Juvenile Arrest Rate Trends |
Male juvenile Property Crime Index arrest rates generally declined since the late 1980's but female rates declined only after 1994. Rates in 2017 were at their lowest level since at least 1980 for boys and girls.
Note: Rates are arrests of persons ages 10-17 per 100,000 persons ages 10-17 in the resident population. The Property Crime Index includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. |
