Pennsylvania Juvenile Delinquency Data Analysis Tool


The Pennsylvania Juvenile Delinquency Data Analysis Tool was developed to facilitate independent analysis of annual dispositions reported to the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission (JCJC) by counties throughout the Commonwealth. With this application, users can perform unique analyses on the age, gender, and race of juveniles involved in these cases as well as the alleged and substantiated offense, legal representation, the use of detention, adjudication, case disposition, and placement type.

Use the Analyze Initial Dispositions tab to perform custom analyses of outcomes of initial case dispositions in JCJC's juvenile delinquency disposition database.

Use the Analyze Reviews of Dispositions tab to perform custom analyses of outcomes of disposition and placement reviews in JCJC's juvenile delinquency disposition database.
