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

Of that total, 85% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 232 court cases. Another 15% were dependency cases that accounted for 42 of the juvenile cases.

A lot of counties, including, Kane County, are focusing on family counseling and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Kane County juvenile delinquency tallies will show whether or not this approach is working.
