Most formal dispositions involved out-of-home placements (n=8,271) with the Division of Youth Services, in foster homes, with a relative, or with some other agency. A total of 6,811 formal dispositions involved in-home services. Most informal dispositions involved adjustments without supervision, which consisted of no more than one face-to-face contact between court personnel and the juvenile, usually resulting in the giving of advice, counsel, or a verbal warning.
