Complete the following in your summary:  Explain the data shown in your image. Summarize what the difference in the numbers means for juvenile sentencing in courts. - The data shown in my image is between the years 2012, 2014, and 2019. The image I created shows the differences between juvenile cases in the court system by gender, race, age, and two different offenses. The data I collected shows that there are more male juvenile offenders than there is female, and the race that has the most offenses are Minority. Assault has more cases than theft according to the data and theft had more cases against females than the males in that category. The difference in the numbers means that those kids are the ones that went to court and had a case put against them, they may have already had a record, or they may not have. The intake officer decides what to do once the juvenile is placed in custody based off that minors record already and offenses.  Categorize the types of offenses that come under acts of delinquency and status offenses in juvenile courts. - A status offense is a noncriminal act that is considered a law violation only because of a youth’s status as a minor. Typical status offenses include truancy, running away from home, violating curfew, underage use of alcohol, and general ungovernability. Status-offending behavior is often a sign of underlying personal, familial, community, and systemic issues, like the risk factors that underlie general offending. Sometimes these underlying issues contribute to delinquency later in life, putting youths at a higher risk for drug use, victimization, engagement in risky behavior, and overall increased potential for physical and mental health issues, including addiction.
