Florida

Mode:	Automated data file
Data:	1. Delinquency figures are cases disposed.
	2. Status figures are cases disposed. They represent only those cases disposed by the Department of Juvenile Justice. Cases disposed by the Florida Network, the Department of Juvenile Justice’s major contracted provider of CINS/FINS centralized intake, are not included in these figures.
	3. The figures represent the number of cases disposed by intake during 2000, which captures only those disposed cases reported to the Department of Children and Family Services by caseworkers correctly completing and submitting a “Client Information Form-CINS/FINS and Delinquency Intake.” The Department of Children and Family Services, having a broad range of operations, reports information on other childcare services not part of the typical juvenile court system. Therefore, the number of nonpetitioned cases may appear higher and fluctuate more than those reported by other information systems that report only juvenile court activity.
	4. On October 1, 1994, Juvenile Justice separated from the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services to become the Department of Juvenile Justice.
