Note: The number of cases that flow through the juvenile courts are quite sta-ble from year to year, with major fluctuations more a result of enforcement orcourt policy than the behavior of Vermonts young citizens. The rise that ap-pears in the chart above in the mid-1990s is largely a reflection of changes inthe policy towards the possession of malt beverages. In 2007, the typical

violator who was charged was a 15 year old male and the most common of-fenses that resulted in charges for males were violations against property (433)and violence (357), followed by drug offenses (186) and violations against thepublic order (177). In that year, there were 1,256 charges brought againstmales and 459 against females. The total charges for possession of weapons atschool were 23 and 31 for sexual assault.
