The data came from the National Juvenile Court Data Archive of the National Center for Juvenile Justice. The youths all had 10 or fewer prior referrals and were formally processed. Results revealed that the variables tested did not effectively predict the dispositions of first-time offenders. In addition, the prior disposition was the main determinant of the dispositions of repeat juvenile delinquents. More often than not, repeat delinquents who received dismissals or terminations had previously received the same dispositions. Repeat offenders who were sentenced to confinement were not necessarily charged with a more serious offenses, but they were likely to have more prior formal and informal dispositions.
