Survey of Youths in Custody, 1987: [United States]
Description
This data collection, the first survey of youths confined to
long-term, state-operated institutions, was undertaken to complement
existing Children in Custody censuses. It also serves as a companion to
the Surveys of State Prisons, allowing comparisons between adult and
juvenile populations. The survey provides detailed information on the
characteristics of youths held primarily in secure settings within the
juvenile justice system. The data contain information on criminal
histories, family situations, drug and alcohol use, and peer group
activities. For youths committed for violent acts, data are available
on the victims of their crimes and on weapon use.
