THE COURTS COOPERATING

Ninct~-Rix ('omts RC'nt,in Rtat.iRticai rtnt-a for the {'ntiro cnJcndnr yC'ur 1929, as ('ompared with 65 courts for 1928 and 43 for 1027.2 'I'll(' nnmes of the 96 ('{lurts r{'port.ing for 1929, with the largcRt, city or-iown in the area served by each court, are giv{'n in the nppNHlix (p. !l2). For conY{'ni{'nce {'a('h court will bo d{'signat.{'cl in all othor plncrs only hy th{' territ,ory ov('r which it has jurisdiction. The ('oopC'rnting courts reported 46,312 deJinqu(,I1ey cnROS, 18,805 dop{'nc/elH'Y nnd negl{'d. CIl."('R, and 10,493 (,Rses of children dischal'g{'d from SlI IH'l'visioIl. The Dlnnb{'1' of caR{,S I'('ported by each court for the Y(,IU' is shown in Table 1. Although all the courts have juriRdiction ()v('r hoth <I('lin­ql.lcncy Rnd dep{'nd{'ncy or negieet cases, 7 courts reported drlinquf'n('y CRses only and 3 reported drpendency or n{'glcct CRR{,S only, Nillrty­three of the courts;, therefore, reported ('as{'s of d{'Jinquency, and xU reported Cll.,,('s of df'.pendency and n{'glret. Sixt.y-~ix COurtR rrpoJ'tNl cases of ('hildren discharged from suprrvision; 61 of th{,Rf'. ('01I1'ls

reported cas{'s of dpHnquen t ehiIdren, nncl48 courts cases of drprndrn t and nrglectrd childJ'rn, Thrse 'figurrR, repJ'{'srnting the num hrl' of ('ourts rrporting rR('h type of casc, will be usrd in the sllmmnry tnbJrR Rnd dis('ussions in this report,

The work of the conrt RS to hoth number and t.yprs of cnses wns reported more eomple(cly by some courts than by othrI'S. Inco1l1-plrte re('.ords or diVIded responsibility in chr('king clmls was rrspoll­sible for mRny of the failurrs to report.3 All the courl~s were Rsked j.o report unofficiRl cnses, but no such CRses were reported hy 25 4 (,01l1'[.S, nlthough it is probable that in some oC thrse court" a few ('omplnint.s nrc adjusted unofficially. In some courts records arc not kf'pt of unoffiCIal work.

The failure of 30 courts to report Cll."es of children clis(:hal'gf'(l from supen'iRion rony be duf'. to ineomplete prohation records or to thf' prn('­tice of allowing cases to become mactive without dismissal or removal from the list or index of active cases,

Table I shows wide variation nmong the courts in the relative number of delinquency ano of dependrn('y Rno noglrct ('aRrs reported for the year. This vRriation is due in part to the ext,rnt to which local ngcncies other thnn the court arc e!ll'ing for drpendcnt aud l}('g­lected children in the different communities.

Few children of foreign birth are report9d to the courts in delin­qu{'ncy cases. This is douhtless duo, at loast in part, to tho fact thnt a smaiIor proport.ion of the foreign-born white population than of tho native-born white population is of juvenile-court nge. .

In two-thirds of the cases of delinqnent boys, but in Rlij!ht,ly less than one-half of the casos of dC!llnqllent girh; for whom this informa­tion was reported (Table 4), the children worc living with boUl their own parent,s when they were rr.forred to court. This rather striking diITNence between boys and girls is prohahly due to severnl fnctors. The lack of normal family lifo may plllY a more significant part in the delinquency of girls than of boys. It is gPllOrnlly conceded that the difficulties which bring girls into court are usunlly more serious in character and more closely related to home conditions than the diffi­culties of boys.

SOURCES OF REFERENCE TO COURT

The distribution of tho sources from which cases 0.1'0 refotTod to court is some indication of t.he relation of the court to tho community. The proportion referred by such sources as parents and rcrativos, other individuals, nnd social agencies shows to a certain extent whether the court is regarded as a general agency to deal with all oonduct problems or only as an agency to deal with cases of marked conflict with public authority. More than haH the cases shown in Tahlo 5 were reported by the police. Parents or relatives, or other individuals, referred one-fourth of the cases. Prohation officers were reJmrted I1S sourco of reference in a small percentage of the cases.12

PLACES OF CARE PENDING HEARING OR DISPOSITION

Table 6A ghows that more than half the delinquont chilorrn Wf'm not detninl.'d pending the hoaring or disposition of their cag(,s, or t,he-ir cas('s w('ro disposed of on the day the complaint WitS made. For Ihe children who were detained, a diversity of plnces were used Itccording t.o the facilities available in the local community. Detont.ion hOllll'S

were lIsl.'d in one-fourth of the cases. Practically all the caS(,fl of children cared for in detention homes were reported by eomls sj(,u­Ilt('d in cities or counties of 100,000 or more population. Although a number of courts reported the use of institutions other thnn dl.'tf'lI­tion homes, including the instit,utionaI resources of privl1.te ag(meif'H, the majority of the cases in which children were so cared for W('J'O

reported by the Now York City court. (See Tahle VII, p. 51.) Five llCr cent of the boys and two per cent of the girls were dl'l,llilll'ci in jai s or police stations. In all 1,8!Hi children, of whom 713 WI'I"O

under the age of 16 years, were detained in jltils or police !ltntiomL 13

A marked difference is shown in the type of d('tention cnre ~iv('n children over 16 yenrs of a~e and (,hat gIven yOllnger childn'lI. A smaller pereental{e of the older children were detained in dplr-nlioll homes and other lllstitutioIlS and a larger percentage in jnils 01' police st,ations.

REASONS FOR REFEHENCE TO COURT"

AlthOllgh an nu,rmpt is hring mndo to s("curc uniCormit,y in the lise of lerms, t h£> r("nsons r(,,}JOrtrd for refrrring children t.o court.s as delinquents give n vt'ry incomplete pictlln~ of (.heir lwhavior problems. A child may have commit,t.ed sovernJ offenses at or ahout the snmo t.ime hut be rl'ferred to the court, on only ono of them. The specific offense for which he is r("fl'rred may be much less srrious than offt'nses dis­('oyered in the COllrnc of the ~;ocjal inveRtigation. When the cnRC is investigated hefore the filing of a petition instead of afl,erwnrd, the formal chnrgr is usunlly more accurate, but, evt'n in such cnscs t.ho offense stated in t.he complnint may reflect t,he d('sire of the COlll't to protect the child.'5 Thrse differClnces in the attitudes nnd practices or the court nrc appnrl'llt in the proportion of cnses referred for the varicHls rensons by the different courts.

D1fl1'O:>ITIONS

Individuol courts showed wide vltriot.ion in the ext.ent to which dirrcront ty[lrs of diR[lositions wrf(l used (See To,hIes IVA, IVn, pp. 41, 46.) Such varintionR nfO due in mony instances to differences m eourt pro('.rclure and prn.ctice. For im;t:mcn, the number of official f'ltsC's dismissed or eon t.in lied indefinitely 16 is small if cuses aro i'n­v('stignted before the filing of n, prtiLion nnd trivial cases nre denlt with IlnolllcinlIy nnd dropped. The proportion of cases in which tho ehild is p1ncecl on probat.ion is influenced by several factors, among thrill the number of cases dismissed or eonLinued indefihitely upon first hearing, the extent to wliieh unofficial probnLion is used, tho 10('.nl inRtit.lltions uyailnble for short-time commitments, and the care \vith which childrpn are RC'lpf'ted for probation hot.h as to those likely to profit by it !tnti as to the courL's fltcililies for giving adequatE' Sll pcrvisioll.

Officlnl cnsell. .

Tahlo RA shows the extrnt. to wllich different types of dispositions were used by the court.s in officinl c1p\inquellcy cnses. Placing the child on Jll'olmtioTl was the disposition mORt, fr('(fll('ntiy used. The number of eases dismissecl 01' continlled indefinitely was nlso large; in Il. smnller nmnbrr the child['('n were cOIllmitted to institutions. Only aboul. one-Rcventh of t.Iw cast's wrl"C disposed of by nny other method than one of theRc three. Altho\lgh {,he sn.mc percentnge or boys nnd girls were pln,ced on probation, tlw pl'rcentngo·o£ cases dis­missed or {'ontinued indefinitely was Iltrg('r for boys nnd tho per­centnge of cOlllmiLments to illRtitutiol1s wnR lorger for girls. Other slight, diffo[,(,IlC('R in tho methods of deltling with boys and girls are shown in this tubic. The types of dispositions reported in cnses of white and color('d children show some diITl'r('nces: whito children were reluti.vplv more apt to be lined than the colored; colored ehildren W('fe more often committed Lo boards, departments, or ngencies than the white.

JUVENILE-COUR'l' BTATIS'l'ICB, 1929 - 17"

Both t.he age of the child and the chnrncter of his offense affect the disposition of his case. Tnhle 8n shows \,he relat,ion between the dis .. position of the case nnd the nge of the child, nnd Tahle Bc, between the disposition of the case and the reason given for referring the child to court.

Table 8n shows II. larger pel'ccntltge of cases of boys under 10 yoers of age than of older boys dismissed or continued indefinitely and R

steadily increasing percentage of commitments to institutions in each higher age period. Comparison of the age group 16, under 18 yCI\r8 with age groups under 16 yean~ shows that ill a smaller percentage of the older group than of each of the younger groups the case was dis­missed or contmued indefinitely or I,he hoy placed on probation. In a higher percentage of the older group than of each of the younger groups the disposition was one of a miscellaneous list classed as "other." The age group 18 years and over in which percentages were based on II. small number of cases (52), the majority reported by one court (San Diego CounLy, Calif.), may be excluded from con-sideration.

In cases of girls under 10 years of age dismissal or indefinite contin­uance constituted a mueh larger percentage and probation R much smaller percentage of the dispositions than in each of the higher ago groups. As in boys' cases, commitment. to institutions constituted an increasing percentage of the dispositions as the age of the girls in creased.

Table 8c shows that with a few except.ions the treatment (or differ-ent tlpeR of offenses waR quito similar in .boys' and girls' case!]. Dismlssal or indefinite continuance was the disposition most often IIsed in both boys' and girls' cases when the offense was truancy, injury or attempted injury to person, and act of carelessness or mis­chief. Probation was the most usual disposition in cases o( both hoys and girls eharged with stealing, runnin~ away, and being un­governahle. The contrast in methodR of dealIng with boys nnd girls committing sex offenses is striking, probation being wled most oftl'n for boys and commitment to an institution for girls. In a group oC miscellaneous offenses classed as "other" dismissal or indefinite con­tinuance was used most often for the boys and commitment to an institution for the girls. 17

Unofficial cases. Sixty-four of the 93 courts reporting delinquency caRes disposed of

cases unofficially. Tahle 9 shows thnt a large percentage of theRe cases were dealt with either by adjust.ing the difficulty or by dropping t.1~a case without action of any sort. In a smnll percentage of the caRes children were placed on linofficial'prohation, and in still smaller percentages they were referred to institutions or agencies. The return of runaways or children living away from home to their homes also constituted a smull percentage of the cases,

'1'a1>les 10, HA, 11 TI, nnd 12 show the Ilge, s('X, mca, nativity, nlllivit.y of parents, nnd whereaboutB wlH'n rrferred to court of chil­dren dealt with in dependency and nl'glecL enSl'S. Nel1rly I1S mnny boys as girls wer~ denlt with in t\WRO cnse!; in which the children were fnirly ovenly distrihuted in the nge groups under 14 yent'S. 'fhe number who were 14 and 15 yenr!'; of nge was slightly smaller thlln tho numhers in tho lower age groups, 1U1<i the number 16 yenril of ngo or older was very small. .

A compnriRon of 'l'ables llA and 3A shows prnctically no difference in the distribution of dependency nnd neglect cnses n.nd delinquency cnses among whiLe nnd colored children; neither is t.hero any signifi­call t difference in the percentnge of native and foreign-born children referrml in theso two types of cnscs,21 However, thero is 0. marked diJTerence in tho two types of cosos if the parent nativity of tho nativo white group is consid('l'ed, n. much In.rger proportion of the children del11t with in dcpcl1l1cney nnn neglect cnses hein~ of native pnrentnge Own of those denlt with in delinquency cnses ('I nbles lln and 3D).

In litHe more th~n oIle-fourth of the dependency nnd neglect cases wero tho children living with.hoLh of their oWIlJ)arents when referred to court. Familirs were hroken hy death, ivorce, desertion, or other causO in ahout one-hnlf of the cnses, ns shown by the number of children living with a pnrent and step-pnrent or with onlv one parent, and it is probable that most of the fnmilies were simlInrly broken in tho remainder of the cnses, ulmoRt one~fourth, in which children wpre living in ndoptivc or ot.her family homes, illBtitutions, and else-whero (Table 12).

Since severnl children in a family may be referred to court at the same t.ime and for t.he same reason, t.he families represented as well as the children's eases are shown in Tables 13 and 14. Each family was counted only once for each time it was dealt wit,h by the court on 8

new complltmt involving one or more Gf the children. It is to be expected that soeial agencies would be one of the most

import.ant sources of reference in dependency and neglect cases. In some locnlil.ies the court prefers to havo such cases investigated first by a sorinl agency so that only those nctunlly nreding court action nre brought to court. In other localities the court undertakes the initial work and receives complnints from any intercsted persons including paHmts nnd rel,d,ives. Tnble 13 shows that the largest group of families wcro refcrred by social ngcncies and the next largest by parents and relatives, these two groups referring almost three-fourths of the families.

Some form of neglect 22 on the part of parents or guardians, and situat.ions involving dependency 2J primarily, were the two major reasons for referring fa~ilies to court. The proportion of famihes referred for each of these two reasons was the same, more than two­fifths of tho total number. Less than one-tenth of tho families were referred for reasons related to questions of custody and II. still smaller proportion for other reasons.

The detention of dependent and neglected children presen ts problems different from those involved in the detent.ion of delinquent children. A compnrison of Tnhles 6A and 15 shows that bonrding homes ond other institut.ions were 11['\e<1 more frequently in depend­ency nnd neglect cases than in delinquency cases. The Inrge numher ?f cases if! ,"J?ich. depe~dent an.d n~~lected c!lildre!l were. detained m "other InstItutIOns" IS due pnmanly to the mcluslOn of flgurel"l for New York and I'hiladelphin..

DISPOSITIONS

The majority of dependency n.nd neglect cnses were officinl, but 58 ('.ourts reported some unofficinl cnses. The extent to which individual t'ourts denlt unofficilllly with dependency and neglect casee varied considerably. (See Table IX, p. 54.)

As is shown by Table 16, some definite action sHch as committing the ('.hild to an institut.ion or agcncy or plncing him under the super­viRion of n.Jl officer of the court or some llldividunl was taken in four­nfLlIs of the ofIicial cnses. In more Lhlln one-fourth of the unofficial ('ltS('R pln.cmncnt, or supcrvision of the child was n.dvised, as is shown by Tttble 17, the proportion placed uncIer the sllpprvision of tho proba­tion ofIicer being much larger in 1029 thnn in 1928.

It should he horne in mind nlw:;.ys thnt the nmount; of ddinquency which conH'S to the attention of the juvenile comt. is only a smull part of the totnl amount in tho community and IJla.y or may not. he n reliabl£' index of tho achlfll delinquency sit.unt,ion,

Growth in population is one faclor which mny nITeet tho incrrRse in ca.'~es rt'ported by the courts. Information as to inerensc in t.he numher of children of juvenile-court flgc in the areas s(1fvrrl h.Y the courts is not available, hut during t.ho lO-year p£'riod 1920-19ao there was nn a.verage anIlual incrl'nse of 2 per cent in the totnl population of these nreas. In severnl jllrisdidions, including suburhan m'cas, the increase in population consid£'rnhly exceeded this 2 p£'r c£'nt.

The extent. to which thc courts k£'pt complete statisf.ical records would nIso aITect the number of cnses reported t(l the Children's Burenll. In ono instance it is stnted t.hat reporting wns less cornpld.e in 1928 find in 1929 than in 1927. In most irlRtances, however, it is believed that, it hns hCC'fl growing more, rather than less, completc and that this fuller r£'porting has influC'lIcrd the figures of nIallY of the courts.

In individunl eourts a certnin nmount of variation in the numhrr of cnsps dralt with from yrRr to year is to be expected on t,he basis of ('hance alone. In courts reporting a smallnumb.cr of cns£'s, a not.ice­nhIe increase or decreuRe in numbers may be due entirely t.o this fnctor. The marked vnriationR in t.he numher of caRes reported hy some courts, which might easily be flssurned 00 indicate changes in d£'linqueney, arc frequ£'ntIy due to chang£'s in the policy, pcrs;ollllcI, or equipment of the court or to chunges in the law that revj~e the nge of jurisdiction or bring children before the court for offenses not previ­ously considered of juv£'nile-court, jurisdiction. The number of cases r£'ported Inny also he Itffecf£'d hy alterations in t,he policy, personnel, or equipment of othr/" offieinl and nOJlofficial agendes denling with children who exhibit conduct difficulties.
