Few juveniles were arrested for violent crime
There were 339 arrests for Violent Crime Index offenses for every 100,000 youth between 10 and 17 years of age. If each of these arrests involved a different juvenile (which is unlikely), then no more than 1 in every 290 persons ages 10 through 17 was arrested for a Violent Crime Index offense in 1999. This means that about one-third of 1% of juveniles ages 10–17 were arrested for a violent crime in 1999.
