* Includes criminal homicide, violent sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault. ** Includes burglary, theft, auto theft, and arson. Note: The rate is the number of youth in residential placement per 100,000 youth ages 10 through the upper age of original juvenile court jurisdiction in each State. Note: U.S. total includes 4,242 youth in private facilities for whom State of offense was not reported and a handful of youth who committed their offense in a U.S. Territory but were being held in a U.S. mainland facility. Visit the EZACJRP methods section for more information about unknown state of offense. Note: Until 2006, the CJRP collected 6 detailed race/ethnicity categories (White, Black, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) and "other." In 2006, the CJRP data collection form replaced the "other" category with "Two or more Races" (labeled as "more than one race" in this application). For the period 1997-2007, rates for youth identified as "other" race or "more than one race" are not presented because there is no comparable reference population available. Rates are available for the "more than one race" category beginning with 2010. Note: Detained youth include those held awaiting a court hearing, adjudication, disposition or placement elsewhere. Note: The "Hispanic" category includes persons of Latin American or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. These persons are not included in the other race/ethnicity categories. American Indian includes Alaksa Native; Asian includes Pacific Islander. Suggested citation: Puzzanchera, C., Sladky, T.J., and Kang, W.
