INTRODUCTION
Juvenile Justice in California, 2006 analyzes the juvenile
justice process by providing specific information on the
number of arrests, referrals to probation departments,
petitions filed, and dispositions for juveniles tried in
juvenile and adult courts in California.
The juvenile justice system in California differs from
the adult system in the type of offenders received and
the manner in which they are processed. The juvenile
system primarily deals with persons under 18 years of
age who have either violated criminal statutes or have
committed status offenses such as curfew violations,
truancy, running away, and incorrigibility. Status
offenses are acts that are offenses only when committed
by a juvenile.
Included in this report is information submitted by 56 of
California’s 58 county probation departments regarding
iv
JUVENILE JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA, 2006
referrals, petitions, and minority contact data. These
56 counties represent approximately 99 percent of
the state’s juvenile population. Del Norte and Sierra
Counties were unable to provide data and thus are not
included in this report. Arrest and adult disposition data
was reported by law enforcement agencies statewide.
Information displayed in this publication was obtained
from several databases maintained by the Criminal
Justice Statistics Center (CJSC). The primary source
of information is the Juvenile Court and Probation
Statistical System which collects juvenile referral,
petition, and minority contact data from California
probation departments. Arrest data were extracted
from CJSC’s Monthly Arrest and Citation register, while
information regarding juvenile dispositions in adult court
was obtained from the Offender-Based Transaction
Statistics system.

The arrest data was reported by law enforcement agencies and law enforcement referral data was reported by probation departments.
Comparisons between arrest data and referral data should not be made because of differences in the way data is reported between the two
sources. See Appendix 2, page 108, for more detail.

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.
Most formal juvenile court hearings resulted in the juvenile being made a
ward of the court (61.9 percent). Most wards were allowed to go home
under the supervision of the probation department (58.0 percent).
Juveniles can be transferred to the adult criminal justice system for
prosecution by failing a fitness hearing in juvenile court and can also
be sent there directly by the District Attorney. More than three-fourths
of the dispositions received in 2006 resulted in a conviction (77.6
percent).

Data Analysis
Arrests
Arrests
A juvenile may be arrested for either violating a criminal statute or for 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 232,849 juvenile arrests reported by
law enforcement agencies in 2006. It 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. Data for all 58 counties were extracted from the Monthly
Arrest and Citation Register.
The law enforcement disposition of a juvenile arrest is affected by a number
of variables including: investigative findings regarding the circumstances of
the minor 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 as determined by the individual case.
Three methods are available to law enforcement agencies for the disposition
of a juvenile arrest:
Juvenile arrests may be referred 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.
Juvenile arrests may be handled within the department, counseled and
released.
Juvenile arrests may be turned over to another agency.
The race/ethnic groups represented in this report include white, Hispanic, black,
and “other.” The “other” category includes those juveniles whose race/ethnic
group is not included in the previously listed groups.

REFERRALS
REFERRALS
Referrals
Juvenile referrals occur when a juvenile is brought to the attention of the
probation department for a review of his or her case. They can be referred by
a number of sources; the largest percentage being 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” refers to a juvenile who is not currently being supervised
by the probation department. A new referral is typically a first-time offender. The
term “subsequent referral” refers to a juvenile who is currently being supervised
by the probation department. A subsequent referral is generally the result of
a new arrest or a violation of probation.
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, the juvenile should be placed on informal
probation, or a petition should be filed with the court.
This section examines referrals by gender, age group, and race/ethnic group.
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 the 56 participating county
probation departments and was routed to the Department of Justice from
referrals reported via the Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System (see
Appendix 2).
Note: Arrest data is reported by law
enforcement agencies whereas law
enforcement referral data is reported by
probation departments. Comparisons
between arrest data and referral
data should not be made because
of differences in the way data is
reported between the two sources. See
Appendix 2, “Data Limitations,” page
108, for more detail.

Petitions
In the juvenile justice system, a case may be handled informally by the
probation department 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” refers to a juvenile who is not being supervised by
the probation department and is typically a first-time offender. The term
“subsequent petition” refers 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 originated from the 56 participating county probation departments
and was routed to the Department of Justice from referrals reported via the
Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical System (see Appendix 2).

ADULT COURT DISPOSITIONS
Dispositions in Adult Court
Juveniles can be transferred to the adult justice system for prosecution for
failing a juvenile court fitness hearing, or at the discretion of the District Attorney.
In 2006, probation departments reported information on 929 transfers to the
adult system. The adult level disposition information discussed herein is for
the 505 final dispositions received in 2006.
This section examines adult level dispositions by gender, age, race/ethnic
group, offense, and disposition. The data used was obtained from the
Department of Justice’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.)
Many of the large and small percentages displayed throughout this section
are the result of percentages that were calculated using the small number of
incidents received.

BACKGROUND
The Department of Justice (DOJ), Criminal Justice
Statistics Center, has been compiling and publishing
data describing California’s juvenile justice system since
1947. In 1969, the first computerized juvenile probation
caseload file system was developed to receive information
on juveniles being supervised by probation departments
or in detention facilities. The system was designed to
track transactions that take place within the juvenile
probation system and to provide information on the chain
of events that depicted a juvenile’s progress through the
probation and court processes from the time of referral
to final disposition. Individual transactions are linked
together to form a comprehensive record of the court and
probation activities for a single offender.
In 1979, in an effort to upgrade the first computerized
data collection system, the Juvenile Court and Probation
Statistical System (JCPSS) was developed as a pilot
study. Ten counties participated in the initial study, and, in
1980, the pilot system was made operational statewide.
From 1980 to 1989, the JCPSS collected, compiled, and
reported statistical data on the administration of juvenile
justice in California by collecting individualized records
on delinquent juveniles referred to California probation
departments. These records contained information
about the youth, referral source, referral offense, preadjudication detention, probation and court disposition,
and 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 1990, the JCPSS was discontinued because of budget
reductions.
In 1995, with the help of Assemblyman Baca and the
support of the Chief Probation Officers of California,
Assembly Bill 488 was passed, directing the DOJ to
reestablish the JCPSS. In June 1996, representatives
from 14 probation departments and the DOJ met to
finalize the reporting standards and system development
began. In January 1997, several probation departments
were submitting data to the JCPSS data.
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 those probation departments not “certified” by
the DOJ as submitting 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 those
probation departments not certified by the DOJ as
submitting JCPSS data by March 2001. In May 2000, a
permanent JCPSS Advisory Committee was established
to discuss improving county participation and legislative
changes affecting JCPSS; no funds were withheld.
In 2001, the Legislature directed the DOJ, via Senate
Bill 314, to include in its annual juvenile justice report,
statistics on the administrative actions taken by law
enforcement agencies regarding juveniles whose cases
are transferred to or directly adjudicated in adult criminal
court. This legislation also prompted discussions about
replacing the existing JCPSS software, first provided to
the probation departments in 1996, with a web-enabled
application. In February 2002, development of the webenabled JCPSS application began, and by October 2002,
the DOJ began connecting county probation departments
to the DOJ network.
In 2003, the JCPSS web-application became fully
operational. Probation departments were trained and
data submission began. Currently, 57 counties are
connected to the web-enabled application, with 56 of
those counties submitting data. The DOJ continues to
work with the remaining counties to achieve 100 percent
participation.

DATA LIMITATIONS
Arrests
Monthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR)
All juvenile referrals for law violations and status If a person is arrested for multiple offenses, the MACR
The information presented in this report represents
selects only the most serious offense based on the
severity of possible punishment.
Felony arrest counts may include some misdemeanor
warrants for felony offenses.
Referrals and Petitions
Juvenile Court and Probation Statistical Systems
(JCPSS)
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
Monthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR). The
differences are due, in part, to the different programs
and definitions used by law enforcement agencies
and probation department for submitting data to the
Department of Justice. However, there are two primary
reasons for the difference:
a.Probation departments report caseload information
while law enforcement agencies report information
on individual arrests.
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 JCPSS.

JUVENILE JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA, 2006
offenses are reported in the JCPSS.
the data received from 56 counties. Del Norte and
Sierra counties were unable to provide data and are
not included in this portion of the report.
Adult disposition information includes those juveniles
aged 14 to 17 at the time of a felony arrest, who
received an adult level disposition in 2006. The number
of adult dispositions received in 2006, that meet the
above criteria, will not equal the number of juveniles
transferred to the adult system for prosecution.
Because of differences between the adult and juvenile
systems, not every case transferred to the adult system
is adjudicated in the same year. Many of the arrests
occurred prior to 2006.
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.

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 similar 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.

DATA LIMITATIONS
Adult Dispositions in Adult Court
Offender-Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS)
Disposition data from the OBTS system are available
from 1982.
OBTS data are grouped by the year of disposition
regardless of the year in which the arrest occurred.
OBTS data represent final dispositions equal to
approximately 65-75 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.
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.
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 severe court
disposition and the associated offense.
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.
The OBTS file includes some persons whose age
at arrest was under 18. These minors received a
final disposition in adult court under provisions of the
Welfare and Institutions Code sections 602, 707(a),
707(b), 707(c), and 707.1(a).
The 2006 report file was created in April 2007.
