Muhlhausen, NIJ Director June 2020  \nJuveniles in Residential Placement, 2017  \nSarah Hockenberry  \nHighlights  \nThe 2017 Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) shows that the number of youth in placement continues to decline. Between 1997 and 2017, the number of youth in residential placement decreased 59% to 43,580, its lowest level since the data collection began in 1997 when 105,055 youth were held in out-of-home placement. The number of public facilities decreased 12% between 1997 and 2017, compared with 58% for private facilities. Despite this, the decrease in the number of juvenile offenders held at public facilities was slightly greater than the decrease in the number held in private facilities during the same period (down 59% and 57%, respectively) .  \nRelative declines from 1997 to 2017 were greater for committed youth (64%) than for detained youth (44%)  \nOffenders in juvenile facilities  \n120,000 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000  \n20,000 0  \n\n| 105,055\u003Cbr>| | |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 75,406 |  |  | | \u003Cbr>To | tal |  |  |  |  |\n| | | | | |  | |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  | Comm | itted | |  | | | 43,580\u003Cbr>|\n| 28,040 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | | 26,972 |\n|  |  |  |  | | |  |  |  | \u003Cbr>15,660 |\n|  |  |  | Detained |  |  | | | |  |\n\n10/97 10/01 02/06 02/10 10/13 10/17  \nCensus date  \nNote: Total includes detained youth, committed youth, and a small number of youth in placement as part of a diversion agreement. The Census was conducted on the following dates (month/year): 10/1997, 10/1999, 10/2001, 10/2003, 02/2006 (delayed), 10/2007, 02/2010 (delayed), 10/2011, 10/2013, 10/2015, and 10/2017 .  \n[ojjdp.ojp.gov](ojjdp.ojp.gov) [nij.ojp.gov](nij.ojp.gov)  \nn Of the offenders held in residential placement in 2017, 96% were held for a delinquency offense and 4% were held for a status offense. Approximately 40% were held for a person offense.  \nn Females accounted for 15% of the placement population, and they tended to be slightly younger than male residents.  \nn Minority youth accounted for 67% of youth in placement in 2017, with black males forming the largest share.  \nn The national detention rate for black youth was six times the rate for white youth, and their commitment rate was four times the rate for white youth.  \nn Private facilities accounted for 43% of facilities holding juvenile offenders in 2017, and held 29% of juvenile offenders in placement.  \nn Two-thirds of youth held in residential placement in 2017 were committed to the facility as part of a court-ordered disposition; the remaining youth were detained pending adjudication, disposition, or placement elsewhere, or were in the facility as part of a diversion agreement.  \nA Message From OJJDP and NIJ  \nThe Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention sponsors the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) to gather comprehensive and detailed information about youth in residential placement because of law-violating behavior. This biennial survey details the characteristics of youth held for delinquency and status offenses in public and private residential facilities in every state. The data provide a detailed picture of these youth, including their age, gender, race, offenses, and adjudication status.  \nThe most recent CJRP data show that the number of youth in placement continues to decline. Between 1997 and 2017, the number of youth in residential placement decreased 59% to 43,580, its lowest level since the data collection began in 1997. Females accounted for 15% of the placement population, and they tended to be slightly younger than male residents. Minority youth accounted for 67% of youth in placement in 2017, with black males forming the largest share.  \nJuvenile justice professionals and policymakers, along with o","cbCaiqs6lfbcUts2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqs6lfbcUts2","pdf",822722,16,"English","# Highlights\n## Offenders in juvenile facilities\n## CJRP purpose and scope\n## One-day count and admission data","[{\"question\":\"What does the CJRP census cover for juvenile residential placement?\",\"answer\":\"CJRP gathers data on juveniles younger than age 21 held in secure and nonsecure residential placement facilities due to contact with the justice system.
