PROVIDER
Definition
The total number of juvenile court delinquency dispositions by year and age group. A disposition is defined as an allegation of delinquency disposed of by the juvenile probation department and/or the court. This indicator does not reflect the number of children, but rather the number of dispositions for all children in the given year.
