Foreword

The format and presentation of the data in this report are intended to help summarize various juvenile court trends within the Commonwealth. In addition to the

graphs and charts, narrative is included to help readers more quickly recognize various statewide trends, as well as highlight information not reflected in the

visual displays.

The data within this year’s report are generally organized in a manner that reflect the chronological processing of juvenile court delinquency cases, from

allegation through disposition.

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.

Raw data for each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties are available within the appendices.

The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) is pleased to present the third edition of its Juvenile Court Annual Report. Prior to the publication of the

2017 report, Pennsylvania juvenile court statistics were presented in a yearly series entitled Pennsylvania Juvenile Court Dispositions. The series, which

ran from 1972 to 2016, focused primarily on juvenile court dispositions.

Beginning in 2017, the annual report has been enhanced to include additional juvenile court statistics to better measure and quantify work across the

state by juvenile justice professionals. Specifically, information related to delinquency allegations received by each juvenile probation department is

included. Key indicators including the volume of allegations received, allegation sources, and the most serious alleged offense by youth are presented.

This information is critical to understanding who is entering Pennsylvania’s juvenile court system. It is anticipated this report will continue to evolve over

time and will eventually include additional measures of juvenile justice workflow in Pennsylvania. Juvenile delinquency dispositions continue to be

summarized in this report, as in the past.

New for this year, the detention data within this report was extracted directly from the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS). Prior to

2019, this data was received from juvenile detention centers and included a significant number of unreported detention codes. By using data taken

directly from PaJCMS, the number of unreported detention section codes decreased from 16.0% in 2018 to 0.5% in 2019, providing a more accurate

reflection of secure detention utilization.

The JCJC would like to extend its deepest appreciation to the juvenile courts and juvenile probation departments across the Commonwealth. Without their

support, this report would not be possible. It is with great pleasure that we dedicate this report to the judges, probation officers, victim advocates, district

attorneys, defenders, service providers, and other professionals who work on a daily basis in the Pennsylvania juvenile court system.

Respectfully submitted,

Richard D. Steele Honorable Kim Berkeley Clark

Executive Director Chair

2 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Chapter 1 - Incoming Cases

Section 1: Delinquency Allegations

1. The unit of count for this section is a written allegation. A written allegation is the document submitted by a law enforcement officer or other person to allege a juvenile has committed an act of delinquency. Multiple allegations may result in a single disposition. Allegations are synonymous with the term ‘case’ in the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS).

2. Written allegations in this section were filed with a juvenile probation department between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.

3. In Pennsylvania, juvenile court jurisdiction extends over individuals who have been alleged to have committed a delinquent act, as defined by 42. Pa. C. S. § 6301 et seq., on or after their tenth birthday and prior to reaching eighteen years of age. Juvenile court supervision can extend until the individual is twenty-one years of age if the individual is currently under supervision. Age for purposes of this section was calculated from the juvenile’s date of birth to the date of the offense in the written allegation.

4. Data for this report were compiled from PaJCMS on March 6, 2020. Any delinquency allegations received by a juvenile probation department in

2019, and entered into PaJCMS after this date, will not be included in these statistics. The numbers published in this report, therefore, may not reflect current numbers within the system.

7 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Delinquency Allegations by Gender, 2019 Juvenile delinquency allegations in Pennsylvania primarily involve

males. In 2019, approximately three in four (74.1%) delinquency

allegations submitted to juvenile probation departments involved

males, while approximately one in four (25.9%) involved females.

Delinquency Allegations by Race and Ethnicity, 2019 In 2019, White Non-Hispanic youth represented the largest racial/ethnic category for all

delinquency allegations.

However, in comparison to the racial/ethnic distribution of all youth in Pennsylvania

aged 10-17, the representation of Black Non-Hispanic youth is disproportionate: 14.2%

of the total population versus 38.1% of all delinquency allegations.*

When excluding Philadelphia County and Allegheny County, Black Non-Hispanic youth

represent 8.4% of the youth population, but 29.3% of all delinquency allegations. See

Appendix 4 for the number of delinquency allegations by race and ethnicity for each

county.

12 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Section 2: Secure Detention In accordance with the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s Standards Governing Secure Detention, all counties report their secure detention admissions

to the Commission. Beginning this year, the detention data was extracted from the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS). Prior to

2019, this data was extracted from the secure detention database at the Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research, which was populated with data

reported directly from juvenile detention centers each month. With this change, there has been a large decrease in the number of Unknown/Other secure

detention section codes, as noted on page 16.

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 JCJC Standards Governing the Use of Secure Detention Under the Juvenile Act Each 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 701 Circumstances under which secure detention may be authorized on the basis of extraordinary and exceptional circumstances.

15 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Secure Detention Admissions by Standard Section Codes, 2019 In 2019, the majority of secure detention admissions were authorized under the 100 and 200 Codes – 34.9% and 29.6%, respectively. This trend has

remained constant since 2015.

Special attention is given to the utilization of Codes 206, 701, and Unknown/Other. 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.

16 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Secure Detention Admissions by Standard Section Codes, 2015-2019 The utilization of Codes 206, 701, and admissions with an Unknown/Other code accounted for 22.6% of all secure detention admissions in 2019. The utilization of

Code 206 decreased from 21.0% in 2018 to 12.8% in 2019, as did the use of Unknown/Other codes from 16.0% in 2018 to 0.5% in 2019*. The use of Code 701

increased from 8.1% in 2018 to 9.3% in 2019.

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.

*Unknown/Other - As reported in the secure detention

introduction, the 2019 secure detention admission data was

extracted from PaJCMS. This data was validated for accuracy,

which resulted in the Unknown/Other code decrease. For the

majority of 2019 cases, the county reported the detention

admissions were handled via a court order during a hearing, and

no secure detention code was appropriate under these

circumstances.

Chapter 2 - Juvenile Court Processing

Section 1: Delinquency Dispositions

1. The unit of count for this section of the report is the disposition. A disposition is defined as an allegation of delinquency disposed of by the juvenile probation department and/or the court. Any one youth may be involved in a number of dispositions within a calendar year containing multiple allegations. In addition, a youth may be referred on more than one occasion and receive only one disposition. 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. Dispositions in this section occurred between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.

2. In Pennsylvania, juvenile court jurisdiction extends over individuals who have been alleged to have committed a delinquent act, as defined by 42. Pa. C. S. § 6301 et seq., on or after their tenth birthday and prior to reaching eighteen years of age. Juvenile court supervision can extend until the individual is twenty-one years of age if the individual is currently under supervision. Age for purposes of this section was calculated from the juvenile’s date of birth to the date of the offense in the written allegation.

3. Only the most serious delinquency offense is captured in the delinquency disposition data.

4. Data for this report were compiled from the Pennsylvania Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS) on March 6, 2020. Any delinquency dispositions received by a juvenile probation department in 2019, and entered into PaJCMS after this date, will not be included in these statistics. The numbers published in this report, therefore, may not reflect current numbers within the system.

5. Dispositions of pending, deferred, and termination of court supervision/case closed, not court ordered, are not included in these statistics.

6. The unit of disposition count was modified in the 2017 report to more accurately reflect the outcomes of delinquency allegations. If two allegations were disposed of on the same date, and resulted in the same disposition, these were counted as one disposition. If two allegations were disposed of on the same date, but had two different dispositions, these were counted as two dispositions. The reader is cautioned NOT to compare this year’s disposition figures to reports prior to 2017. All trend data were updated within this report using the updated disposition count logic.

Section 3: 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

32 2019 Juvenile Court Annual Report

Total Delinquency Dispositions by Race and Ethnicity, 2019 In 2019, 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: 14.2% of the total

population versus 37.6% of all delinquency dispositions. When excluding Philadelphia County and Allegheny County, Black Non-Hispanic youth represent

8.4% of the youth population, but 28.2% of all delinquency dispositions. Please see Appendix 25 for the number of delinquency dispositions by race and

ethnicity for each county.

New Allegation Placements vs. Disposition Review Placements, 2019

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.

Over half of delinquency placements statewide (52.6%) were ordered as

a result of a disposition review. This figure, however, was notably

influenced by Philadelphia, which accounted for 17.5% of all

delinquency placements statewide, and where 72.8% 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, 2019 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.”

Community Based Category: • Community Residential

Service/Group Home • Foster Care • Supervised Independent

Living • Transitional Living

Institutional Category: • General Residential • Secure Residential • YDC Secure • YDC/YFC Non-Secure

“Other” Category: • CRR Host Home • Drug and Alcohol Program • Inpatient Mental Health • Residential Treatment Facility (RTF)

General Residential Services, Community Residential

Service/Group Homes, and Drug and Alcohol

Programs were the most frequently used programs in

2019, comprising 62.9% of all delinquency

placements.

Note: Due to changes in PaJCMS classification of placement service

types in 2016, the reader is cautioned against comparing this data

to previously published (2015 and earlier) delinquency placement

data.

Section 5: Delinquency Disposition and Placement Reviews

Outcomes of Delinquency Disposition Reviews, 2019 A disposition review is a hearing conducted by the court regarding a previous disposition. Although the majority of delinquency placements resulted

from disposition reviews (see page 39), less than 1 in 10 disposition review proceedings resulted in a delinquency placement. The vast majority of

disposition reviews resulted in an order of Continued on Previous Disposition.

*The following counties had a total of 1,013 cases where the disposition was reported as deferred adjudication with no reported adjudication of delinquency at the time of disposition. These dispositions have been included in the disposition of Consent Decree. (Bucks-1, Chester-1, Greene-1, Monroe-2, and Philadelphia-1,008). **The “Other” category includes dispositions of Administrative Supervision Only/Collections, Transfer to Other Juvenile Court, Restitution Only, Fines/Costs Ordered by the Court, Community Service Only, Referred to Another Agency/Individual, Transferred to Criminal Court, and Other.
