Juveniles Arrested for Serious Felony Crimes in Oregon and "Remanded" to Adult Criminal Courts: A Statistical Study.
Heuser, James Paul
This document concerns the problem of juveniles arrested for or accused of serious criminal acts who are referred out of the juvenile justice system and into the adult criminal court system. The first section discusses the identification of the juvenile remand cases including their arrests, proportion of males, ethnic background, ages, and subsequent arrests. The second section discusses arrest dispositions and sentences and includes a comparison of juvenile and adult arrest outcomes, arrest disposition varying by type of charge or offense, probabilities of various sentences or penalties, and incarceration as part of the sentencing outcome. The last section discusses the research analysis of the identified juvenile remand cases including juveniles' place of residence, juvenile court involvement, most serious charge in prior juvenile court referrals, consequences of prior referrals, previous commitment to state training schools, factors involved in the decision to remand to adult system, and ages of remanded juveniles at earliest known juvenile court referral. Appendices include data forms and listing of key variables for arrests studied and tracked. (ABL)
