Within these courts, 2,335 (2 percent) were waived to criminal court. Ninety-five percent of the juveniles involved were males. One-third of the waived juveniles were charged with a violent offense. A greater percentage were charged with index property offenses, usually burglary. Generally, the probability of waiver increased with the seriousness of the alleged offense. Seventeen-year-olds, the oldest youth normally seen by the courts, comprised two-thirds of the waiver cases. Factors in the waiver decisions were generally those mandated in Kent v. United States (1966): offense seriousness, community protection, the aggressiveness or premeditation of the offense, prosecutive merit of the complaint, prior record, and the likelihood of rehabilitation. 3 figures and 2-item bibliography.
