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

Of that total, 62% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 141 court cases. Another 20% were dependency cases that accounted for 46 of the juvenile cases.
