    Author: Fitzgibbon JJ.
    Journal: J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol; 2004 Feb; 17(1):3-5. PubMed ID: 15010031.
    Abstract:
    In 1999, 2.4 million youth between the ages of 10 and 17 were arrested. On any given day that year, 133,000 juveniles were detained in long-term detention facilities. Since 1990, there has been a wide disparity in the number of minority youth in the juvenile justice system. In 1999, 41% of youth in this system were African American. Additionally, there has been growth in the percent of arrests of females (29% in 1999) and adolescents younger than 15 years of age (32%).
