JCJC Launches Juvenile Delinquency Data Analysis Tool

The Pennsylvania Juvenile Delinquency Data Analysis Tool (JDDAT) is now available. The JDDAT application was developed to facilitate independent analysis of annual dispositions reported to the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) by counties throughout the Commonwealth. This application will allow users to perform unique analyses on the age, gender, and race of juvenile offenders as well as the alleged and substantiated offense, legal representation, the use of detention, adjudication, case disposition, and placement type. The JDDAT was developed for the JCJC by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, with funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice and it is maintained by the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research.
