This report provides an overview of juvenile court dispositions in Pennsylvania during 2009

and preceding years, and summarizes juvenile court statistical data provided by county juvenile

probation departments. Without the support of the courts and juvenile probation departments,

this report would not be possible.

Although the report focuses primarily on delinquency dispositions, information has again been

included on dependency cases that have been referred to juvenile probation departments. While

county children and youth agencies handle the overwhelming majority of cases involving depen-

dent children in the Commonwealth, some juvenile probation departments provide services to

children who are alleged to be dependent on the basis of ungovernability or chronic truancy.

The information contained in this report is of value to all individuals, agencies and organiza-

tions having an interest in the Pennsylvania juvenile justice system. However, it is not intended

to reflect the total workload of juvenile courts or juvenile probation departments.

It is with great pleasure that we dedicate this report to the judges, probation officers, victim

advocates, district attorneys, service treatment providers, and other professionals who work on

a daily basis in the Pennsylvania juvenile court system.

Respectfully submitted,

James E. Anderson Honorable Arthur E. Grim

Executive Director Chairman

Foreword

This report is a compilation of the data collected from the juvenile probation departments in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

As in the past, to avoid confusion regarding the unit of count used in tabulating juvenile court statistics and to improve the understanding of how data can be interpreted please note:

1. The primary unit of count is the disposition. A disposition is defined as an allegation disposed of by the juvenile probation department and/or the court. Within a single delinquency allegation, a youth may be charged with a number of offenses that may result in multiple petitions. Any one youth may be involved in a number of dispositions within a calendar year. In addition, a youth may be referred on more than one occasion and receive only one disposition. Dependency dispositions include only those referrals to probation departments alleging dependency that are not accompanied by allegations of delinquency. Therefore, one is cautioned NOT to attempt to interpret dispositions as: a) the number of youth who are processed by the court; b) the number of offenses charged to juveniles.

2. There are times when you will see the word case used to describe the data. In this report, the word case is used interchangeably with the word disposition;

3. The unit of count refers to a case disposed of by a juvenile court and/or juvenile probation department. The term disposed means that a definite action/decision has been implemented or that a treatment plan has been decided upon or begun;

4. The statistical system is constructed to collect up to the seven (7) most serious offenses per delinquency disposition;

5. The Commission collects additional information on placement reviews, disposition reviews, and selected special conditions attached to a disposition. A disposition review is a hearing conducted before the court regarding a previous disposition which did not result in out-of-home placement. A placement review is a hearing conducted before the court regarding a previous disposition which did involve out-of-home placement.

6. The data in the secure detention section of this report were collected in conjunction with the JCJC Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention. This information should not be compared with detention data collected and reported prior to 1989.

7. The reader is cautioned that in the tables containing rows with percent of total, the row may not total 100 percent due to rounding.

Custom reports, including any information contained in tables included in previous reports that are not included in this report, can be obtained by contacting the Director of Juvenile Justice Information and Technology at the Center for Juvenile Justice Training & Research at Shippensburg University, 717-477-1412. The report is available on the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission website at www.jcjc.state.pa.us.

Delinquency Dispositions by source of allegation, 2009 continued




Time lapse from allegation to Disposition for Delinquency Cases, 2009

Time lapse information is calculated from the date of allegation to the date of disposition. Disposition reviews, placement reviews, and dependency cases are not included. Dispositions are grouped into one of two categories: formal or informal. A disposition is counted in the formal category if a date was reported in the Date of Hearing field indicating that a hearing before a judge or master was conducted.

alleged Offenses by Type, 2009

Beginning with the 1997 juvenile court dispositions, the seven most serious charges per disposition were collected. This is an increase from four charges per disposition in previous years. For this reason, the reader is cautioned not to compare the 2009 charge information shown on pages 30, 31, 34 and 35 to reports prior to 1997.

Property Offenses represented 29.7% of all alleged offenses in 2009. Offenses against persons comprised 28.5% of all alleged offenses, while drug offenses accounted for 14.8%. Other offenses accounted for 27.0% of all alleged offenses.

substantiated Offenses by Type, 2009 continued

NOTE: Includes most serious seven offenses and counts reported on each case.



The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s “Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention Under the Juvenile Act” were developed to guide decision making regarding juvenile detention usage in Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system. Compliance with these standards is required for counties participating in the Commission’s Grant-in-Aid Program, with the exception of Philadelphia.

Detention information appearing in this Disposition Report was extracted from the secure detention database at the Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research. In accordance with the Standards Governing Secure Detention, all counties, except Philadelphia, report their secure detention use to the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission. This is accomplished statewide through the detention centers. Each month, all juvenile detention centers, with the exception of the Youth Study Center in Philadelphia, report their detention admissions along with the Statement of Facts and Reasons that must accompany every probation-authorized admission to secure detention. Philadelphia County is not included in this reporting system.

When interpreting the data contained in these tables, the reader should note the following:

1. The unit of count is the admission of a juvenile to a secure detention center;

2. A juvenile who is admitted to a secure detention center and subsequently transferred to another secure detention center without release is counted as two admissions.

Codes Related to Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention Under The Juvenile Act

100 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of an alleged offense or on the basis of an alleged offense and the child’s current status with the court or prior record.

200 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of a child’s status as an absconder or fugitive; on the basis of a child’s record of failing to appear at previous juvenile proceedings; or because of extraordinary circumstances which require secure detention to prevent a child from absconding.

300 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the written request of the child or child’s attorney.

400 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be ordered pending disposition, subsequent to a finding that a child committed a delinquent act or is a delinquent child.

500 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be ordered following disposition pending transfer to placement.

600 Codes Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of the child’s status, pending or subsequent to a disposition review proceeding.

Code 701 Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of extraordinary and exceptional circumstances.

Dependency Dispositions, 2009


In 1991, the Commission began collecting information on dependency cases that are processed by juvenile probation departments. These figures do not reflect the total number of dependency cases in the Commonwealth, nor do they represent the total number of dependency cases handled by juvenile probation departments. A dependency case is defined as a new referral that is processed by the juvenile probation department and that does not have accompanying delinquency allegations.

Only the counties that report dependency dispositions are shown in the tables in this section.
