From the Community to the Courts: A Comprehensive Strategy to Address Underage Alcohol Problems in Long Beach, New York

Speakers: Judge Stanley A. Smolkin(Ret), State of New York, Long Beach City Court, Long Beach, New York; Attorney Daniel Grusenmeyer, Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, Nassau County, New York; and Ms. Patricia Hincken, Director of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, Long Beach Medical Center, Long Beach, New York.

Description: This program is the fifth in a series of audio-teleconference presentations produced by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE) and the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) in cooperation with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) with a focus on the relationship of the judicial and probation communities and the issues related to underage alcohol abuse.

Long Beach New York is located within Nassau County with a population of 1.3 million residents and is considered by many to be a drinking and party destination. Underage alcohol use and abuse is a significant concern of the community. County data reflected that 54.9 percent of 11th graders reported drinking alcohol within the last month, and 36.8 percent report binge drinking within the past two weeks. In response to the alarming nature of the problem, the Long Beach Medical Center formed the "Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking," focusing its efforts on changing the prevailing permissive culture around alcohol use by youth. The Coalition members include the Police Department, the School District, the City Council, the Courts, SADD, PTA, the media, the clergy among others, to bring about policy change on the local level. Our program will trace the development of the community response model and discuss how the medical community, Nassau County District Attorney’s office and the Long Beach City Court have worked together to address underage alcohol issues in New York.
