The Risk of Re-Arrest for Serious Juvenile Offenders
Publication year:

Oct. 09, 2007
ANNOTATION: The different factors amongst the five boroughs of New York City that lead to the re-arrest of juvenile offenders (JO) are investigated. This brief has these sections: introduction; JO case characteristics; JO case processing by borough -- detention, processing time, and sentencing; difference in JO re-arrests by borough; other factors that affect JO re-arrest; given the other factors that are related to re-arrest among JOs, the borough of prosecution affects re-arrest; summary; summary, conclusions, and policy implications. It appears that "juveniles processed in Manhattan were less likely to be re-arrested shortly after their initial release than juveniles processed in other boroughs" (p. 7).
