Unfortunately, in many areas of the Crawford County, juvenile delinquency offenses are on the rise. There are many reasons for the inflation in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Arkansas often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of charges, and other family matters.

Of that total, 20% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 100 court cases. Another 50% were dependency cases that accounted for 255 of the juvenile cases.
