Abstract
Juvenile Court Statistics 2013 describes
delinquency cases handled
between 1985 and 2013 and petitioned
status offense cases handled
between 1995 and 2013 by U.S. courts
with juvenile jurisdiction. National
estimates of juvenile court delinquency
caseloads in 2013 were based on
analyses of 749,722 automated case
records and court-level statistics
summarizing an additional 44,219
cases. Estimates of status offense
cases formally processed by juvenile
courts in 2013 were based on analyses
of 75,411 automated case-level
records and court-level summary statistics
on an additional 4,820 cases.
The data used in the analyses were
contributed to the National Juvenile
Court Data Archive (the Archive) by
more than 2,400 courts with jurisdiction
over 84% of the juvenile population
in 2013.
