"Arrests In 2002, there were 229,634 juvenile arrests, or 5,249 per 100,000 Californians ages 10 to 17. That rate marks a 30% decline in juvenile arrests over the decade–from 7,479 arrests per 100,000 in 1993, taking into account the increase in youth age 10 to 17 years old in California over the decade (see chart at right). The felony arrest rate fell consistently throughout the
decade, for a 10 year decline of 48% (from 2,696 to 1,407). The misdemeanor offense rate decline began only in 1999
but was quite steep, accounting for a 26% decline in the arrest rate in that category over the decade (from 4,076 to 3,028)." -
