What is this Indicator?
This indicator gives the number of juvenile violent crime arrests per 100,000 population aged 10 to 17. |
| Why this is important: Violence disproportionately impacts youth, and is the second leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24. Juveniles enter the juvenile justice system most often through law enforcement (i.e., arrest). Often, law enforcement statistics are used as to examine trends in juvenile crime and offending. The goal of the juvenile justice system is to increase public safety by reducing juvenile delinquency through effective prevention, intervention and treatment services. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the Florida state value. |
