Source:Department of Juvenile Justice
Mode:Automated data file
Data:1. Delinquency figures are cases disposed.

The figures represent the number of cases disposed by Intake during 1995, which captures only those disposed cases reported to the Department of Children and Family Services by caseworkers correctly completing and submitting a "Client Information Form-CINS/FINS and Delinquency Intake." The Department of Children and Family Services, having a broad range of operations, reports information on other childcare services not part of the typical juvenile court system. Therefore, the number of nonpetitioned cases may appear higher and fluctuate more than those reported by other information systems that report only juvenile court activity.

The following is a list of counties within districts. District 1: Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton.
