Its just telling us what crimes there in the United States and where they did it, how many people did those crimes and where in the united states they did those crimes. Also the juveniles could be living in homes with there mom, dad, and there siblings or they ran away and living with a friend or grandmother, or aunt or uncle or cousin. Also they could be just a nice sweet person living at home and going to school to get those good grades and maybe one day go off to college or they could be just a bad person and not care what there parents tell them and slack off and not go to school and just hang out with there friends in a gang if there in a gang. Also going to school and getting a good education is a really good idea if you aren't living in a bad negihborrhood or doing any drugs or hangout with any gangs. There are many people living in the bad side of tyown who are not going to school and who are poor and have to take care of the there family while there moms and dads are going to workl everyday and trying to provide for there families with a roof over there head and clothes to wear and a meal to eat everyday. golfer001
@ golfer001 You are right that some of these juveniles are left unsupervised due to parents having to work to provide for their children. But if a parent is aware that their son or daughter is involved in delinquent activity, how about getting a babysitter. Even though the child may be old enough to be left home alone they are obviously not responsible enough. Yes we can do our best to raise our children with morals and values, and still end of with a juvenile delinquent. Parents need to be more attentive and notice signs of change in our children, and get them the help they need before it is too late and they end of detained in a juvenile facility. None of us want to admit that our child may have issues, "it can never happen to me." But the facts are it is happening and can happen to all of. Regardless of race, socio economic status, our children can get influenced or in with the wrong crowd and now we have a juvenile delinquent on our hands. Mommy001
Golfer001, I agree with you on some points. some kids like to be experimental, they grow up in a pretty strict environment and do what they are told and get the good grades, but as soon as they are given a great amount of freedom, they either like to go off and be "adventurous" not realizing their consequences, and in the end will get in trouble. The environment is a very big factor that needs to be included in the statistics, because we are not always able to see what kind of home a child is brought up in. with the wrong environment, growing up in a bad neighborhood or with no one to look up to, a person can be forced into situations and become a criminal or delinquent. agentp001
I agree with mommy001. Kids will be kids and that means experimenting and getting into a little trouble. But if they are going out and continually committing delinquent behavior, then they should be under stricter supervision in the home, whether it be by a parent, extended family member, or a babysitter. Guardians need to be more attentive and monitor their children so they don't become delinquent youth. ekt001
Just another great tool by the ojjdp to compare statistics of juvenile crimes and where they were committed from state to state. Even going into so much detail to show what percent of kids were being held in residential facilities and how long they stayed in there. They also had a few really interesting graphs to read from 2013 talking about how girls stayed in these facilities not as long as the boys did according to the statistics shown. It is also pretty interesting to see how far back some of these graphs go showing data all the way back from 1997 in some cases which gives you a nice wide view of the changes from then too 2013. Its interesting to see how it breaks down how many juveniles are in private facilities vs public government owned facilities. The private facilities had a much larger youth population with a lot less serious offenses. Which brings up the debate maybe the private facilities are keeping them longer to create profits? Its interesting to read about the population differences from private to public residential placement facilities. Bike001
I agree with you Bike001 because I think anyone can go on the article and see what happened in their city and where it took place in their city and that's crazy how it goes state by state and the towns in that state. golfer001
This article it is every easy to read what is happening. The graphs show the stats that are even in the article and I like that because I am a number person. Overall, the article was every informative. bamboo001
Again another way to become informed on crimes committed by juveniles, across our country. However it again is also very alarming. It is very upsetting to myself as an African American to see that black males make up such a high percentage of incarcerated youth. Something needs to be done for these young black males who think there is nothing better to do than commit crimes. I wasn't surprised that girls are on the lower end of the statistics, even tho it seems more and more females are becoming violent. So I would be interested to see what this report looks like in the next few years. I still feel that there is a need for something to be done to help these juveniles before they end up in the juvenile justice system. I don't have all the answers to what that is but something needs to be done. The statistics showed a decline in juvenile offenses, so that is good. But if nothing is done to intervene how long before crime starts to increase?Mommy001
The race difference could be explained that most poor minorities live in urban areas where crime is easier to see and it makes it more likely for them to be caught, whereas poor white people are more likely to live in a more open rural area. Where there would be fewer people to catch juveniles committing crimes. I also hope that the younger people find better things to do than commit crimes, but after school an other community programs cost money, and the poorer communities often don't have enough tax revenue to support them. coolguy001
An informative website that shows all of the stats of who are committing crimes and what types are being committed. It is good to see that the states are trying to help these kids to become good adults. Children need a second chance, and most kids will learn from their mistakes. Some kids just do not know how to express themselves when they are angry or sad; they end up doing a crime that makes them into a bad person. Hopefully, all the kids that are in a situation like this learn that someone does care for them, and they stop making these makes. Not only does it hurt their reputation, but it also hurts their family because I know parents do not want to see their kid getting into trouble. I had a friend who used to do drugs and once he stole a car, but he did learn from his mistakes. Now he has a full-time job and is doing pretty well. He stopped doing all the drugs that he used to take and learned. Overall, these websites are every helpful and easy to follow. bamboo001
I like your post talking about kids learning from their mistakes. I think that a study to follow up the adolescence now as adults would be a neat perspective on how people truly develop. Because I believe that kids make mistakes some of them more serious then others depending on their environment. Dadoftwo001
The OJJDP always does a great job compiling data together about crime. It shows what crimes were committed and what age groups committed them. Its not surprising to see that the older a child gets the more crimes or the more serious their crimes become. It also shows that minorities are arrested more for crimes than the majority. Which is the case even for adults. This also shows that males tended to stay in criminal justice facilities more than females. This is probably because males tend to commit more violent crimes than females which usually tend to have a longer sentence. There is so much information and data compiled on to this document that it is almost hard to sort though. But the information that is on here is useful and interesting. sammO)))001
The OJJDP made another fascinating report giving us a bigger picture of whats really going out there. It is also really great seeing that the number of juveniles in residential holding has gone down about 50% since 1997. It would be nice to know exactly why that is. Could the police department be doing something different to cause the decline? Could the courts be giving the kids different punishments could they be taking it easier on them? Godzilla001
It was surprising to see how substantial the decline in the incarceration rate was for juvenile offenders. The decline was by almost 50 percent. It was also interesting to see the decline in juveniles held in private facilities had decreased by a greater degree than those held in public facilities. Even more surprising was how many more juveniles were being held for crimes against persons than were being held for status, property, or technical offenses. One would think that juveniles would be more prone to property crimes like retail theft than more violent crimes against people. It seemed that most of the juveniles being held were between the ages of 15 and 17 years old. They seemed to taper off at 18-20, though this could be because people of that age were more prone to being tried as adults instead of being adjudicated as minors. Another interesting note was how many females were being held for crimes against the person, nearly a third of them. It also seemed that more juveniles had been committed to a juvenile facility than had been detained which was surprising since one would believe that more people would be detained since it entails a shorter time of being held. It feels good to know that fewer juveniles are being held in facilities, it either means that fewer are offending or more are put on probation or other diversion programs outside of the ones accounted for in this report. coolguy001
this article was a very nice informative article. it talked about the statistics of who is committing what crime, which state it is in, and the age. it helps generalize what crimes are more "popular" and are committed more often. it was very interesting to see that the numbers can either spike up or go down between the census, and to see who is more likely to commit a crime. It is very saddening to see that the type of people committing the most crimes are minorities. To be more specific, the male minority population. the males usually serve out longer sentences, and i think this is due to the fact that males can grow up more violent. If there is a violent environment for children, they tend to be more violent towards others. I have seen it first hand. My nephew was raised in an environment where the father was abusive both physically and verbally, and it is still hard today to show him that being kind is the better route to take than violence. we have to teach children at a young age that they need to use words, not violence. all in all, a good read. agentp001
This article tells us what crimes are committed by juveniles in the US and where they did it, how many juveniles committed crimes and where in the US they are located. I found it interesting that they also included if juveniles were living in homes with parents and siblings or they were living with an extended family member or a friend. I found the graphs they included very interesting. It surprised me that females did not stay in juvenile facilities as long as their male counterparts did. I liked the range that these graphs had also, including data from 1997 to 2013 really paints a nice picture of what is actually happening. Ekt001
Totally agree with your statement, the data from 1997 to 2013 really helped sum up all the actions of what is going on. a lot of articles related to this matter wont have this much information. Computers001
Shows a great amount of statistics in this article. Had a more informative way of explaining certain placements in race commitment status but doesn't necessarily give a person to judge quick based on a certain races crime rate is higher than the others. It all depends on what that person did because having 20 first time drug offenders is a lot better than having 10 murderers. That's another problem that we have going on is people being too quick to judge. Overall this was very informative article. Computers001
I enjoyed the statistics of the article although the amount of information was intense! I am very interested in one part of the article why the numbers are decreasing when every authority on the matter thought we would have a steady increase in juvenile delinquency as the population grew. So I am excited to see the data 10 years from now to see how we have done as a society as we have morphed our idea on how to combat juvenile delinquency. Dadoftwo001
