Juvenile Out-of-Home Placements 2018 By County as Reported by the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission
This information pertains to juveniles who, while under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court, were committed to out-of-home placement (excluding detention, shelter care, and diagnostic placements) for a period greater than 28 days at least one time in conjunction with a juvenile delinquency disposition.
This dataset is contained within the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission 2018 Statewide Juvenile Justice Outcome Measure report: this report reflects outcomes of juvenile offenders whose cases were closed during the report period and who have received a period of supervision from a county juvenile probation department. These reported outcomes are associated with community protection, accountability, and competency development.
The proportion of juveniles whose cases were closed and experienced a placement episode decreased in 2018 to 18.3% from 22.4% in 2017. At the same time, the median length of placement remained steady at 9.9 months.
