Description

Juveniles on Probation

Probation is a mechanism used by juvenile justice agencies at many different points in the system. It serves as a sanction for youth adjudicated in court, and in many cases as a way of diverting youth referred for a status offense or youth referred for their first delinquency offense from the court system. This section documents the number of delinquency cases that receive a probation disposition based on data collected through OJJDP’s the National Juvenile Court Data Archive.
