Juvenile Delinquency in Albany, WY
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Albany County, juvenile delinquency issues are on the rise. There are many reasons for the rise in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Wyoming often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of crimes, and other family matters.
In 2017, a total of 33 juvenile cases were reported for every 100,000 people age 10 to adulthood in the jurisdiction of Albany County. Of that total, 45% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 15 court cases. Another 55% were dependency cases that accounted for 18 of the juvenile cases.
A lot of counties, including, Albany County, are focusing on family therapy and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Albany County juvenile delinquency numbers will show whether or not this approach is working.
