The arrest rates at least are given per 10,000 juveniles, not as an absolute number, for exactly the reason you mention. Some of the other numbers aren't adjust

The arrest rates at least are given per 10,000 juveniles, not as an absolute number, for exactly the reason you mention. Some of the other numbers aren't adjusted though.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoI think that GP's question still stands though. Has the reduction in density of juveniles (either per capita or per square mile) had an effect on juvenile crime?
- DoubleCribble 8y agoIt seems to me like it would be harder for many juveniles to get into trouble if there just aren't that many other juveniles around. It's hard to form a gang if there's nobody else around to join.
