City of Madison Juvenile Arrests 1999.

Numbers are expressed as rates per 100,000 within each race. E.g. a rate of 1000 = 1%.

Data Sources: (1) Uniform Crime Report on Race of Persons Arrested for 1999. Each person arrested is counted only once, for most serious crime. (2) Printout of juvenile misdemeanor citation arrests provided by Madison Police Department and entered and coded by Undergraduate Research Scholars under the supervision of Pamela Oliver. Items from this source are marked with a *(3) Dane County Youth Assessment 2000, students who live in “Madison Metropolitan Area,” percentages are converted to rates. (4) Census 2000 on racial composition of City of Madison. Juveniles ages 10-17 are estimated as 8/18 of population under 18. Note: UCR data does not break out Hispanics so they are not broken out in this analysis. Arrest data on American Indians is also very unreliable. Multiple-race persons are excluded from population figures and DCYA data.
