Juvenile Arrests

County: Washoe
Measurement Period: 2018
This indicator shows the number of felony and misdemeanor arrests for children ages 17 and younger.

Why is this important?

Youth who are arrested may not gain the educational credentials necessary to secure employment and succeed later in life. Negative peer influences, history of abuse/neglect, mental health issues, and significant family problems increase the risk of juvenile arrest. The juvenile justice system aims to reduce juvenile delinquency through prevention, intervention, and treatment services. Youth who do not receive appropriate services and support are at higher risk for re-arrest.
