After researching the site, I found many interesting topics about juvenile justice. The first topic I explored was when a juvenile is considered a victim. This topic discussed the everyday life that a juvenile may be experiencing and how this may explain why they act out or have incidents in the future (OJJDP, 2018). I find this information so important because so many youths that act out are doing it for a reason. So many people just assume that there is no reason behind a child acting out when there are sometimes several reasons. Another interesting topic I found was that the total number of juvenile arrest made were 856,130 (OJJDP, 2018). I found this so interesting because I don’t have that much prior knowledge on the juvenile justice system.
