2011-S6043 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S6043

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the executive law and the criminal procedure law, in relation
to developing and
instituting child-sensitive arrest policies and procedures

PURPOSE:
To establish, maintain, and disseminate policies and procedures
regarding child-sensitive arrest practices.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Amends the executive law by adding a new section 214-d,
requiring the superintendent, in consultation with the office of child
and family services and the division of criminal justice services, to
maintain and disseminate written policies and procedures regarding
child sensitive arrest practices. These policies include but are not
limited to: (1) inquiring whether an arrestee is charged with the
care or custody of a child; (2) allowing for the arrangement of
temporary care for the child; (3) education on how witnessing
violence causes emotional harm to children and how law enforcement
can minimize the impact of such harm; (4) information on the
availability of access to community-based providers of crisis
intervention, child protection, and other resources that could aid
the child.

Section 2: Amends the criminal procedure law by adding two new
sections 120.85 and 140.17, by requiring that state and local law
enforcement officers who are arresting an individual inquire at the
time of the arrest whether the individual is parent, guardian, or
person legally charged with the care or custody of a minor child who
may be at risk as a result of the arrest. Further, the arresting
officer is to make reasonable efforts to ensure the safety of such
child in accordance with the polices established pursuant to section
214-d of the executive law.

JUSTIFICATION:
A national study conducted in 1998 estimated that of parents arrested,
67% were handcuffed in front of their children, 27% reported weapons
drawn in front of their children, 4.3% reported a physical struggle,
and 3.2% reported the use of pepper spray. (Phillips, S.D. [1998].
Programming for children of female offenders. Proceedings from 411
National Head Start Research Conference. Washington, DC [cited in
report to the Oregon Legislature on Senate Bill 133(p.2). December
2002]). According to a 2010 study discussed in a report by the
examining the relationship between witnessing arrests and elevated
symptoms of post traumatic stress, children who witnessed the arrest
of someone in their household and had a recently arrested parent were
73% more likely to have elevated post traumatic stress symptoms than
children who did not have an arrested parent and had never witnessed
an arrest. (Phillips, S.D., & Zhao J. [2010].
The relationship between witnessing arrests and elevated
symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Children and Youth Services Review,
32 (10), 1246-1254. doi: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2010 04.015)


Witnessing an arrest can cause anxiety, confusion, anger, sadness, and
a myriad of other emotions in children. Most children do not talk
about this experience. Many develop negative associations with law
enforcement or figures of authority as a result. This can put them at
risk because they may not seek assistance from the police when they
feel unsafe or are in danger.
Further, their respect for the law and sense of right and wrong can be
complicated by their parent's arrest. This is particularly true if
they were not aware of their parent's law-breaking, if they witnessed
aggression toward their parents during an arrest, or if their parents
did not take responsibility for their actions, using language to
convey that arrests happen randomly or without justification.

By adopting and implementing child-sensitive arrest policies and
procedures as modeled in other states and jurisdictions, child trauma
and out-of-home placements can be minimized and the needs of these
children can be properly met.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Unknown.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law.
