship in recent
years." he said. 1T creates the
sort of atmosphere that appears
to have existed in a recent case
at one of our high schools where
a boy, himself an intended vic
tim of a crime, was later as
saulted and beaten because he
reported the crime to school Of
ficials and police. This is what I
mean by hoodlum worship"
Chief Murray argued for pro-
viding facilities to implement the
Youth Authority Act, which is
designed to rehabilitate young
offenders past the Juvenile Court
age. He said it was generally not
desirable to incarcerate the ma
ture youth with more hardened
adult offenders but it was equally
/ dangerous to incarcerate him
/ with less mature offenders in an
institution without adequate
custody.
Explains Drinking Case.
! Turning to testimony earlier
in the week about drinking by
juveniles in Turner's Arena
Chief Murray said in fairness to
liquor store dealers in the area
he wanted the subcommittee to
know police had picked up the
leader and members of gang
of bootleggers who had been op-
Grating around the arena and
selling to patrons. The leader
Roger Wilson, has since been
convicted.

3. The court should be allowed
to waive Jurisdiction for offend
erS of any age. At present the
judge can waive jurisdiction for
youths of 16 or II who commit
felonies and for youths of any
age who commit capital crime.
Capt. Ryan cited a case where
two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-
old were involved in the same
case. He said he could request a
waiver for the two older boys
but not for the younger one,

testimony By Juvenile Court
Judge Edith CockriH before a
Senate juUenile delinquency
subcommittee yesterday:
@. This statement you have
read gives the impression
that there exists in the field
of juvenile problems in the COM
munity a rather constant argu-
ment back and forth between
various agencies and the court.
What is the cause of that?
A. Well, actually, I would like
to say that they have not been
constant arguments. A great
many of these things come to
my attention through the press.
@. May / ask what the cause
of this seeming controversy
A. The controversy in general
has had to do with irresponsible
statements of the inability to
get all the information they want
from the court. Frankly. I don't
know of any instance in which
a person who had a need for
information hasn't gotten it.
Most of this (criticism) is in
generalities and not specific.
@. May l ask you, judge, who
are the people who complain?
A. Well, I have read from the
papers that The Department of
Welfare complains that they
can't get the necessary informa-
ton. 1 pointed out that there
was a great deal of the same
about the inability of police to
get disposition of such cases,
again where no request for it
had been made
Q. You indicated that Chief
(Of Police Robert W Murray
had at one time said he could
not get the information he re-
quired. but that thereafter he
had been given the opportunity
to make another statement and
did make another statement.
Has he SO done?
A. No. there has been no
further statement on it.
@. Does he still complain?
A. He has had no complaint.
@. Has he ever come to you
with a specific complaint about
lack of information?
A. No.
@. Has Mr.. Gerard NJ Shea
(Of the Welfare Department.
ever come to you with a spe-
cific complaint about lack of
information?
A l have had discussions with
Mr.. Shea as to this information
prior to commitment and have
given him the same explanation
as to why the court has not
made it available. If you con-
slider that a complaint. then it
is a COMPLAINT.
Q. 1t is the opinion of the
court, then, that any information
concerning a juvenile should not
he given out until the court has
made a disposition of the case?
A Yes.
Q. And that because, judge,
not that you consider that nee
esSary, or to be right or wrong,
but because you believe that is
the law?
A. 1 believe it to be right.
@. Is there Tin the law any
prohibition which says that the
court may not or cannot or shall
not transmit any of this infOrma- =
tiOn prior to commitment?
A No. I think the law is per-
missive and not prohibitive.
@. Therefore, the court is
vested with discretion?
A. I don't think in that par
ticular area it is. I think that
is mandatory that you submit
the information at the time of

2. A youthful offender on
whom the judge has waived juris-
diction should be excluded from
further appearances in Juvenile
Court. Capt. Ryan said youths
who have been sent to the adult
courts and commit another Of

venile Court again. Once the
judge has waived Jurisdiction, he
argued, the waiver should apply
