Juvenile Rehabilitation Institutional Population
Compared to Age 12 to 17 Population
- The decrease in juvenile rehabilitation institutional population reflects, in part, the decline in juvenile arrests for violent crimes over the past several years.
- Additionally, some sentencing legislation required that older juveniles charged with serious violent offenses by tried and sentenced as adults. This shifted some of the juveniles who would have been committed to Juvenile Rehabilitation facilities to the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections.
