Center staff can provide you with the most current statistical information on any facet of the juvenile justice system and the youth served by it. If requested, a report summarizing those analyses can be developed. In addition, Center staff can advise you as to the type of data and analysis that would be most valuable to you.

The Center maintains a unique resource in the National Juvenile Court Data Archive. The Archive contains more than 20 million cases from more than 1,600 juvenile courts nationwide. The records are electronically stored and support applications that range from estimating future caseloads to analyzing reentry rates by type of referral offense to demographic profiles of first offenders.

The Center also maintains electronic copies of most of the other major national data sets that describe our Nation's youth and the justice system that serves them, including: county-level data on population, economic, and social factors from the U.S. Bureau of the Census; self-reported delinquency data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997; murder, reported crime, and arrest data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report Program and its National Incident-Based Reporting System; and data on juveniles in held in custody from the Children in Custody series and the new Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement. We have used these data in our own work and can advise you on their value to you. We also have the capacity to perform customized analyses of all the data housed at NCJJ.
