What will be an ideal response?
• Although almost 2 million juveniles were arrested in 2009, in many categories fewer juveniles were being arrested than a decade earlier. The 1,170 arrests of juveniles for murder and manslaughter in 2009 was a reduction of 7 percent since 2005 and 7 percent since 2008 . Since 2000, juvenile arrests for motor vehicle theft declined by 61 percent, and burglary arrests declined by 21 percent. The only significant increase in juvenile arrests from 2000 to 2009 was for robbery (15 percent).However, these increases may not necessarily indicate an increase in the volume of this type of crime, as much as law enforcement efforts targeting this type of activity.
