E xecutive Summary
Juvenile Justice in California, 2014 provides insight into the juvenile justice process by reporting
the number of arrests, referrals to probation departments, petitions filed, and dispositions for
juveniles tried in juvenile and adult courts. Law enforcement agencies provide information on
the number of arrests. Probation departments and Superior Courts provide information on the
types of offenses and administrative actions taken by juvenile and adult courts.
The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is required to collect and report statistics on juvenile
justice in California. Juvenile Justice in California, 2014 reflects data extracted from the Monthly
Arrest and Citation Register, Offender-Based Transaction Statistics file, and the Juvenile Court
and Probation Statistical System. (Appendix 1 describes the evolution of this system.) Referral
and petition statistics were submitted to the Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System by
56 of California’s 58 counties, representing over 99 percent of the state’s juvenile population. Del
Norte and Sierra counties are not included in the referral and petition sections of this report.
Juvenile Justice in California, 2014 presents juvenile justice statistics in four sections: Arrests,
Referrals, Petitions, and Adult Court Dispositions. The arrest data were reported by law
enforcement agencies and law enforcement referral data were reported by probation
departments. Comparisons between arrest data and referral data should not be made because
of differences in the way data were reported between the two sources. See Appendix 2 for more
detail.

The Arrests section presents information on the number of juveniles arrested, the types of
arrest charges, and the demographic characteristics of the juveniles.
The Referrals section presents information on the number of juveniles referred to county
probation departments, who referred the juveniles to the probation departments,
the type of referral, the demographic characteristics of the juveniles referred, and the
probation department dispositions.
The Petitions section presents information on cases where a petition was filed, including
the number of petitions filed, the types of petitions filed, the demographic characteristics
of the juveniles, and the dispositions for those petitions handled in juvenile court.
The Adult Court Dispositions section presents information on juveniles whose cases
were processed in adult court, including the number of juveniles tried in adult court, the
characteristics of the juveniles, and the adult court dispositions.

Arrest data were reported by law enforcement agencies and referral
data were reported by probation departments. Data comparisons
should not be made because of differences in the way data are
reported between sources. See Appendix 2 for more detail.
z
Typically, referrals are made to the probation department in the
juvenile’s county of residence. The majority of referrals in this report
came from police and sheriff’s departments (88.8 percent). (Table 8)
z
Probation departments decide how to process referred cases. A case
may be closed or transferred; a juvenile may be placed on informal
probation or in a diversion program; or a petition may be sought for a
court hearing.
z
Most formal juvenile court hearings resulted in the juvenile being
made a ward of the court (64.7 percent). Most wards were allowed
to go home under the supervision of the probation department (52.5
percent). (Table 21)
z
Juveniles can be transferred to the adult criminal justice system for
prosecution if the district attorney files charges directly in adult court
or remands to adult court after the juvenile fails a fitness hearing.
Approximately nine out of ten dispositions received in adult court in
2014 resulted in a conviction (87.8 percent). (Table 30)

Arrests
A juvenile may be arrested for either violating a criminal statute or committing a status offense.
Status offenses are acts that are offenses only when committed by a juvenile, such as curfew
violations, truancy, running away, and incorrigibility.
This section contains information on the 86,823 juvenile arrests reported by law enforcement
agencies in 2014. This section also includes information on the characteristics of juvenile arrests
and the final law enforcement dispositions of those arrests. Although some arrests involve
more than one offense, only the most serious are shown in this report. Arrest data for all 58
participating counties were extracted from the Monthly Arrest and Citation Register.
The law enforcement disposition of a juvenile arrest is affected by several variables: investigative
findings and the facts surrounding the alleged offense; prior arrest record; seriousness of the
offense; determined need for admonishment; recourse to other authority; and other factors
determined by the individual case.
Law enforcement agencies have three methods for the disposition of a juvenile arrest:
z
Refer to probation departments for further processing. Some are handled at the
probation level, and others are sent to juvenile and criminal courts for final disposition.
z
Handle within the department, where juveniles are counseled and released.
z
Turn over to another agency.
Notes: References to race/ethnicity will be made throughout this report. The subjectivity of the classification and labeling process must
be considered in the analysis of race/ethnic group data. As commonly used, race refers to large populations that share certain physical
characteristics, such as skin color. Because these physical characteristics can vary greatly within groups, as well as between groups,
determination of race is frequently, by necessity, subjective. Ethnicity refers to cultural heritage and can cross racial lines. For example,
the ethnic designation Hispanic can include persons of any race. Most commonly, self-identification of race/ethnicity is used in the
classification and labeling process. Percentages throughout this section may not add to 100.0 because of rounding.

Referrals
Juvenile referrals occur when a juvenile is brought to the attention of the probation department
for a case review. Juveniles can be referred by a number of sources, with the largest percentage
of referrals coming from law enforcement. Referrals may also be generated by schools, parents,
public or private agencies, individuals, or by transfers from another county or state.
Referrals to the probation department consist of two types: new and subsequent. The term
“new referral” applies to a juvenile who is not currently supervised by the probation department
and is typically a first-time offender. The term “subsequent referral” applies to a juvenile who is
currently supervised by the probation department. A subsequent referral generally results from
a new arrest or probation violation.
After a juvenile is referred to the probation department, a probation officer determines whether
the juvenile should be detained or released. The probation department also conducts an
investigation and determines whether the case should be closed or transferred; whether the
juvenile should be placed on informal probation; or whether a petition should be filed with the
court.
This section examines referrals by gender, age group, and race/ethnic group. A section
highlighting juveniles directly filed into adult court was added in 2011. Direct filing into adult
court occurs when a juvenile of a certain age commits an offense that is subject to mandatory
filing by a prosecutor (Welfare and Institutions Code section 602(b)) or discretionary filing by
a prosecutor (Welfare and Institutions Code section 707(d)). This process is separate from the
fitness hearing process that is conducted in juvenile court and is highlighted in the Petitions
section of this publication. For the purpose of this section, the term “juvenile” refers to those
individuals processed through the juvenile court system.
The data used in this section originated from 56 participating county probation departments
(Del Norte and Sierra Counties are not included). This information was routed to the DOJ from
referrals reported in the Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System (see Appendix 2).
Notes: Arrest data are reported by law enforcement agencies, whereas referral data are
reported by probation departments. Comparisons between arrest data and referral data should
not be made because of differences in the way data are reported between the two sources.
See Appendix 2 for more detail. Percentages throughout this section may not add to 100.0
because of rounding.

or formally by the juvenile court. If the case proceeds for formal processing, the district
attorney files a petition with the juvenile court to initiate court action.
There are two types of petitions filed in juvenile court: new and subsequent. The term “new
petition” applies to a juvenile who is not being supervised by the probation department and
is typically a first-time offender. The term “subsequent petition” applies to a juvenile who is
currently being supervised by the probation department and subsequently re-offends.
This section examines petitions by gender, age group, race/ethnic group, offense, fitness
hearings, and disposition.
The data used in this section originated from 56 participating county probation departments
(Del Norte and Sierra Counties are not included). This information was routed to the DOJ from
petitions reported in the Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System (see Appendix 2).
Note: Percentages throughout this section may not add to 100.0 because of rounding.

received in 2014 and examines adult-level dispositions by gender, age, race/ethnic group,
offense, and disposition. The data were obtained from the DOJ’s Offender-Based Transaction
Statistics (OBTS) file. If a person is arrested for multiple offenses, OBTS selects only the most
serious offense based on the severity of possible punishment. If there are multiple court
dispositions, OBTS selects the most serious court disposition and the associated offense (see
additional data limitations in Appendix 2).
Note: Percentages throughout this section may not add to 100.0 because of rounding.

As many as five offenses can be reported for each referral. Consequently, the number of referral offenses is higher than the number of referrals.
Percentages may not add to 100.0 because of rounding.
Notes: In 2014, the UCR definition of “rape” was expanded and California voters passed Proposition 47 which reduced some felony offenses to misdemeanors. Both of these changes affected
the offenses reported. For additional information see Appendix 2, Data Limitations and Appendix 3, Arrest Offense Codes.

BACKGROUND
The Criminal Justice Statistics Center of the
Department of Justice (DOJ) began compiling
data describing California’s juvenile justice
system in 1947. In 1969, the DOJ developed the
first computerized system for juvenile probation
caseloads to collect information on juveniles
who were supervised by probation departments
or in detention facilities. The system was
designed to track transactions within the juvenile
probation system and to provide information on
a juvenile’s progress through the probation and
court processes from the time of referral to final
disposition. Individual transactions were linked
to form a comprehensive record of the court and
probation activities for a single offender.
and the DOJ met to finalize the reporting
standards and began system development. In
January 1997, several probation departments
began submitting data to the JCPSS.
In 1999, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO)
recommended that the Legislature withhold
50 percent of the Temporary Assistance to
Needy Families (TANF) funds from probation
departments that did not submit JCPSS data
by March 2000. At that time, only 22 probation
departments were submitting data to the JCPSS.
In 2000, the LAO again recommended that the
Legislature withhold 50 percent of the TANF
funds from probation departments that did not
submit JCPSS data by March 2001. In May 2000,
a permanent JCPSS Advisory Committee was
established to improve county participation and
to discuss legislative changes affecting the JCPSS;
no funds were withheld.
In 1979, in an effort to upgrade the computerized
data collection system, the DOJ developed the
Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System
(JCPSS) as a pilot study. Ten counties participated
in the initial study, and, in 1980, the pilot system
was implemented statewide.
In 2001, the Legislature directed the DOJ,
via Senate Bill 314 (Chapter 468, statutes of
2001), to include in its annual juvenile justice
report, statistics on the administrative actions
taken by law enforcement agencies regarding
juveniles whose cases were transferred to or
directly adjudicated in adult criminal court.
This legislation also prompted discussions on
replacing the existing JCPSS software, provided
to probation departments in 1996, with a webenabled application. In 2002, the DOJ developed
the web-enabled JCPSS application, and county
probation departments were connected to the
DOJ network the same year.
From 1980 to 1989, the JCPSS collected,
compiled, and reported statistical data on the
administration of juvenile justice in California.
The system collected individual records on
delinquent juveniles who were referred to
California probation departments. These records
contained information about the juvenile’s
referral source, referral offense, pre-adjudication
detention, probation and court disposition, as
well as current supervision status and changes
in prior supervision status. During this period,
transaction reports were submitted at the time a
disposition was made or when supervision was
terminated.
In 2003, the JCPSS web-enabled application
became operational. Probation departments
received training, and they began to submit
data to the DOJ. Currently, 56 of California’s 58
counties are connected to the web-enabled
application, and all of those counties are
submitting data. (The DOJ continues to work
with Del Norte and Sierra Counties in order to
achieve 100 percent participation.)
In 1990, the JCPSS was discontinued because of
budget reductions.
In 1995, with the help of Assemblyman Joe Baca
and the support of the Chief Probation Officers
of California, the Legislature passed Assembly
Bill 488 (Chapter 803, statutes of 1995), directing
the DOJ to reestablish the JCPSS. In June 1996,
representatives from 14 probation departments

DATA LIMITATIONS
Arrests
Monthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR)
z
Referrals and Petitions
Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System
(JCPSS)
If a person is arrested for multiple offenses,
the MACR selects only the most serious
offense based on the severity of possible
punishment.
z
Felony arrest counts may include some
misdemeanor warrants for felony offenses.
z
In 2013, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting
Program revised the definition of “forcible
rape” (the carnal knowledge of a female
forcibly and against her will) to “rape” and
defined as “penetration, no matter how
slight, of the vagina or anus with any body
part or object, or oral penetration by a
sex organ of another person, without the
consent of the victim.”
z
a. Probation departments report caseload
information, while law enforcement
agencies report information on individual
arrests.
The California Department of Justice
instituted this definition change in
January 2014. During 2014, agencies
were encouraged to report using the new
definition, but were allowed to report under
the historical definition while transitioning
their reporting systems.
b. The JCPSS counts only those juveniles
who have a final disposition reported to
the DOJ. Many probation departments
divert juveniles out of the system into other
“community based” programs. As a result,
many juveniles who are diverted after being
referred by law enforcement agencies are
not reported on the JCPSS.
All rape data submitted in 2014 – whether
collected under the revised definition or the
historical definition – are presented in this
publication.
z
Each year there is a difference between the
number of referrals to probation via the
JCPSS and the number of juvenile arrests
reported by law enforcement agencies as
“referred to juvenile court and probation” via
the MACR. The difference is due, in part, to
the various programs and definitions used
by law enforcement agencies and probation
departments for submitting data to the DOJ.
However, there are two primary reasons for
the difference:
In November 2014, California voters passed
Proposition 47 which reduced numerous
state statutes from felonies to misdemeanors.
Caution should be used when comparing
felony and misdemeanor arrest data to prior
years.
104
z
All juvenile referrals for law violations and
status offenses are reported in the JCPSS.
z
The information presented in this report
represents the data received from 56
counties. Del Norte and Sierra counties are
not included in the JCPSS portion of the
report.
Appendices
z
In 2003, the JCPSS was modified to accept
up to five offenses per referral or petition.
Previously, the JCPSS would only accept the
most serious offense per referral or petition.
z
Lassen County Probation indicated the
numbers provided to the DOJ in 2014 were
low due to an unforseen technology issue.
The DOJ used all records provided.
z
The subjectivity of the classification and
labeling process must be considered in
the analysis of race/ethnic group data.
As commonly used, race refers to large
populations that share certain physical
characteristics, such as skin color. Because
these physical characteristics can vary
greatly within groups, as well as between
groups, determination of race is frequently,
by necessity, subjective. Ethnicity refers
to cultural heritage and can cross racial
lines. For example, the ethnic designation
“Hispanic” includes persons of any race.
Most commonly, self-identification of race/
ethnicity is used in the classification and
labeling process.
Dispositions in Adult Court
Offender-Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS)
z
Disposition data from the OBTS system are
available from 1982 to the present.
z
OBTS data are grouped by the year of
disposition regardless of the year in which
the arrest occurred.
z
OBTS data represent final dispositions equal
to 65 percent to 75 percent of the total adult
felony arrests made during a calendar year.
Therefore, final dispositions may occur in a
year following the year of arrest.
105
z
Only the final disposition of an arrest event is
selected for statistical purposes. Intermediate
dispositions (diversion programs, suspended
proceedings, reopenings, retrials, or
subsequent actions) are not included in OBTS
data.
z
If a person is arrested for multiple offenses,
OBTS selects only the most serious
offense, based on the severity of possible
punishment. If multiple court dispositions
exist, OBTS selects the most severe court
disposition and the associated offense.
z
OBTS data on state institutional
commitments may vary from information
compiled and reported by other state
agencies because of differences in the data
collection systems and criteria.
z
The OBTS file includes some persons whose
age at arrest was under 18. These juveniles
received a final disposition in adult court
under provisions of Welfare and Institutions
Code sections 602, 707(a), 707(b), 707(c), and
707.1(a).
z
Adult disposition information includes
those juveniles aged 14 to 17 at the time of
a felony arrest who received an adult-level
disposition in 2014. The number of adult
dispositions received in 2014 that meet the
above criteria will not equal the number of
juveniles transferred to the adult system for
prosecution. Not every case transferred to
the adult system is adjudicated in the same
year. Many of the arrests occurred before
2014.
