Each bulletin in the series highlights selected topics at the forefront of juvenile justice policymaking, giving readers focused access to statistics on some of the most critical issues. Together, the "National Report" and this series provide a baseline of facts for juvenile justice professionals, policymakers, the media, and concerned citizens.
