implementing juvenile justice programs and policies. This report includes the most
current information on juvenile arrests and demographics and highlights important
trends. This report draws data from calendar year 1991, the most recent time period
for which crime and population statistics are available. San Mateo County's Planning
Department, Probation Department, Office of Education, and local law enforcement agencies,
and the State of California's Finance Department and Department of Justice (Bureau of
Criminal Statistics) provided information for this report. |
