Definitions:

Juvenile detention is defined as the temporary care of a minor alleged or adjudicated as delinquent who requires secure custody for his or her own or the community’s protection.

Children in juvenile detention are between the ages of 10 and 18+.

All rates are per 1,000 population of children ages 10 to 17.

Data Source: Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission and the Center for Prevention Research and Development at the University of Illinois. Juvenile Detention Data Reports available at: http://ijjc.illinois.gov/publications/reports

Footnotes: Data from the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission and the Center for Prevention Research and Development at the University of Illinois includes a category called "Other," which is not included here in the Data Center. They note, "'Other' includes Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ), Federal Marshall, and Out-of-State admissions. There may be instances in which some Illinois youth are detained in detention facilities outside of Illinois even though the delinquent behavior (or alleged delinquent behavior) occurred in Illinois. When this occurs, these data are not entered into JMIS."
