Program keeps high-profile juvenile offenders under close watch

Program keeps high-profile juvenile offenders under close watch | Seattle Times Newspaper, Sept. 15, 2008:

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said the High Impact Offender Unit targets juveniles with the greatest number of arrests to ensure their cases are handled aggressively in court. Satterberg said the program is modeled after the agency's highly successful crackdown on car thieves.

"It [the juvenile unit] was created so we could work more closely with the police to identify juveniles who were either engaged in a spree of criminal activity or were worthy of our attention," Satterberg said.
