Juvenile Delinquency in Troup, GA
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Troup County, juvenile delinquency crimes are on the rise. There are many reasons for the increase in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Georgia often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of offenses, and other family matters.

A lot of counties, including, Troup County, are focusing on family health and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Troup County juvenile delinquency statistics will show whether or not this approach is working.
