OJJDP has recently published a good summary of juvenile arrest rates, based on 2008 data – simply titled “Juvenile Arrests 2008”, the data shows that although juvenile crime continues to be of concern, 2008 marks the second year of a decline in rates of arrest in some categories and continues a 15+ year decline overall. Remember that “rates” adjust for changes in the overall population, so we continue to see a long walk away from the peak juvenile arrest rates in 1994. The data also provides information about how arrest rates in Wisconsin compare to other states.
