The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, June 5, 1984 - Page 1 High court upholds N.Y. detention rule WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court, in its first extensive examination of the controversy over preventive detention, ruled' yesterday that juveniles may be jailed prior to trial if they are judged likely to commit crimes while awaiting a court hearing. In a 6-3 decision that reinstated New York's Family Court Act, Justice William Rehnquist said the law "serves the legitimate state objective, held in common with every state in the country of protecting both the juvenile and society from, the hazards of pretrial crime." NEW YORK'S law was challenged by three youngsters, all 14 at the time they were charged with serious offenses in New York City. The law, applying to youngsters aged 7 to 16, requires a family court judge to determine whether there is a "serious risk" that a juvenile arrested for any offense will commit a crime before he or she is due to appear in court for a hearing. If so, the judge may order the juvenile held in custody, pending a hearing, for three days for less serious crimes and for up to 17 days for more serious offenses. IRONICALLY, youths accused of the most serious crimes - murder, for example - are taken out of the juvenile court system in New York and thus generally may not be held without bail before trial. The justices overturned a ruling that New York's detention law is a form of punishment before any decision is made as to guilt. The ruling does not apply to preven- tive detention for adults, a proposal the Reagan administration has been pushing in Congress. BUT REHNQUIST hinted that the rationale for the pretrial detention for juveniles could be used against adults as well. "From a legal point of view, there is nothing inherently unattainable about a prediction of future criminal conduct," he said. Rehnquist said the high court in the past has rejected claims by some sociologists that it is impossible to predict violent, criminal or anti-social behavior. In support of pretrial detention for juveniles, law enforcement officials say that young people account for a big share of crime in America.

In 1978-79, the latest four years for which figures are available, 936, or 57.9% of 1614 applicants were granted residency. "I could probably tell you more about the residency policy than anyone at this University," Casad remarked. "I know now what it takes. I only found out after six years of trauma." THROUGH FRIENDS familiar with his situation, "I merely told them what not to do. If the (residence committee) can't find anything to latch onto, chances are they'll grant your residence." According to the University's residence regulations, to merit reclassification a student must reside in Michigan for one year prior to applying, demonstrate that any previous domicile has been abandoned, and intend to make the state of Michigan a permanent home. Although every application for residency is unique, Casad points out that a student's reason for coming to Michigan is an important factor in the review process. "If you came just to go to school, they'll probably turn you down. I told (the people who came to me) to say they abhor the 'U', but that they live in Michigan and there's no place else to go to school."
