Foreword
This report provides an overview of juvenile court dispositions in Pennsylvania during 2016 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 depen-dency cases that have been referred to juvenile probation departments. While county children and youth agencies handle the overwhelming majority of cases involving dependent children in the Commonwealth, some juvenile pro-bation 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 organizations having an interest in Pennsylvania’s 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 attor-neys, defenders, service treatment providers, and other professionals who work on a daily basis in the Pennsylvania juvenile court system.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard D. Steele Honorable Kim Berkeley ClarkExecutive Director Chairman
The format and presentation of the data in this report are intended to help summarize various trends in juvenile courts within the Commonwealth. In addition to the graphs and charts, narrative is included that is intended to help readers more quickly recognize various statewide trends, as well as highlight information not reflected in the visual displays.
Please note that some 2015 data have been updated since the initial release of the 2015 Pennsylvania Juvenile Court Disposition Report. Those updates are reflected in the current relevant charts and graphs, as well as in the narrative on year-to-year comparisons.
The data within this report are generally organized in a manner that reflect the chronological processing of juvenile court delinquency cases, with the exception of pages 3-5 (Delinquency Dispositions through Frequencies of Statewide Delinquency Dispositions).
Within this report, some of the data are organized and presented in graphs by County Class to help readers make comparisons across counties of similar size and demographic composition.
While some county-specific data are presented within the body of the report, all of the raw data for each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties remain available for viewing. For each section within the report, please reference the appendices to review county-specific data on that topic.

Terms
This report is a compilation of the data collected from the juvenile probation departments throughout 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 of delinquency 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. 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 an allegation of delinquency. Therefore, the reader is cautioned NOT to attempt to interpret dispositions as the number of youth who are processed by the court or the number of offenses;
2. The unit of count refers to a case or cases disposed of by a juvenile court and/or juvenile probation department. The term disposed means that a definite action/decision has been implemented;
3. The statistical system is constructed to collect up to the seven (7) most serious offenses per delinquency disposition;
4. The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission collects additional information on disposition reviews, placement 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;
5. The data in the secure detention section of this report were collected in conjunction with the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s Secure Detention Monitoring Program; and
6. The tables containing rows with “percent of total” may not total 100 percent due to rounding.

• Youth whose biological parents were reported as “never married” represented more than 50% of all delinquency dispositions, while youth whose parents were reported as “married” represented 16.4% (page 26).
• Statewide, 47.8% of youth with a delinquency disposition were reported as residing only with their mother, while 17.0% of youth resided with both biological parents (page 26).

Median Time Lapse for Formal vs. Informal Proceedings by Type of Disposition, 2016
A formal proceeding is defined as a hearing held before a judge or hearing officer, after the filing of a petition. The time lapse is measured from the Date of Allegation to the Date of Disposition. An informal proceeding results in a decision being made without a formal appearance before a judge or hearing officer.
Statewide, cases handled through informal proceedings were typically disposed of more quickly than cases handled through formal proceedings (71 days vs. 102 days). The number of dispositions by disposition type are also indicated in the charts below.
Note: Does not include disposition reviews and placement reviews.

Selected Offenses, 2012-2016
Due to their severe nature, the following crimes are examined separately each year: rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and felony drug offenses.
The chart at the right shows the statewide total of the number of alleged rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, and felony drug offenses that occurred between 2012 and 2016. Only the most serious charge per disposition is depicted. For example, a disposition with an alleged robbery charge and an alleged drug charge would be counted in the robbery category. The Crime Severity key below shows the crime severity ranking employed for coding purposes.
There were decreases in the number of alleged offenses committed across all four crime categories between 2015 and 2016. Felony drugs had the largest decrease (17.7%), followed by rape (10.9%), aggravated assault (7.6%), and robbery (5.1%).

Secure Detention
In accordance with the Standards Governing Secure Detention, all counties report their secure detention admissions to the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission. Detention information was extracted from the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System and secure detention database at the Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research. The secure detention database is populated with data reported directly from juvenile detention centers each month.
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.
Secure Detention Overview
Codes Related to JCJC Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention Under The Juvenile ActEach month, all juvenile detention centers report a Statement of Facts and Reasons that must accompany every probation-authorized admission to secure detention. Below are the Section Codes related to this process.
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 206 - The child presents extraordinary circumstances requiring secure detention to prevent him/her from absconding. (Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to: the child’s age, character, mental condition, ties to the community, the nature of the child’s family relationships, drug or alcohol addiction, and substance abuse.)
Code 701 - Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of extraordinary and exceptional circumstances.
The Unreported category, as shown in this report, indicates that a code was not reported to the JCJC. Secure detention admissions that are authorized without codes are not in compliance with JCJC Standards.
The utilization of Codes 206, 701, and admissions with an Unreported code accounted for 44.0% of all secure detention admissions in 2016. The utilization of Code 206 decreased from 25.5% in 2015 to 22.0% in 2016. The use of code 701 increased from 6.1% in 2015 to 7.4% in 2016, as did the use of Unreported codes from 13.6% in 2015 to 14.6% in 2016.
Secure Detention Admissions by Standard Section Codes
In 2016, the overwhelming majority of secure detention admissions were authorized under the 100 and 200 Codes – 28.6% and 33.3%, respectively. This trend has remained constant since 2012.
Special attention is given to the utilization of Codes 206, 701, and Unreported. In instances where secure detention is authorized under Codes 206 or 701, the juvenile probation officer is required to provide a detailed written explanation of the reasons that necessitate secure detention. These codes were intended to be utilized in limited circumstances where the other codes are not applicable.

The following chart depicts the relative percentage of placements that resulted from new allegations versus disposition review proceedings. A disposition review is a hearing conducted by the court regarding a previous disposition which did not result in out-of-home placement.
The percentage of placements resulting from both new allegations and disposition reviews is shown for each county by County Class.
Statewide, over half of delinquency placements (56.8%) were ordered as a result of a disposition review. This figure, however, was notably influenced by Philadelphia, which accounted for 28.3% of all delinquency placements statewide, and where 72.0% of all delinquency placements were ordered as a result of a disposition review.
Across all other County Class groups, the average distribution of delinquency placements was nearly 50% from new allegations and 50% from disposition reviews.Philadelphia, Allegheny, and Class 2A are the County Class groups with a majority of delinquency placements originating from disposition reviews.

Total Delinquency Placements by Type, 2016 Including Disposition Reviews
Beginning in 2016, the collection of delinquency placement-related data was enhanced within the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS). All residential placement programs are now categorized by licensed service types, which are determined by 55 PA Code Chapter 3140. For the purposes of this report, there are three overarching service types: Community Based, Institutional, and “Other.”

Race and Ethnicity
On the following pages, data on race and ethnicity trends related to Juvenile Court dispositions are provided. A few points of clarification regarding the reading and interpretation of this data should be noted.
The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research collects data on race and ethnicity from each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. The collection of this data is done in concert with the protocols outlined in Guidelines for Collecting & Recording the Race and Ethnicity of Juveniles in Conjunction with Juvenile Delinquency Disposition Reporting to the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (National Center for Juvenile Justice, 2006). As such, race and ethnicity are collected and recorded as two separate and distinct sets of data.
Trends related to both race and ethnicity are presented within the following charts, graphs, and tables. References to racial or ethnic groups are defined as follows:
White Non-Hispanic reported as Non-Hispanic for ethnicity and White for race
Black Non-Hispanic reported as Non-Hispanic for ethnicity and Black for race
Hispanic reported as Hispanic for ethnicity regardless of reported race
Other and Unknown reported as Non-Hispanic for ethnicity and one of the following races: Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, Native Alaskan, Native American, or Multi-Racial; or race and ethnicity was reported as unknown

Total Delinquency Dispositions by Race and EthnicityIn 2016, White Non-Hispanic youth represented the largest racial/ethnic category for all delinquency dispositions. However, in comparison to the racial/ethnic distribution of all youth in Pennsylvania ages 10-17 the representation of Black Non-Hispanic youth is disproportionate: 14.0% of the total population versus 37.9% of all delinquency dispositions. When excluding Philadelphia County and Allegheny County, Black Non-Hispanic youth represent 8.2% of the youth population, but 27.9% of all delinquency dispositions. See Appendix 23 for the number of delinquency dispositions by race and ethnicity for each county.

Note: This data does not include dispositions resulting from disposition review and placement review hearings.
Since 1991, the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission collects information on dependency cases processed by juvenile probation departments. These figures do not reflect the total number of dependency cases in the Commonwealth. 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 reported dependency dispositions are shown in the tables in this section.

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 hearing officer was conducted, other than a detention hearing, following the filing of a petition.
