Data Analysis Tools

With support from OJJDP, the National Center for Juvenile Justice has developed a family of data analysis and dissemination tools that give users quick and easy access to detailed statistics on a variety of juvenile justice topics. Two such data analysis tools provide access to corrections data:

• Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement Databook provides access to detailed data on juvenile offenders in custody (age, gender, race/ethnicity, offense, type of facility, and placement status), for the most recent census and for previous censuses. Users can view tables that profile the total United States and individual states or tables that show state comparisons. The tables can be saved and imported into spreadsheet software for further analysis. The CJRP data are collected biennially for OJJDP by the U.S. Census Bureau in odd-numbered years.
  
  
• Easy Access to the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement gives users quick access to national data on the characteristics of youth held in residential placement facilities, including detailed information about the youth's age, sex, race/ethnicity, placement status, length of stay, and most serious offense. The tables can be saved and imported into spreadsheet software for further analysis. The CJRP data are collected biennially for OJJDP by the U.S. Census Bureau in odd-numbered years.
