summary of 3 pictures• Distribution:
– Most delinquency is "property" or household by all measures
– Upward trend in juvenile violence from mid-80s to early-90s, declining since
• Correlates and interactions– Age: "juveniles" in mid-teens are likely victims & offenders– Sex: males likely victims & offenders– Race/Ethnicity: African-Americans are most likely to be
arrested and victimized; especially for violent offenses (murder)
– Social class: the most disadvantaged are most often arrested & victimized,
– Group: most delinquency is done with others– Local picture: lower levels, but similar trends
