Abstract
Juvenile Court Statistics 2015 describes delinquency cases and petitioned status offense cases handled between 2005 and 2015 by U.S. courts with juvenile jurisdiction. National estimates of juvenile court delinquency caseloads in 2015 were based on analyses of 664,931 automated case records and court-level statistics summarizing an additional 25,329 cases. Estimates of status offense cases formally processed by juvenile courts in 2015 were based on analyses of 68,775 automated case-level records and court-level summary statistics on an additional 4,857 cases. The data used in the analyses were contributed to the National Juvenile Court Data Archive (the Archive) by nearly 2,500 courts with jurisdiction over 86% of the juvenile population in 2015.
