OJJDP has updated its Statistical Briefing Book (SBB) with national estimates of delinquency and petitioned status offense cases processed in juvenile courts through 2019.
The SBB provides easy access to the latest data and resources on a range of juvenile justice topics, including:
- A Data Snapshot that describes the characteristics and outcomes of delinquency cases handled in juvenile court in 2019.
- The Easy Access to Juvenile Court Statistics data analysis and dissemination tool.
- Frequently Asked Questions about Juveniles in Court and Juveniles on Probation.
- A Special Topics section that describes the involvement of Hispanic youth in the juvenile justice system and details trends across racial and ethnic groups.
