Juvenile Delinquency in Spalding, GA
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Spalding County, juvenile delinquency crimes are on the rise. There are many reasons for the increase in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Georgia often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of offenses, and other family matters.

Of that total, 60% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 381 court cases. Another 34% were dependency cases that accounted for 216 of the juvenile cases.
A lot of counties, including, Spalding County, are focusing on family health and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Spalding County juvenile delinquency statistics will show whether or not this approach is working.
