Here are the nine types in descending order of severity: Felony Person These are felony offenses against persons such as murder, aggravated assault, or robbery. Previously
referred to as Violent. Felony Property These are felony offenses in which property is damaged or stolen, and the property is worth more than
$1,000. Examples are burglary, theft, forgery, criminal damage, or graffiti.
Obstruction These offenses are illegal acts that impede the enforcement of justice. For juveniles, 75% of these offenses are a violation of the terms of probation.
Misdemeanor Person
These are misdemeanor offenses against persons, such as simple assault. Previously referred to as Fighting.
Drugs These are offenses that involve the use or sale of any drug, and are almost always felonies. Paint and glue sniffing are included here.
Public Peace These offenses are generally misdemeanors, and involve acts like disorderly conduct, giving false information, trespass, weapons misconduct, and possession of alcohol.
Misdemeanor Property
These are property offenses in which the property is valued less than $1,000. The most common offenses are shoplifting and criminal damage.
Status These offenses are acts that are illegal only because a juvenile commits them, such as: incorrigibility, truancy, runaway, and curfew.
Administrative These are not illegal offenses, but are creations of the court which help record the court’s involvement with a juvenile in certain situations, such as holding a juvenile for another jurisdiction or agency, or conducting a hearing on a matter transferred from another jurisdiction.

have declined from FY2006 to FY2007.
• Public Peace and Status Offenses remain the largest proportion (47.7%) of complaints received in the Juvenile Court.
• The Obstruction of Justice category contains violations of probation (VOP). In FY2007, 91% (2,489) of
the complaints received in this category were VOPs. VOPs are typically considered to be a workload issue for probation departments, an indicator of supervision.

CHARACTERISTICS OF JUVENILES REFERRED ETHNICITY
The data on this page shows the ethnic breakdown of juveniles referred in FY2007 and compares it with the ethnic distribution of juveniles ages 8 through 17 in Maricopa County. The bar graph shows that Anglo (Caucasian, but not Hispanic) juveniles account for 56.2% of the population but only 44.6% of the juveniles referred. Hispanic juveniles show just the reverse, 33% of the population but 40.2% of the juveniles referred. African Americans have a much higher share of the juveniles than their share of the population (10.0% of the juveniles referred compared to only 4.5% of the population). Asians have the fewest juveniles referred in comparison to their share of the population. This distribution of juveniles across ethnic groups has remained relatively constant in recent years. The category of other includes those juveniles with ethnicity listed as unknown.

DETENTION
JUVENILES BROUGHT TO DETENTION SCREENING AND JUVENILES DETAINED In FY2007, there were 10,597 juveniles brought to detention, which resulted in 8,805 (83.1%) admissions. Requests generally occur when a police officer believes that a juvenile, apparently involved in illegal activity, needs to be confined to protect the community or the juvenile.
A juvenile probation officer, assigned to the Detention Screening Unit, decides whether to detain or release the juvenile based on Supreme Court Rules and Juvenile Probation Department administrative criteria. Detention screeners are on duty 24 hours a day, every day of the year, at both detention facilities.

Of the 8,805 admissions 3,305 were for delinquent or incorrigible acts. The remaining 5,500 were detained on warrants, court holds, or holds for other jurisdictions or agencies, or as a term of probation.
The average daily population in detention for FY2007 was 413.
The average length of stay in FY2007 was 16.7 days. Approximately 46.8% of juveniles are released from detention in two days or less; either charges could not be filed against them, or a judge released them upon reviewing their situation more thoroughly. (Almost one-third were released within 24 hours).
Detention has been consistently over capacity for the last few years. In late FY2007, the department implemented detention review processes in an effort to reduce the number of youth in detention. As a result, the average daily population dropped by 4% from FY2006 to FY2007, and the amount of overcapacity dropped from 7% in FY2006 to 2% in FY2007.

VICTIMS AND RESTITUTION
Restitution is the act of returning or restoring to a victim (either a person or a legal entity) what is theirs. The Court can order full or partial restitution to a victim after the juvenile has been adjudicated delinquent (found guilty).
After the juvenile’s first court hearing the Victim Services Unit at the Juvenile Probation Department sends a letter to the victim(s) of the crime. Victim Services keeps the victim(s) informed of all developments in the case, and informs them about how to request restitution. Victims must submit a verified Victim Statement to the Court to receive restitution.
The chart below shows the number of victims that have been contacted each year by the Victim Services Unit.

TRENDS: COMMITMENTS TO JUVENILE CORRECTIONS Juveniles, who are committed to the Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) or prosecuted as adults, present the most serious challenges to the juvenile justice system. These are juveniles whom judges and probation officers consider the highest risk to the community. When a juvenile is committed or prosecuted as an adult, the Juvenile Court relinquishes supervision of that juvenile. Initial commitments to Juvenile Corrections increased from FY2003 to FY2005 and then dropped slightly in FY2006 before increasing again in FY2007. Awards are cases in which a juvenile previously committed is adjudicated for a new offense and returned to ADJC. The number of awards to ADJC has increased by 72.5% from FY2003 to FY2007. The number of commitments has increased by 38% since FY2003.

TOP 20 ZIP CODES This table focuses on the 20 ZIP codes in Maricopa County that generated the most complaints in FY2007. Note that it portrays the ZIP code where the juvenile lived at the time of the offense, not the ZIP code where the offense took place. The ZIP codes are ranked one through 20 and compared to their ranking and total number of complaints five years earlier in FY2003. The last column shows the percentage changes from FY2003 to FY2007, the rate at which complaints rose or fell during the five years.

APPENDIX - COURT ACTIVITY PETITIONS FILED FY2007
Juvenile judges and commissioners make decisions about adoption and dependency matters as well as delinquency and incorrigibility. The data on the next three pages show the various petitions and hearings which occupy the Juvenile Court Calendar. The significant changes in delinquency petitions over the past few years are a result of procedural changes in the processing of citations. In 1999 they were heard as delinquency matters by juvenile court judges and commissioners, rather than juvenile hearing officers throughout the county. In 2001, as more cases were being cited directly to the juvenile court center they were being diverted to probation officers. This area will continue to change as the process is improved to handle the increasing number of citations sent directly to the juvenile court. In 1999, a procedural change allowed severances to be filed through motions on an existing dependency petition. In 2006, these motions were counted, resulting in the dramatic increase in the severance filings seen here from previous years.
