Data Source
Agenda for Children's analysis of data from the Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice (formerly the Office of Youth Development), by special request, and Puzzanchera, C., Sladky, A. and Kang, W. (2021). "Easy Access to Juvenile Populations: 1990-2020."
Notes
Data for 2011 and later should not be compared to previous years' data. Previously, data reflected how many youth were under OJJ supervision on September 1st of a given year. Beginning in 2011, data reflects how many youth were under OJJ supervision at any point during a calendar year.
