Juvenile Crime in California.

Every state has its problems with young people being arrested on suspicion of committing a felony.  California, because of its diversity and shear population, is at or near the top of the list.  The statistics reveal a great deal about the types of juvey crime in the Big Bear State.  Here are some of them.

In the most recent reporting period we found that over one-third of all arrests of young people are for violent offenses.  That is a startling stat!  Beyond that, nearly a third involved property violation.  Most of the rest were for offenses such as weapons, hit-and-run, drugs and alcohol possession, etc.
