About the SBB Glossary

This glossary incorporates selected terms used in FBI arrest statistics, the Juvenile Court Statistics report series, and the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement.

It is brought to you by The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).

More and more, OJJDP has been turning to high-tech solutions and the Internet to inform the public of new research findings and their implications for the juvenile justice field. The OJJDP Statistical Briefing Book (SBB) enables users to access online information via  OJJDP's Web site to learn more about juvenile crime and victimization and about youth involved in the juvenile justice system.
