Annotation
During 1982, there were 9,919 detentions of juveniles in secure facilities in Wisconsin: 3,353 were in county jails; 3,236 were in county detention centers; and 3,100 were in municipal lockups.
Abstract
Juvenile detention patterns and practices in 1982 were similar to those in recent years. The total number of detentions continued to decline, partly due to revisions of the Children's Code in 1978. Detailed statistical data are included in 10 tables.
