This document combines juvenile justice indicators in Wisconsin with county profiles, summaries of successful programs, and a list of county Youth Aids contact persons.
Abstract
The section on juvenile justice indicators consists of a series of tables depicting youth populations, socioeconomic conditions, arrest and court outcome data, out-of-home placements, and Youth Aids allocations by county. Tables are preceded by a brief description of the source of data, formulas from which numbers or percentages are derived, limitations on using the data, or caveats that should be taken into account. The next section profiles each county's juvenile justice program based on information obtained from the 1990 Juvenile Justice Resource Inventory. Summaries of unusually successful juvenile justice programs comprise the third section of the report. These summaries are organized by service category, such as early intervention and detention alternatives, rather than by county. The final section lists county Youth Aids staff contacts.
