Looking at table 69 of the 2012 Uniform Crime Report the number of juveniles arrested for property crime was at 4,336 and robbery was at 1,155 in the state of Illinois. This shows that the majority of juveniles committing theft with the use of force is less. Because juveniles are still learning the ropes of life they are more likely to choose risk taking over playing it safe because they can see theft as the easy way to either make money or to obtain something. Another high rate of arrests among juveniles in Illinois are drug abuse violations numbered at 4,156. Because juveniles have more free time at their hands they have the opportunity to try out recreational drugs like marijuana and spice. Peer pressure comes into play also when there are parties being thrown by high schoolers who have access to drugs and therefore others who might not want to try using drugs may be forced to do so to try and fit in with the crowd.

It definitely seems that you're right about theft being a "crime of opportunity" so to speak. It's easier and it's possible to get what they want without interruption, which means less chances of getting caught. I also agree with the peer pressure regarding drugs. As I'm sure most people on here can attest, peer pressure happens to so many children on a daily basis on so many levels: drugs, truancy, sex, etc.. It's sad to see these kids exposed to such things, and if it's not at school, it's from the television and internet! DaBears123
I agree I feel like peer pressure has a lot to do with the drug abuse violations especially juveniles because they feel the need to fit in with their surrounding peers. And sometimes the music/tv industry can play a role because of what they listen to or watch can be deceptive to some youths feeling like if they do what their favorite artist or actor is talking about or doing can make those juveniles just like them. Rawr_BIL_123
I agree with your points you make about juveniles being more prone to experiment with drugs because of the peer pressure from their friends. I think this may be one of the greatest causations to juvenile drug use as well because juveniles are usually more willing to do things in an attempt to impress their friends. GoCardsGo_123
As I was navigating the FBI website, I clicked the "Persons Arrested," tab. I then clicked on "Table 32," on the right hand side. The title of this graph is the, "Ten Year Arrest Trends between 2003-2012." As I looked at the arrest trends for juveniles throughout the 10 year period, I noticed that the Larceny and Theft numbers were much greater than most of the other categories. In my opinion, these numbers are higher because juveniles look at petty larceny as something that isn't a very big deal. They believe they can go to any gas station or general store and just pocket an item they want and proceed to walk out of the store. In their minds, the greatest amount of trouble they will get in is having the store manager catch them and make them give the item back. I also think juveniles are more prone to committing larceny than a more serious offense, like murder, because larceny is also easier to get away with than a murder. GoCardsGo_123
I agree with this because Juveniles want to do something bad in the most easy way and that "easy" way is to steal something from a gas station or general store. Plus I also do agree that the punishment in a Juvenile's mind is less greater than if they were to commit a more serious crime like murder. Hunter123
I also agree that juveniles may think larceny is easy and might even view it as a challenge. I also think it may be tied in with peer pressure at times also. Similar to the peer pressure to do drugs or have sex. BeeRose123
When I got onto this site and was looking it over. The arrest table section caught my eye. when I pulled up this tab, they had a large number of information on certain categories for arrests. the one that caught my eye the most is the drug abuse table. From what I have seen weed or marijuana is the biggest factor on people getting arrested, mainly in the northwest region of the country and people are mainly getting arrested for possessing it. Rather than selling or manufacturing it. Yet cocaine is not too far behind marijuana in sales and possession in the U.S. Alone. Hunter123
You are right about the drug problem of possession of marijuana and cocaine. Marijuana is mostly used in the midwest according to the arrest trends report. The arrest trend will probably change because of the number of people pushing it to be legalized, but cocaine and other illicit drugs would still be a problem for the government and the community to take control of and for them to try and eradicate it is impossible if the sale is wanted. Runner123
I was thinking that meth would be close behind marijuana due to the boom in production and sales in the country. Especially since Illinois is next to Missouri and due to Missouri's geographical location and interstate system, it is a corridor for meth trafficking. Spartan123
When I was looking at the Uniform Crime Report I looked at table number thirty-two, the ten-year arrest trend. I found it to be very interesting that the number of juvenile arrest have dropped quite a bit in those ten years. One of them really stood out to me and that was the motor vehicle theft has decreased 69% for juveniles and then along with that 18 year olds and older have dropped almost 44%. Theses numbers tell me that there has been a lot of work of education of juveniles on the crime and that police are having a bigger present in some areas to help slow down car theft. I have seen that bait car show a couple times and while you get a good laugh with it, its seems to be very affective at getting car thieves of the streets. With the average dropping 51% for all ages in ten years is a very good number.USMCgrunt_123
Reading your post I am really surprised with the % rates dropping as well i would have never guessed that they would drop defiantly with as big of percentage as it did. But i can see that stepping up law enforcement and baiting cars can lower peoples thoughts about stealing a car. Jays123
I'm glad to see that things are actually being done to try and stop theft among juveniles. There is just something about it that draws them in to steal. It is good to know that the percentile rate is dropping. Things are looking up hopefully in that area of crime. Whatever precautions and actions they are taking, they should keep doing. bama123
I was looking through Table 69 and was looking at the numbers for juveniles in 2012. The violent crime numbers were 2,334 and the property crime numbers were 4336. Breaking these numbers down further: Larceny/Theft - 2,660 Other Assaults - 3,195 Aggravated Assault - 1,087 Robbery - 1,155 Drugs - 4,156 Disorderly Conduct - 2,401 These numbers show that these juveniles are submitting to peer pressure and I would say some gang activity. I wouldn't say that parents are not trying to keep their kids out of trouble, but the kids are choosing to take risks and take the easy way to get what they want. Having such a high number in the Drugs category, I honestly believe that the two largest drugs abused would be meth and marijuana. In both the Larceny and Drug categories, I would think that peer pressure played a huge role. Also the idea that these juveniles aren't attending school, aren't attending school on a regular basis, and/or have way too much free time which ends up getting them in trouble. Spartan123
"Idle hands are the Devil's tools" Was quoted to me some years ago by my boss's boss relating to some of the lower on the totem pole employees having too much free time and problems arising from that. I agree with you that too much free time by not attending school can lead to them getting in trouble. HappyWalrus123
Keeping parental involvement ( of some sort) is key to assisting into having a grounded sense of purpose and direction. There is only so much school faculty can do to help with this.
I agree that some parents are trying to keep there kids out of trouble but some kids give into peer pressure and there are some kids who will get things the easy way or at least they think it is the easy way. Peer pressure is a big part of juveniles getting into trouble. Also juveniles getting bored with no positive activities or positive role model also makes a difference. Some are looking for love in the wrong places and from the wrong people. dolphin 123
Parental involvement is definitely the key player in juvenile cases. I find it disturbing when the parents are setting their children up for disaster by not teaching them, showing them how to do drugs, giving the drugs to them, and also being promiscuous parents. Children who grow up seeing their parents do these activities tend to follow suit. As Doc White said it is highly unlikely one will turn away from the temptation when it is made readily available.BeeRose123
In my observations through table 69 relating to Juvenile offenses in Illinois, while violent crime appears to be lower than other offenses, with the exception of Drug Abuse. It still appears to be significantly higher as a percentage when comparing to the violent crimes of Georgia comparing their juvenile violent crimes.
Violent Crimes: Georgia 1,680 ( under 18) 13,663 ( total all ages) Illinois 2,334 ( under 18) 6,685 ( total all ages)
While violence may be lower than property crimes the number is still significant, drug abuse appears to be the highest at 4,156.
This information has me consider what combinations of underlying problems lead to these situations in Illinois youth. Peer pressure could explain drug use along with poverty.
One idea that pops in my mind with poverty and Biosocial trait theories is youth who may have chemical imbalances, or other mental health concerns may not have a family who can afford adequate treatment or come from a background that would recognize attributes of mental instability.
Most importantly is figuring out the underlying causes or conditions that help criminal activity in youth propagate. -HappyWalrus123
It would be interesting to see how much peer pressure played a role in crime. It would also be interesting to see how many juveniles kept committing crimes that were peer pressured for the first few. You are right that the most important thing is figuring out the reason juveniles commit crime. Zipping123
I read a few articles. They were interesting and i learned some things. Starting with table 32-10 year arrest trends robbery went from 2001- 15,946 . Than in 2010 it was 16,841. Suspension went from in 2001 at 620 to 2010 was 86. Drug abuse dropped. In some other articles i looked under Juveniles arrested dropped 23.5 percent in 2010 when compared with 2001 figures. In Data collections juvenile were considered as anyone under age 18. Arrests for juveniles for all offenses decreased 9.7 percent in 2010 when compared with 2009 the number of arrests for adults declined 3.7 percent. 74.5 percent arrested in the Nation during 2010 were males. They accounted for 80.5 percent arrested for violent crime, 62.4 percent for property crime. In 2010 69.4 percent were white that were arrested and 28 percent were black and 2.6 percent were other races. I was surprised to see that in 2010 more male infants were killed than female infants.The ages of 13-16 more males were also killed but in the ages starting in the 40's white males were killed more than the black males. I personally wish no one was getting killed and as for juveniles i think alot of it is how they grew up. Dolphin 123
I found that in 1995 18% of arrests were juveniles, and then in 2005 20% of arrests were juveniles. I was a bit surprised that it didn't go up that much, but I understand that it could've jumped a lot had I looked at a year later/before. I found it interesting that in 2005 that white juveniles comprised 67.5% of all juveniles arrested and 67.2% of juveniles arrested for property crime. The UCR states that black juveniles comprised 49.8% of all juveniles arrested in 2005 for violent crime, but I didn't see anywhere that said the white, hispanic, or asian percentage. It also seems that in 1995 theft was the leading cause for arrests of juveniles, which is similar to the juveniles of more recent years. DaBears123
I too would have thought that it would have gone up more than just 2 % but hey take what you can get right. Also I found it funny as well that they had a place to show us just how much of these juvenile defenses were being committed by the colored children but left out the whites and Hispanics. Seems pretty crappy to me. Saxophones123
I found that very interesting that the property crimes over that period of time has stayed the same. I feel that with a majority of juveniles not being able to drive and property crimes can be committed at any time and place, that kids just walking around can easily commit these crimes. It will be interesting to see how these crime rates for juveniles change or stay the same in the next 10 years.USMCgrunt_123
When I got onto the site I went under violent crimes and I saw that violent crimes had been declining until 2011. I then went into the arrests tab and it showed that more adults are committing crimes than juveniles. 21,693 juveniles committed crime and 2,334 juveniles committed violent crime. 4,336 juveniles committed property crimes in 2012. Juveniles in Illinois committed more property crimes than anything else. 4,156 juveniles were arrested in 2012 for substance abuse. With these arrest statistics you can tell that juveniles in Illinois are less likely to commit violent crimes and are more prone to be arrested for drug abuse and property crimes. This site shows that adults commit more crimes than juveniles. The adults are also more violent that juveniles in Illinois. Juveniles were arrested for 2,334 violent crimes. Adults were arrested for 6,685 violent crimes in 2012. These numbers show that adults commit more violent crimes than juveniles. Zipping123
I noticed the same thing when I visited the site. I believe this to be because violent crimes are done more by adults due to them being older. Violent crimes are "mature" crimes. Juveniles are more prone to more petty crimes like vandalism or petty cannabis possession.Whovian123
Getting on the site I went to violent crimes and looked at all the information and the table it gave me. Looking at the violent crime offense graph from 2008-2012 The number of offenses where going down every year except for in 2012 in increased a little. Then when i looked at the over view i noticed that 62.6% of these crimes were aggravated assault. Wondering how much of this was adults and how much was juveniles i went to table 34 which had the same years as the graph which was 2008-2012 and it actually showed that there are more adults committing aggravated assault than there are juveniles. The number actually were: Aggravated assault under 18 years of age from 2008-2012 40,794-26,437 -35.2% 18 years and older of age from 2008-2012 273,655-257,619 -5.9%. It shows the aggravated assault going down but since it is still over 50% of the problem i wonder how can we continue to lower this and even faster. Jays123
Taking a look at Table 38 you can see that Juveniles are partaking in a total of 1,020,334 offenses. From Murder an non negligent manslaughter all the way to curfew and loitering law violations. This number is not a very nice number to be looking at when you're thinking that these juveniles are the same age as your little sister. Thinking that someone just like her committed such a hateful crime. This number however is the tally from 2012 which was actually an increase from the 2011 tally. What are we as adults doing wrong is what I question myself. How can I put forth enough effort to stop these children from falling into these messes. Saxophone123
I looked at table 69 under the Persons Arrested tab. I was interested in seeing a couple of my favorite states records. Georgia's high areas of arrest were property crime with 123 arrests and motor vehicle theft with 94 arrests. Not to shocking to me as I see and hear about a lot of thefts that include juveniles. Alabama's high areas of arrest were property crime with 61 arrests and larceny theft with 50; pretty low compared to Georgia's. Lastly, I looked at Tennessee's key areas and those included property crime with 23,334 arrests made and larceny theft with 18,633 arrests. Big numbers there. There is a trend and it seems to deal with the theft part of it and property crimes. What is it that is drawing these juveniles to commit these certain types of crimes more than the others? I can also say that I'm impressed with Alabama's low statistics with juveniles. Go Bama! bama123
I found it interesting that aggravated assault was reported at being 62.6% of the 4 categorized as violent crimes. Thats more than half and way above rape, murder, and robbery. Seems like there is more assaults with fist or other personal weapon also. More assaults with gun use in the midwest than in the south, with more knives being used in the south than in the midwest. Table 32 shows under 18 persons arrested for aggravated assault has went down since 2003 by 42.7%. Someone is getting across to the juveniles, all the education is working to some extent. In a reply I had mentioned above, that the parents that encourage destructive behavior really gets under my skin, I then came across Table 33, reports showing that more adult females are driving under the influence, have had drug abuse violations, more robbery, burglary, larceny..There were many offenses recorded that adult females were doing more than men and more than in 2003. The numbers of drunkennes in adult females went up also. Makes you wonder if moms are not taking care of their home family life, or if they had just been overlooked and so to speak swatted and sent home in the past. Seeing how some women act when I'm out and about I'd say adult females have gotten wilder and the children are watching and learning. Sad really. BeeRose123
Looking at the UCR person arrest table 32, from the year 2003 to 2012 the numbers have dropped in all crime for juveniles. Looking through the stats, property crime was the highest which wasn’t a surprise to me because I feel that most juveniles get that “rush” from those types of crimes that are kind of like behind the scene and not face to face with the victims, although most of the victims are people that the juveniles know. Also another one that was high numbers was disorderly conduct. This makes since in many ways, juveniles are at that point where they are going to say what they want and do what they want when they want not matter what type of parenting they’ve received, basically they’re in that “reckless” stage. But it’s good to see that the numbers for the juveniles are dropping over the years and hopefully continue to drop as the years go on. Rawr_BIL_123
When I visited the site I noticed that more adults are arrested for violent crimes than juveniles. I believe this to be due to the fact that juveniles are more prone to more petty crimes. On the path of crime the delinquency phase is the beginning so in hindsight it is naturally made up of small time crime like vandalism, petty shoplifting, and petty possession usually cannabis. Violent crime is a more "mature" crime usually is performed by a more hardened person. I believe that current measures and juvenile programs are getting more effective and juvenile delinquency is decreasing over time. I also beleive due to the declining numbers in delinquency the numbers of over all crime will also decrease because there will be less people that begin to let alone continue to follow the path of crime.Whovian123
I also believe that juveniles are more prone to petty crimes. Juveniles can be easily peer pressured into petty crimes more than larger crimes. I think that this is a problem and that it needs to be addressed. Once the juvenile commits petty crimes over and over, it is more likely that they will commit violent crimes. Milly123
Looking at the number of officers who reported for the Unified Crime Reporting (UCR) Program I was surprised. The number of agencies that reported in 2012 was 14,006. The people doing that reporting for said agencies are the sworn law enforcement officers and civilian personnel. Not everyone reports for the UCR or there would be many more reports. The UCRs provide no insight into the variables of the different crimes. They just provide insight into the number of different crimes there are. This site is very interesting in that it gives information on the national, federal, state, county levels, etc. Milly123
Over the years 2003 and 2012 the table shows property crime is the highest crime. People are most likely to commit this crime because they see something they want and another person have. So seeing that as an easy target some will finish threw with it. Those crime are most likey commited in the area 1 or area 2 in other words where most crimes are commited. Its more under the age of 18 thats doing these crimes. I would believe its because of they're age that they would commit to doing these crimes. Out of Illinois and Georgia, Illinois has more under age criminals doing violent crimes. Yet Georgia has more criminal committing the crimes. Teenagers often dont really know about all the other things that will happen after they commit there act of violence. Older people will probably know because they been through it or just know because of past times. Illinois has stricker rules and regulations than Georgia, causing less people to do crime. SUPERCOP456

I too would have thought that it would have gone up more than just 2 % but hey take what you can get right. Also I found it funny as well that they had a place to show us just how much of these juvenile defenses were being committed by the colored children but left out the whites and Hispanics. Seems pretty crappy to me. Saxophones123
DeleteI found that very interesting that the property crimes over that period of time has stayed the same. I feel that with a majority of juveniles not being able to drive and property crimes can be committed at any time and place, that kids just walking around can easily commit these crimes. It will be interesting to see how these crime rates for juveniles change or stay the same in the next 10 years.USMCgrunt_123
DeleteWhen I got onto the site I went under violent crimes and I saw that violent crimes had been declining until 2011. I then went into the arrests tab and it showed that more adults are committing crimes than juveniles. 21,693 juveniles committed crime and 2,334 juveniles committed violent crime. 4,336 juveniles committed property crimes in 2012. Juveniles in Illinois committed more property crimes than anything else. 4,156 juveniles were arrested in 2012 for substance abuse. With these arrest statistics you can tell that juveniles in Illinois are less likely to commit violent crimes and are more prone to be arrested for drug abuse and property crimes. This site shows that adults commit more crimes than juveniles. The adults are also more violent that juveniles in Illinois. Juveniles were arrested for 2,334 violent crimes. Adults were arrested for 6,685 violent crimes in 2012. These numbers show that adults commit more violent crimes than juveniles. Zipping123
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing when I visited the site. I believe this to be because violent crimes are done more by adults due to them being older. Violent crimes are "mature" crimes. Juveniles are more prone to more petty crimes like vandalism or petty cannabis possession.Whovian123
DeleteGetting on the site I went to violent crimes and looked at all the information and the table it gave me. Looking at the violent crime offense graph from 2008-2012 The number of offenses where going down every year except for in 2012 in increased a little. Then when i looked at the over view i noticed that 62.6% of these crimes were aggravated assault. Wondering how much of this was adults and how much was juveniles i went to table 34 which had the same years as the graph which was 2008-2012 and it actually showed that there are more adults committing aggravated assault than there are juveniles. The number actually were: Aggravated assault under 18 years of age from 2008-2012 40,794-26,437 -35.2% 18 years and older of age from 2008-2012 273,655-257,619 -5.9%. It shows the aggravated assault going down but since it is still over 50% of the problem i wonder how can we continue to lower this and even faster. Jays123
ReplyDeleteTaking a look at Table 38 you can see that Juveniles are partaking in a total of 1,020,334 offenses. From Murder an non negligent manslaughter all the way to curfew and loitering law violations. This number is not a very nice number to be looking at when you're thinking that these juveniles are the same age as your little sister. Thinking that someone just like her committed such a hateful crime. This number however is the tally from 2012 which was actually an increase from the 2011 tally. What are we as adults doing wrong is what I question myself. How can I put forth enough effort to stop these children from falling into these messes. Saxophone123
ReplyDeleteI looked at table 69 under the Persons Arrested tab. I was interested in seeing a couple of my favorite states records. Georgia's high areas of arrest were property crime with 123 arrests and motor vehicle theft with 94 arrests. Not to shocking to me as I see and hear about a lot of thefts that include juveniles. Alabama's high areas of arrest were property crime with 61 arrests and larceny theft with 50; pretty low compared to Georgia's. Lastly, I looked at Tennessee's key areas and those included property crime with 23,334 arrests made and larceny theft with 18,633 arrests. Big numbers there. There is a trend and it seems to deal with the theft part of it and property crimes. What is it that is drawing these juveniles to commit these certain types of crimes more than the others? I can also say that I'm impressed with Alabama's low statistics with juveniles. Go Bama! bama123
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that aggravated assault was reported at being 62.6% of the 4 categorized as violent crimes. Thats more than half and way above rape, murder, and robbery. Seems like there is more assaults with fist or other personal weapon also. More assaults with gun use in the midwest than in the south, with more knives being used in the south than in the midwest. Table 32 shows under 18 persons arrested for aggravated assault has went down since 2003 by 42.7%. Someone is getting across to the juveniles, all the education is working to some extent. In a reply I had mentioned above, that the parents that encourage destructive behavior really gets under my skin, I then came across Table 33, reports showing that more adult females are driving under the influence, have had drug abuse violations, more robbery, burglary, larceny..There were many offenses recorded that adult females were doing more than men and more than in 2003. The numbers of drunkennes in adult females went up also. Makes you wonder if moms are not taking care of their home family life, or if they had just been overlooked and so to speak swatted and sent home in the past. Seeing how some women act when I'm out and about I'd say adult females have gotten wilder and the children are watching and learning. Sad really. BeeRose123
ReplyDeleteLooking at the UCR person arrest table 32, from the year 2003 to 2012 the numbers have dropped in all crime for juveniles. Looking through the stats, property crime was the highest which wasn’t a surprise to me because I feel that most juveniles get that “rush” from those types of crimes that are kind of like behind the scene and not face to face with the victims, although most of the victims are people that the juveniles know. Also another one that was high numbers was disorderly conduct. This makes since in many ways, juveniles are at that point where they are going to say what they want and do what they want when they want not matter what type of parenting they’ve received, basically they’re in that “reckless” stage. But it’s good to see that the numbers for the juveniles are dropping over the years and hopefully continue to drop as the years go on. Rawr_BIL_123
ReplyDeleteWhen I visited the site I noticed that more adults are arrested for violent crimes than juveniles. I believe this to be due to the fact that juveniles are more prone to more petty crimes. On the path of crime the delinquency phase is the beginning so in hindsight it is naturally made up of small time crime like vandalism, petty shoplifting, and petty possession usually cannabis. Violent crime is a more "mature" crime usually is performed by a more hardened person. I believe that current measures and juvenile programs are getting more effective and juvenile delinquency is decreasing over time. I also beleive due to the declining numbers in delinquency the numbers of over all crime will also decrease because there will be less people that begin to let alone continue to follow the path of crime.Whovian123
ReplyDeleteI also believe that juveniles are more prone to petty crimes. Juveniles can be easily peer pressured into petty crimes more than larger crimes. I think that this is a problem and that it needs to be addressed. Once the juvenile commits petty crimes over and over, it is more likely that they will commit violent crimes. Milly123
DeleteLooking at the number of officers who reported for the Unified Crime Reporting (UCR) Program I was surprised. The number of agencies that reported in 2012 was 14,006. The people doing that reporting for said agencies are the sworn law enforcement officers and civilian personnel. Not everyone reports for the UCR or there would be many more reports. The UCRs provide no insight into the variables of the different crimes. They just provide insight into the number of different crimes there are. This site is very interesting in that it gives information on the national, federal, state, county levels, etc. Milly123
ReplyDeleteOver the years 2003 and 2012 the table shows property crime is the highest crime. People are most likely to commit this crime because they see something they want and another person have. So seeing that as an easy target some will finish threw with it. Those crime are most likey commited in the area 1 or area 2 in other words where most crimes are commited. Its more under the age of 18 thats doing these crimes. I would believe its because of they're age that they would commit to doing these crimes. Out of Illinois and Georgia, Illinois has more under age criminals doing violent crimes. Yet Georgia has more criminal committing the crimes. Teenagers often dont really know about all the other things that will happen after they commit there act of violence. Older people will probably know because they been through it or just know because of past times. Illinois has stricker rules and regulations than Georgia, causing less people to do crime. SUPERCOP456
