Investigator(s): Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention The Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) was administered for the first time in 1997 by the United States Bureau of the Census for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The CJRP provides a detailed picture of juveniles in custody and asks juvenile residential custody facilities in the United States to describe each youth assigned a bed in the facility on the specified reference date. The CJRP reference date was generally the fourth Wednesday in October. Characteristics of the facility, treatment services, and facility population are also collected. Some state and regional agencies provide CJRP data for more than one facility under their jurisdiction. The CJRP facility inclusion criteria are: (1) residential facilities in operation on the census reference date, (2) public or private (or tribal since 1999) operation, and (3) intended for juvenile offenders (although some hold adults as well). Specifically excluded are: nonresidential facilities; detention centers operated as part of adult jails; facilities exclusively for drug or mental health treatment or for abused or neglected children; foster homes; and federal correctional facilities (e.g., Immigration and Naturalization Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Marshalls, or Bureau of Prisons). Inclusion criteria for individual-level data are: (1) youth under age 21, (2) assigned a bed in a residential facility at the end of the day on the census reference day, (3) charged with an offense or court-adjudicated for an offense, (4) and in residential placement because of that offense.Years Produced: Biennially since 1997, in odd-numbered years. (Note: The 2005 data collection was conducted in February 2006.) National Juvenile Corrections Data Summary The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention sponsored three series of national juvenile corrections data collections:Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities Series,Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) Series, and theJuvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) Series.The CJRP was administered for the first time in 1997. The CJRP replaced the Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities (formerly called the Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility Census series and also known as the Children in Custody (CIC) census), which had been conducted since the early 1970s. The CJRP differs fundamentally from CIC in that the CIC collected aggregate data on juveniles held in each facility (e.g., number of juveniles in the facility) and the CJRP collects an individual record on each juvenile held in the residential facility to provide a detailed picture of juveniles in custody. The companion data collection to CJRP, the JRFC, is designed to collect information about the facilities in which juvenile offenders are held.ICPSR merged data from the CJRP series with data from the JRFC series. These studies are included in the Matched Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP)/Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) Series.

Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics This series of studies contains a descriptive analysis of federal and state-operated adult confinement and correctional facilities nationwide. The census included prisons, penitentiaries, and correctional facilities; boot camps; community corrections; prison farms; reception, diagnostic, and classification centers; road camps; forestry and conservation camps; youthful offender facilities (except in California); vocational training facilities; prison hospitals; and correctional drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Variables include physical security, age of facilities, functions of facilities, programs, inmate work assignments, staff employment, facilities under court order/consent decree for conditions of confinement, capital and operating expenditures, custody level of residents/inmates, one-day and average daily population counts, race/ethnicity of inmates, inmate deaths, special inmate counts, and assaults and incidents by inmates. The institution is the unit of analysis. The Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities is produced every 5 years.

Investigator(s): Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention The Matched Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP)/Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) Series merges data from the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) Series with data from the Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) Series.The CJRP and JRFC files were merged to each other using facility ID and year in ascending order. Specifically, CJRP 1999 was matched to JRFC 2000; CJRP 2001 was matched to JRFC 2002; CJRP 2003 was matched to JRFC 2004; and CJRP 2006 was matched to JRFC 2006. CJRP 1997 was not matched to a JRFC file.National Juvenile Corrections Data SummaryThe Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention sponsored three series of national juvenile corrections data collections:Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities Series,Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) Series, and theJuvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) Series.The CJRP was administered for the first time in 1997.

The data is organized by: * open and secure youth centres/youth facilities * gender * former Youth Justice Services Division regions (Eastern Region, Northern Region, Western Region and Central Region)

Investigator(s): National Center for Juvenile Justice These data collections describe in quantitative terms the volume of juvenile cases disposed by courts having jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and dependency cases). Inaugurated in 1926 to furnish an index of the problems brought before the juvenile courts, this series is the oldest continuous source of information on the processing of delinquent and dependent youth by juvenile courts. It is the most detailed information available on youth who come in contact with the juvenile justice system and on the activities of the nation's juvenile courts. Information is provided on state, county, number of delinquency cases, number of status offense cases, number of dependency cases, and total number of cases. The data distinguish cases with and without the filing of a petition.Years Produced: Annually.

Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics In 1983, the National Prisoners Statistics program, which compiled data on prisoner admissions and releases, and the Uniform Parole Reports were combined into one reporting system, the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP). The NCRP evolved from the need to improve and consolidate data on corrections at the national level. Its objective was to provide a consistent and comprehensive description of prisoners entering and leaving the custody or supervision of state and federal authorities. In addition to the state prisons, the California Youth Authority reported data from 1984 to 2011. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reported data to NCRP from 1984 to 1996. Federal data are now collected by BJS under the Federal Justice Statistics Program.NACJD has prepared a resource guide for the NCRP Series.

This data represents youth admissions to custody and detention facilities and community-based programs and services. The data is organized by: * fiscal year * region (according to the 4 former youth justice services division regions: Central, Eastern, Northern and Western) * admission type * total count

The Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Youth Justice service delivery system provides community and custodial programs for youth in, or at risk of, conflict with the law, aged 12 to 17 at the time of the offence. The dataset is organized by: * fiscal year * number of transfer payment agencies * number of probation offices * number of open custody and detention facilities number of secure custody and detention facilities
