Resources / Report / Characteristics of Cases Judicially Waived from Juvenile Court to Criminal Court

NCJJ and OJJDP recently introduced a Data Snapshot series to disseminate current research about youth in the juvenile justice system. Each one-page Snapshot focuses on a specific topic (e.g., juveniles in residential placement, characteristics of youth residential placement facilities, youth victims of violence) and highlights policy-relevant findings. This Data Snapshot documents the trends and characteristics of cases judicially waived to criminal court.
