The
Nebraska
Crime Commission’s Statistical
Analysis Center (SAC) collects
information from the
courts on juveniles processed through the juvenile justice system.
Approximately 8,000
juvenile cases a year receive final disposition or judgment which are
reported to the
Crime Commission by paper forms and by the computerized court system
JUSTICE.
Various statistics are compiled from these data by the SAC for use in
juvenile justice
planning. Data are provided back to local and state agencies,
policy makers, the
courts, National
Center for Juvenile Justice and federal Bureau of
Justice Statistics.
Nebraska
Juvenile Court Data Set
Juvenile
court information has been
submitted to the
Crime Commission on an ongoing basis for over 20 years. When a
case reaches a
disposition, meaning finality with concern to the court
procedings, a data
collection form is completed and forwarded to the Crime
Commission. The reported information is collected within the
county court or by the probation
office. There data
typically include cases which have been handled with a formal petition
having been filed. The statistics reported here by the Crime Commission
only contain information on
cases handled
through a formal petition. The terms, cases, petitions and
referrals may
all be used describe the same group of juveniles
processed. Data since
1995 are available through the links below, classified by the date of
disposition. This does not
necessarily represent all
cases filed in juvenile court during those times; rather only those
that received final
a disposition or judgment. Information on pending cases is not
included.
