Juvenile Delinquency in Green, WI
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Green County, juvenile delinquency crimes are on the rise. There are many reasons for the increase in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Wisconsin often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of offenses, and other family matters.
In 2017, a total of 143 juvenile cases were reported for every 100,000 people age 10 to adulthood in the jurisdiction of Green County. Of that total, 45% of those proceedings were delinquencies which equaled 65 court cases. Another 17% were dependency cases that accounted for 25 of the juvenile cases.
A lot of counties, including, Green County, are focusing on family health and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Green County juvenile delinquency statistics will show whether or not this approach is working.
