ANNOTATION: The juvenile-inclusive blended sentencing system (in which the "juvenile court imposes both juvenile and adult sanctions, typically suspending the adult sanction") as practiced in Ohio is investigated (p. 3). This report has these sections: introduction and relevant literature; methodology; results according to demographics, the offense, recidivism risk, juvenile adjudication processing, and treatment; and discussion. The most serious sanction was consistently applied to the most serious offense, that being a murder conviction.
