A Survey of the Potentiality of Juvenile Offenders Becoming Conficted Felons
Abstract
This paper represents a statistical survey of the
number of children with juvenile records who became felony
cases in the adult court. The work is primarily a comparison
of the percentage of juvenile cases in the Juvenile Court
from 1949 to 1965, who eventually acquired adult criminal
records, to the total number of juvenile cases seen by the
court in that fifteen year time period. Since only a
limited amount of information was available for this study,
we have been restricted in the extent to which the statistics
may be further broken down. The study therefore
concentrates largely upon the crime committed, and the
disposition of the case.
