Measuring and Analyzing Juvenile Recidivism in Rural and Urban Pennsylvania
January 01, 2009 | Rural People and Communities
This research provides a comprehensive analysis of juvenile recidivism in Pennsylvania, with special reference to differences between rural and urban counties. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that do not report on juvenile recidivism. Recidivism is defined as a relapse into criminal activity and is one of the most important measures used to gauge the success of juvenile justice intervention programs. The study analyzed data from 1997 to 2005 on approximately 190,000 juveniles with a prior conviction to determine the factors leading to a reconviction.
