Juvenile Felony Arrests

This Indicator measures the rate of felony arrests of juveniles by race/ethnicity adjusted for population. This Indicator is measured for Oakland. Rate is calculated as the number of juvenile felony arrests per 100,000 people of each race/ethnicity that are under 18 years of age. To determine the number of juveniles of each race/ethnicity in Oakland, we took the population by race/ethnicity for all ages and multiplied by the percent of Oakland’s population that is under 18 (19.67%). This approach was necessary due to the lack of exact data available on the under 18 population in Oakland by race/ethnicity.
