Notes

The Profile of Youth Adjudicated or Committed for Felony Offenses profiles the youth adjudicated in Ohio’s juvenile courts, excluding revocations. In this report, each youth is counted once per year per adjudicating county, regardless of the number of adjudications or DYS felony commitments. Since a youth may be committed to a DYS facility at a later date than their adjudication, adjudications and DYS felony commitments are counted separately in the fiscal year in which they occurred.
