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): Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention The Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) collects basic information on facility characteristics, including size, structure, security arrangements, and ownership. It also provides information on the use of bed space in the facility to indicate whether the facility is experiencing crowding. The JRFC includes questions about the type of facility, such as detention center, training school, ranch, or group home. This information is complemented by a series of questions about other residential services provided by the facility, such as independent living, foster care, or other arrangements. The JRFC uses four modules to collect information on the health care, education, substance abuse treatment, and mental health treatment provided to youth in these facilities. These four modules are not always collected each year. While not evaluating the effectiveness or quality of these services, the JRFC gathers important information about the youth the services are directed toward and how the services are provided. The census indicates the use of screenings or tests conducted to determine counseling, education, health, or substance abuse needs, and also examines prominent issues about conditions of confinement, including the restraint of youth and improper absences from the facility. Congress requires the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to report annually on the number of deaths of juveniles in custody; JRFC collects information on such deaths for the one-year period just prior to the census reference date. The census reference date is the fourth Wednesday in October. The inclusion criteria for facilities are: (1) the facility must house persons under the age of 21, (2) who were charged with or adjudicated for an offense, and (3) were present in the facility on the reference date because of that offense. JRFC does not capture data on adult prisons or jails, nor does it include facilities that are used exclusively for mental health or substance abuse treatment or for dependent children.Years Produced: Biennially since 2000, in even-numbered years.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.

Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention The Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities series (formerly called the Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility Census series and also known as the Children in Custody (CIC) census) was originally designed and sponsored by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and the later studies are sponsored by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The series is conducted by the United States Census Bureau. These data provide information on the population and characteristics of public (through 1984-1985) or public and private (1986-1987 and beyond) juvenile facilities in operation in the United States each February. Annual data for the previous calendar year are included as well. Residential programs and group homes were included in the census if they housed three or more residents, if at least 50 percent of the residents were juveniles, and if accused or adjudicated delinquents and status offenders were at least 1 percent of their average daily population. In California, however, all California Youth Authority Facilities were included in the census. Juvenile facilities operated as part of adult jails were excluded, as were nonresidential facilities, facilities exclusively for drug or alcohol abusers or nonoffenders, and federal juvenile correctional facilities.Years Produced: Annually 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 Survey of Youth in Residential Placement (SYRP) is the only national survey that gathers data directly from youth in the juvenile justice system. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) designed the survey in 2000 and 2001 to survey offender youth between the ages of 10 and 20. SYRP asks the youth about their backgrounds, offense histories and problems; the facility environment; experiences in the facility; experiences with alcohol and drugs; experiences of victimization in placement; medical needs and services received; and their expectations for the future. SYRP research provides answers to a number of questions about the characteristics and experiences of youth in custody including: Who are the youth in placement? What are their offenses? What are their family backgrounds? What are their expectations for the future? How are youth grouped in living units and programs? What activities are available in each facility? How accessible are social, emotional, and legal supports? What is the quality of the youth-staff relationships? How clear are the facility's rules? How clear is the facility's commitment to justice and due process? What methods of control and discipline do staff use? SYRP's findings are based on anonymous interviews with a nationally representative sample of youth in custody during the spring of 2003 using audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) technology. SYRP is the latest addition to two ongoing data collections that OJJDP designed and implemented in the 1990s. It joins the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement and the Juvenile Residential Facility Census to provide updated statistics on youth in custody in the juvenile justice system. SYRP bulletins, reports, and a simplified online analysis tool are available from the SYRP Project Web site.

These data, intended for use in conjunction with JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND ADULT CRIME, 1948-1977 [RACINE, WISCONSIN]: THREE BIRTH COHORTS (ICPSR 8163), are organized into two different types: Block data and Home data. Part 1, Block Data, contains the characteristics of each block in Racine for the years 1950, 1960, and 1970 as selected from the United States Census of Housing for each of these years. The data are presented for whole blocks for each year and for blocks agglomerated into equal spaces so that comparison may be made between the 1950, 1960, and 1970 data. In addition, land use and target density (gas stations, grocery and liquor stores, restaurants, and taverns) measures are included. The data were obtained from land use maps and city directories. These block data have been aggregated into census tracts, police grid areas, natural areas, and neighborhoods for the purpose of describing the spatial units of each in comparable fashion for 1950, 1960, and 1970. The information contained within the Block Data file is intended to be used to merge ecological data with any of the files described in the ICPSR 8163 codebook. The Home datasets (Parts 2-6) contain selected variables from the Block Data file merged with the Cohort Police Contact data or the Cohort Interview data from ICPSR 8163. The Home datasets represent the merged files used by the principal investigators for their analysis and are included here only as examples of how the files from ICPSR 8163 may be merged with the Block data.

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 purpose of the Census of Juveniles on Probation (CJP) was to collect individual-level data about youth on probation, including their numbers and characteristics. The CJP survey asked respondents to report the total number of juveniles on formal probation within their reporting jurisdiction on the reference date of October 24, 2012. For each youth on probation, responding agencies were asked to provide the following information: sex, date of birth, race, most serious offense, state and county where most serious offense was committed, and the state and county where the juvenile resided on the census reference date. This data collection contains the national data.

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)

This dataset contains: Key services measures - Custody Average daily number of young people in custody Average weekly number of young people in custody by Legal Status Average daily number of young people in custody by month Admissions to Juvenile Justice Centres Length of stay for young people in custody on remand Length of stay for young people in custody on control Proportion of young people with a remand episode who receive, or do not receive a Control order within 12 months

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.
