Conclusion Given the high rate of juvenile crime victimization, its underreporting should be considered an important problem to be addressed by law enforcement policies. It is not necessary to assume that all juvenile victimizations warrant police involvement, but the findings presented here strongly suggest that serious categories of juvenile victimization that should be coming to the attention of police and other authorities, are not. Juvenile justice professionals and service providers need to adopt practices that make it easier for juvenile victims to receive the benefits of the justice system.
