Our nation’s youth face many challenges. Efforts to address these challenges require informed decisionmaking. Sound judgment in such matters, in turn, depends on accurate and reliable information. This is especially true when one thinks about the critical role that America’s juvenile courts play in addressing youth crime, protecting society, and reforming offenders. Drawing on data from the National Juvenile Court Data Archive, this report profiles more than 1.5 million delinquency cases that U.S. courts with juvenile jurisdiction handled in 2009.

This is a print on demand report.
