Study of Tribal and Alaska Native Juvenile Justice Systems in The United States, 1990
Description
This data collection focuses on juvenile justice systems
administered by federally recognized Indian tribes throughout the
United States. Responses were received from 93 tribes who indicated
that they administered some form of juvenile justice system and from 57
tribes who indicated that they did not. Variables in the data
collection include number of Indian juveniles aged 10-17 in the
jurisdiction, types of cases that the juvenile justice system exercised
jurisdiction over, type of court (tribal, state, federal), annual
budget and sources of funds for the court, number of court personnel,
types of legal statutes covering court activities, kinds of
diversionary options available to the court, and the circumstances
under which juveniles were held with adults. A separate file on
juvenile offense rates according to tribe is provided.
