Few juveniles were
arrested for violent
crime
There were 309 arrests for Violent Crime
Index offenses for every 100,000 youth
between 10 and 17 years of age. If each of
these arrests involved a different juvenile
(which is unlikely), then no more than 1 in
every 320 persons ages 10 through 17 was
arrested for a Violent Crime Index offense
in 2000. This means that about one-third of
1% of juveniles ages 10–17 were arrested
for a violent crime in 2000.
