Although the report focuses primarily on delinquency dispositions, information has been included on dependency cases that have been referred to juvenile probation departments. While county children and youth agencies handle the overwhelming majority of cases involving dependent children in the Commonwealth, some juvenile probation departments provide services to children who are alleged to be dependent on the basis of ungovernability or chronic truancy. Data were provided by county juvenile probation departments and includes information on: delinquency dispositions, delinquency placements, delinquency offenses, detention, demographics, dependency dispositions, disposition and placement reviews, and a summary of all dispositional activity.
