Description: Juvenile arrests per 100,000 juveniles
Additional notes:
Arrests among young people provide a strong indicator of elevated criminal legal system involvement and overpolicing. This metric reflects arrests of juveniles (defined as those aged 10 to 17) for any crime or offense status. Because individuals can be arrested multiple times, the data report the number of arrests, not the number of individuals arrested. Though the National Incident-Based Reporting System is the best national data source, the FBI cautions against using it to rank or compare communities, because numerous factors can cause the nature and type of crime to vary from place to place. 2021 data should be interpreted with caution due to limited local law enforcement agency participation rates in the National Incident-Based Reporting System.
