Juvenile Delinquency in Grundy, IL
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Grundy County, juvenile delinquency issues are on the rise. There are many reasons for the rise in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Illinois often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of crimes, and other family matters.
In 2017, a total of 66 juvenile cases were reported for every 100,000 people age 10 to adulthood in the jurisdiction of Grundy County. Of that total, 91% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 60 court cases. Another 9% were dependency cases that accounted for 6 of the juvenile cases.
