{"product_id":"2940012795786","title":"Female Offenders in the Juvenile Justice System: Statistics Summary","description":"The appropriate treatment of female offenders by the juvenile justice system is a\u003cbr\u003ematter of increasing interest to policymakers, practitioners, and the public. The\u003cbr\u003eissue merits our attention and our concern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFemale Offenders in the Juvenile Justice System analyzes patterns in the arrest, judicial management, and correctional placement of female offenders. Citing data from diverse sources, the study notes that females are entering the juvenile justice system more frequently and at younger ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough male juvenile offenders still account for most delinquent acts, the\u003cbr\u003erelative growth in juvenile arrests involving females was more than double the\u003cbr\u003egrowth for males between 1989 and 1993. While juvenile arrests for violent\u003cbr\u003ecrimes increased 33 percent for males during that period, they increased 55\u003cbr\u003epercent for females. In fact, the ratio of male juvenile arrests to female juvenile\u003cbr\u003earrests declined from eight to one in 1989 to six to one in 1993.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the involvement of female offenders in delinquent behavior rises, we must\u003cbr\u003eenhance our efforts to meet this challenge. Consideration of the changing\u003cbr\u003eprofile of female delinquency portrayed in this study is an excellent starting\u003cbr\u003epoint.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121012621552,"sku":"2940012795786","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012795786_p0.jpg?v=1763572789","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012795786","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
