The 22,509 juvenile court referrals reported reflect a 3.8 percent decrease over 1978. Delinquent/miscreant acts accounted for over one-half of the reported court activity in 1979, an increase of 7.4 percent over 1978. The seasonality of juvenile crime does not appear to change from year to year. Most referrals (59.1 percent) were youths between the ages of 15 and 17 years; 60.2 percent were males and 76.7 percent were white. Law enforcement agencies were responsible for 72.1 percent of the total referrals in the court. Running away is the most frequently committed status offense, with 21.2 percent more females running away than males. There appears to be a seasonality in the offenses of running away (most common in March) and truancy (most common in October). Tables and graphs are included. A glossary of terms and supplementary data are appended.
