Juvenile Delinquency in Randolph, MO
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Randolph County, juvenile delinquency issues are on the rise. There are many reasons for the rise in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Missouri often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of crimes, and other family matters.
In 2017, a total of 448 juvenile cases were reported for every 100,000 people age 10 to adulthood in the jurisdiction of Randolph County. Of that total, 17% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 77 court cases. Another 33% were dependency cases that accounted for 148 of the juvenile cases.
A lot of counties, including, Randolph County, are focusing on family therapy and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Randolph County juvenile delinquency numbers will show whether or not this approach is working.
