Black Youth Experience Highest Felony Arrest Rate in California

 

Kidsdata.org recently shared their interactive online platform for data related to felony arrests for children and youth under age 18. 

Youth who have contact with the juvenile justice system are at increased risk for a number of negative long-term outcomes when compared with the general youth population. For example, an estimated 30 percent of the youth who enter California's juvenile justice system have mental health issues and those who have been held in detention have higher rates of attempted suicide and psychiatric disorders than youth who have not been detained. Additional long-term outcomes include injury, substance use and dependency, dropping out of school, and early pregnancy.
