Juvenile Court Statistics, 2022

The National Center for Juvenile Justice [ [link removed] ] has released ""Juvenile Court Statistics 2022 [ [link removed] ]."" This report describes delinquency and petitioned status offense cases handled in U.S. courts with jurisdiction over juvenile populations between 2005 and 2022.

Characteristics are presented on an estimated 549,500 delinquency cases and 62,000 petitioned status offense cases handled in 2022. The report also tracks caseload trends from 2005 to 2022. Data include case counts and rates, juvenile demographics, and offenses charged.

Key findings include:


* In 2022, juvenile courts handled about 1,500 delinquency cases per day.
* Though delinquency caseloads increased in 2022, the number of cases was below pre-pandemic levels for all offenses.

This report draws on data from the National Juvenile Court Data Archive, funded by OJJDP and managed by the National Institute of Justice.
