Foreword

The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) is pleased to present the fourth 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.

Beginning in 2019, 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 0.7% in 2020, providing a more accurate reflection of secure detention utilization.

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 informati on 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, fro m 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 Annual Report generally describes trends and patterns, without seeking to interpret them—though there are some exceptions made in this year’s report given the

pervasive effects of COVID-19 on the juvenile court system. The goal of Chapter 3 in this year’s report is to further analyze and explain how the pandemic affected the

juvenile justice system. Therefore, hypotheses for the observed trends are discussed when they seem reasonable based on the data and other evidence or knowledge about

how the juvenile justice system functions.

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

1 2020 Juvenile Court Annual Report

2020 Statistical Highlights


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, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

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 16, 2021. Any delinquency allegations received by a juvenile probation department in

2020, 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.


2020 Delinquency Allegations


2020 Delinquency Allegations by County Class

Note: 2020 County Class data retrieved from County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania at http://www.pacounties.org/PAsCounties/Pages/Counties-by-Class.aspx.

http://www.pacounties.org/PAsCounties/Pages/Counties-by-Class.aspx


Delinquency Allegations, 2016-2020 There were 15,033 delinquency-related allegations in Pennsylvania

during 2020. This represents a 37.0% decrease from 2016. Between

2016 and 2019, there was only a 4.7% decrease in allegations, whereas

there was a 33.8% decrease from 2019 to 2020. The major decline in

allegations over the last year is almost surely the result of the COVID-

19 pandemic. The pandemic’s effect on allegation patterns is examined

further in Chapter 3 - The Impact of COVID-19 on the Pennsylvania

Juvenile Justice system.

Over one-third (36.5%) of the total allegations received in 2020 across

Pennsylvania occurred in five jurisdictions (see map on page 3). These

jurisdictions include: Allegheny, Dauphin, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and

York.

Percentage of Juvenile Population Receiving Allegations, 2016-2020

Between 2016 and 2020, the rate of juvenile delinquency allegations as a

percent of the Pennsylvania juvenile population aged 10-17 declined by 33.3%,

from 1.5% to 1.0%. Please refer to Appendix 3 for juvenile population figures.

Note: The methodology used to calculate these rates was modified to report this statistic more

accurately. As a result, the rates shown in prior years have changed.

Delinquency Allegations and Juvenile Totals, 2020 There were 12,024 juveniles accounting for 15,033 delinquency allegations in Pennsylvania in 2020. This equates to an average of 1.25 delinquency

allegations per juvenile. The range among counties of delinquency allegations to alleged delinquent juveniles in 2020 was 1.0 to 1.65 (see Appendix 3).

Delinquency Allegations and Juvenile Totals, 2020


Delinquency Allegations by Gender, 2020 Juvenile delinquency allegations in Pennsylvania primarily involve

males. In 2020, approximately three in four (75.4%) delinquency

allegations submitted to juvenile probation departments involved

males, while approximately one in four (24.5%) involved females.

Delinquency Allegations by Race and Ethnicity, 2020 In 2020, 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: 14.3%

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

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

represent 8.5% of the youth population, but 28.2% of all delinquency allegations. See Appendix 4 for the number of delinquency allegations by race and ethnicity for each

county.

aged sixteen accounted for 23.4% of all juvenile delinquency allegations, while fifteen-year-olds accounted for 18.8% of all juvenile delinquency

allegations.

Note: Age is calculated at the time of the alleged delinquent offense. *Includes inter-state transfers and MDJ referrals for non-payment of fines where the age at time of offense is not reported.

Delinquency Allegations by Age at Offense, 2020


Delinquency Allegations by Offense Type, 2016-2020 The following information was compiled based on the most serious alleged offense for each juvenile delinquency allegation received in Pennsylvania

between 2016 and 2020. That is, only one offense per delinquency allegation is counted in the figures below. These alleged offenses are broken into four

offense categories: Person, Property, Drug, and “Other.”

From 2016 to 2019, there was relative stability in the offense categories of allegations received by juvenile probation departments. Between 2019 and

2020, at the same time that there were large overall declines in allegations (33.8%), certain offense categories saw larger decreases than others. The

biggest decreases from 2019 to 2020 occurred for Person offenses (41.7%), followed by “Other” (32.4%), Drug (31.6%), and Property offenses (25.8%).

Note: The “Other” offenses category includes, but is not limited to: Public Order offenses such as Disorderly Conduct or Weapon on School Property; Firearms Offenses; and Certifications from the minor judiciary that a juvenile failed to comply with a lawful sentence imposed for a summary offense.

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 in 2019, 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.


Secure Detention Admissions, 2016-2020 Detention admissions have declined statewide

since 2016, with a 51.1% overall decrease and a

42.0% decrease from 2019 to 2020. Allegheny

County detention admissions decreased by 40.5%

from 2019 to 2020, and Philadelphia County

admissions decreased by 40.0% during the same

Secure Detention Admissions by Standard Section Codes, 2020 In 2020, the majority of secure detention admissions were authorized under the 100 and 200 Codes – 41.4% and 31.1%, respectively. This trend has

remained constant since 2016.

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.

Secure Detention Admissions by Standard Section Codes, 2016-2020 The utilization of Codes 206, 701, and admissions with an Unknown/Other Code accounted for 18.1% of all secure detention admissions in 2020. The utilization of

Code 206 increased from 12.8% in 2019 to 12.9% in 2020, as did the Unknown/Other Codes from 0.5% to 0.7% for that same time period. The use of Code 701

decreased from 9.3% in 2019 to 4.5% in 2020*.

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 2020 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 2020 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.

Utilization Rates for Pennsylvania Juvenile Detention Centers, 2020

*A center’s utilization rate is equal to its average daily population (ADP) divided by the licensed bed capacity (CAP). Average daily population (ADP) is calculated by the sum of all utilized

bed days divided by the number of days in the reporting period. The rates on the bar chart are the actual calculated rates and may not match a rate calculated by the displayed ADP due to

rounding of the ADP number. The licensed bed capacity may be different from the staffed bed capacity.

NOTE: Aspire Youth Center opened in April 2020. Mid Atlantic Youth Services (Luzerne-Pittston and Western-Emlenton) both closed in October 2020.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

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 16, 2021. Any delinquency dispositions received by a juvenile probation department in 2020, 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

Total Delinquency Dispositions by Race and Ethnicity, 2020 In 2020, 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: 14.3% of the total

population versus 36.9% of all delinquency dispositions. When excluding Philadelphia County and Allegheny County, Black Non-Hispanic youth represent

8.5% of the youth population, but 27.6% of all delinquency dispositions. Please see Appendix 25 for the number of delinquency dispositions by race and

ethnicity for each county.

and placement reviews), the proportion of both Hispanic (16.9%) and Black Non-Hispanic

(39.6%) youth exceeded their representation in the total number of delinquency dispositions

(13.0% and 36.9%, respectively).

Additionally, the representation of Black Non-Hispanic youth (52.4%) within secure placement

settings was disproportionate to the percentage of Black Non-Hispanic youth in all placement

dispositions (39.6%).

cases transferred to criminal proceedings (32.0%) than what is reflected in all delinquency

dispositions (36.9%). The number of cases transferred to criminal proceedings declined by 54.5%

between 2019 and 2020.

Section 4: Delinquency Placements

Delinquency Placements Including Disposition Reviews, 2016-2020 Delinquency placements have declined each year between 2008 and 2020, and there was an overall decrease of 79.5% statewide during that period. Most

of these decreases occurred between 2008 and 2019, during which delinquency placements declined by two-thirds (67.1%).

Between 2019 and 2020, there was a 38.3% decrease in placements. This decrease was a bit larger for Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties (43.4% and

42.4%, respectively) than for the remaining counties (36.5%). For more detailed analysis of the pandemic’s effect on delinquency placement trends, see

2020 Delinquency Placements as a Percent of Dispositions Including Disposition Reviews


New Allegation Placements vs. Disposition Review Placements, 2020

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 (52.7%) were ordered as

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

influenced by Philadelphia, which accounted for 16.4% of all

delinquency placements statewide, and where 66.0% 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 49.9% from new allegations and 50.1%

from disposition reviews. Philadelphia, Allegheny, and Class 2A, Class 5,

Class 6, and Class 8 are the county class groups with a majority of

delinquency placements originating from disposition reviews.

Total Delinquency Placements by Type, 2020 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

2020, comprising 61.9% 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, 2020 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 322 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. (Columbia-2, Luzerne-4, Monroe-1, and Philadelphia-315). **The “Other” category includes dispositions of Administrative Supervision Only/Collections, Transfer to Other Juvenile Court, Restitution Only, and Fines/Costs Ordered by the Court.

Chapter 3 - The Impact of COVID-19 on Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Justice System

Overview Earlier chapters of this report documented how 2020 patterns of allegations, dispositions, and the use of detention diverge from previous years in ways

that are very likely attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the Annual Report’s standard method of analyzing a whole year’s worth of data

does not capture how the disruption caused by the pandemic was much greater in certain months than in others. Likewise, combining all of 2020

together and comparing to previous years risks understating the pandemic’s impact on the juvenile justice system by including two-and-a-half months

(January through mid-March) before the pandemic began to affect juvenile court business practices. For these reasons, a pandemic-specific analysis is

included as part of this year’s Annual Report.

This chapter analyzes select data reflecting allegations, dispositions, and placements that appear in the main report, but at a more granular level with the

purpose of highlighting the pandemic’s impact. Analyzing data on a month-by-month basis, for example, provides for a more nuanced analysis of exactly

when the pandemic had the largest effect on allegations and dispositions, and how long those patterns lasted. Likewise, this chapter summarizes patterns

observed during the “pandemic months” and compares them to the same period in 2019 as well as to the pre-pandemic period in 2020. “Pandemic

months” includes April through December, while the pre-pandemic period is considered January through March. Although the pandemic began in

mid-March, it was decided that March should not be included in the definition of “pandemic months” because at least two of those weeks occurred prior

to juvenile court business practices being affected by COVID-19, and the goal is to isolate the pandemic’s impact on the court system. In addition,

Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Case Management System (PaJCMS) data fields are presented in this chapter that are not analyzed in the rest of the Annual

Report (e.g., whether court hearings are held in person or via phone or video conference). Examining these additional fields helps isolate the effect of the

pandemic on juvenile court activity.

With the goal of better explaining trends in the data, this analysis additionally presents results from the COVID-19 Response in Pennsylvania’s Juvenile

Probation Departments Surveys, which JCJC administered on four separate occasions in 2020 to capture how juvenile probation departments throughout

the Commonwealth were adapting to the pandemic conditions (see link on the JCJC website: https://www.jcjc.pa.gov/Publications/Documents/COVID-

19%20Survey%20Analysis.pdf). Topics covered by the survey include: Furlough, Office Operations, Contact with Youth & Families, and Probation Intake

& Court Proceedings. The qualitative and quantitative responses to the surveys help make sense of several of the trends described in this chapter.

This analysis focuses on state-level rather than county-level trends to describe how the pandemic has impacted Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system as

a whole. As a result, certain trends or explanations of trends presented here may not apply to a specific county. Appendices 33 through 37 present

county-specific data, and county probation departments are encouraged to compare their numbers to this chapter’s findings.

This chapter is organized into three sections: (1) Written Allegations, (2) Court Hearings and Case Processing, and (3) Out-of-Home Placements.

Impact of COVID-19 Statistical Highlights


Section 1: Written Allegations

Written Allegations by Month, 2019-2020 A precipitous drop (50.3%) in written allegations occurred between March and April, after which allegations gradually increased through October--before declining to a lower level in November and December. In total, for the pandemic months (April through December), written allegations declined 44.0% between 2019 and 2020, from 16,870 to 9,442.

Top Ten Offenses with the Largest Decreases in Written Allegations Between 2019 and 2020 for the Pandemic Months The five offenses with the largest declines in allegations between 2019 and 2020 were: (1) Aggravated Assault Against a Teacher (87.6%), (2) Disorderly Conduct (74.5%), (3) Terroristic Threats (70.6%), (4) Retail Theft (64.1%), and (5) Institutional Vandalism (60.0%). The larger than average declines in Simple and Aggravated Assault (57.6% and 54.7%, respectively, vs. a 44.0% decline in allegations overall) also stand out, given that these offenses comprise a relatively large portion of written allegations.

Note: This analysis is restricted to offenses that had at least 100 written allegations in 2019.

Section 2: Court Hearings and Case Processing Court Hearings Held by Month, 2019-2020 There was a substantial decrease in the number of court hearings held by juvenile court--including disposition and placement reviews--during the early

months of the pandemic, paralleling the steep drop in written allegations that also occurred during that time. Hearings declined 36.5% between February

and March and then decreased another 65.5% between March and April. As a result, the number of hearings held in April was just over one-fifth of those

held in February (626 vs. 2,853).

Hearings increased substantially between April and June 2020, though they remained at a lower level than in 2019 for the remainder of the year. Overall,

during the pandemic months, the number of hearings declined 41.6% between 2019 and 2020, from 28,857 to 16,863.

Note: This analysis does not include decisions that courts made by way of signed court orders.

Percentage of Hearings Held In-Person, by Phone, or Video Conference by Month, 2020 The percentage of court hearings held in person declined from an average of 98.7% for the first three months of the year to 57.2% in April. This

percentage decreased to 50.0% in May and remained at a relatively low level for the rest of the year. Conversely, for each of the pandemic months, courts

have utilized remote technology in at least 40.0% of hearings. In April, a greater percentage of hearings were held by phone than by video conference

(24.8% vs. 18.1%). Since that time, video conferencing has become the most common method of holding hearings that are not in-person.

COVID-19 Response in Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Probation Departments, Surveys #2 and #4 This data parallels findings from the COVID-19 Response in Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Probation Departments Surveys, which JCJC administered four times

throughout 2020. Select results from Survey #2 (53 counties responding) and Survey #4 (42 counties responding) are presented below.

When Survey #2 was administered in late March, most departments reported postponing in-person hearings, and some also reported using phone and

video technology. By the time Survey #4 was administered, at the end of August through early September, most departments had resumed in-person

hearings. Still, a much greater percentage were using video technology, and there were also smaller increases in the percentage of counties conducting

hearings by phone.

When looked at together, the results from the survey and the data suggest that, after an initial period of postponing in-person hearings, counties have adapted to the pandemic by both resuming in-person hearings for certain cases and holding hearings for other cases remotely. For more qualitative and quantitative information on how juvenile probation departments responded to the pandemic, please see the detailed survey results at the following link: https://www.jcjc.pa.gov/Publications/Documents/COVID-19%20Survey%20Analysis.pdf.

Case Processing of New Allegation Dispositions by Month, 2020 In the analysis below, new allegation dispositions were categorized as: Pre-Petition Diversion; Consent Decree; Withdrawn, Dismissed, or Closed;

Probation; Placement; and Remaining Dispositions. The data shows the pandemic only had a short-term impact on how juvenile courts processed new

delinquency allegations. Between March and April, the percentage of new allegation dispositions processed through pre-petition diversion increased

from 32.8% to 54.4% before declining to 35.6% in May. Paralleling this finding, the percentage of dispositions resulting in consent decrees decreased

from 22.6% in March to 13.0% in April before increasing to 21.5% in May. Likewise, the percentage of dispositions resulting in probation also declined

from 15.8% in March to 6.2% in April before increasing to 16.7% in May.

There were no major statewide trends in how cases were processed after the first couple of months of the pandemic (not shown), though this overall

conclusion does not mean that such trends did not occur in particular counties.

Note: The 5 most common dispositions categorized as “Remaining Dispositions” are: Transfer to Another Juvenile Court (49.9%); Accepted Courtesy Supervision (13.5%); Continuance of Previous Disposition (12.3%); Fines/Costs Ordered by the Court (9.0%); Referred to Another Agency/Individual (4.4%). The “Remaining Dispositions” category accounts for 10.6% of all dispositions in 2019-2020.

Section 3: Out-of-Home Placements Number of Youth in Out-of-Home Placement on the First Day of the Month, 2019-2020 At the beginning of the pandemic, between April and May, the number of youth in out-of-home placement (not including detention and shelter stays and

diagnostic placements) on the first day of the month declined 12.9% from 1,587 to 1,382. This number continued to drop throughout the entire year,

decreasing an additional 23.4% between May and December.

Pre-pandemic (January through March), there were an average of 1,615 juveniles in placement on the first day of the month. During the pandemic

months (April through December), there were an average of 1,219 juveniles in placement, a 24.5% decline. While the number of youth in placement also

declined during those same months in 2019, the decrease was approximately half as large (11.6%).

Note: Data on Detention and Shelter Stays and Diagnostic Placements are not included in any of the graphs for Section 3: Out-of-Home Placements. The placement types included are the same as

are listed in Total Delinquency Placements by Type, 2020, Including Disposition Reviews, on p. 41.

Out-of-Home Placement Dispositions by Month, 2019-2020 Trends in placement dispositions, rather than placement releases, explain declines in the number of youth in placement at the beginning of the month.

Pre-pandemic (January through March), there were an average of 179 placement dispositions per month. During the pandemic months, there were an

average of 110 placement dispositions per month, a 38.2% decline. In 2019, the average number of placement dispositions per month was 214 for

January through March, and 204 for June through December, a 4.7% decrease.

In sum, Pennsylvania experienced a major reduction in the number of juveniles in out-of-home placement during the pandemic.

Releases from Placement by Month, 2019-2020 While there was a large increase between March and April in releases from placement as a percentage of youth in placement at the start of the month, this number was higher in June 2019 than in April 2020 (17.2% vs. 15.9%). Overall, patterns in placement releases during the pandemic months of 2020 do not look much different from the same period in 2019.
