Data Analysis Tools

With support from OJJDP, the National Center for Juvenile Justice has developed a family of data analysis and dissemination tools that give users quick and easy access to detailed statistics on a variety of juvenile justice topics. Three such applications provide access to juvenile court data:

Easy Access to Juvenile Court Statistics (1985-2004) lets users access data on juvenile court processing of more than 30 million delinquency cases, including information on the age, sex, and race of juveniles involved, the use of detention, adjudication and disposition. Resulting tables can be saved and imported into spreadsheet software for further analysis.
Juvenile Court Statistics Databook provides convenient access to national estimates of the more than 30 million delinquency cases processed by the nation's juvenile courts between 1985 and 2004. With this application, users can view pre-formatted tables describing the demographic characteristics of youth involved in the juvenile justice system and how juvenile courts process these cases.
Easy Access to State and County Juvenile Court Case Counts gives users quick access to State and county juvenile court case counts for delinquency, status offense, and dependency cases.
