Juvenile Arrests

Date Updated: 07/29/2011

The data presented here represent either the rate or number of juveniles arrested, not the number/rate of offenses committed. Individuals are reported in the month and year they are arrested, rather than the date the crime was committed. Several youth can be arrested for the same offense, or one youth can be arrested on multiple offenses, in which case the arrest would be counted only once for the most serious offense. Rates are based on the juvenile population, ages 10-17, in Larimer and Jackson counties (8th Judicial District). All Loveland Police Department (LVPD) rates and numbers for 2003 are estimates based on extrapolations from four months of data the agency submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Categories of arrests are:

What the above data tell us: The juvenile arrest rate in the 8th Judicial District decreased 28.1% between 2001 (101.6 per 1,000 juvenile population) and 2010 (73.0 per 1,000 juvenile population). During that same time, the juvenile population (age 10 to 17) in Colorado's 8th Judicial District declined 2.3%. From 2001 through 2005, the juvenile arrest rate steadily declined, and has averaged 76.7 per 1,000 population since 2006.

The category of crime that experienced the largest decrease in arrests from 2001 to 2010 was 'Alcohol and Druge Offenses, which saw a 36% drop in arrests over the last 10 years.

In 2010, juvenile arrests were approximately evenly divided among alcohol and drug, property/fraud crimes, and all other offenses. Underage drinking continues to be a problem as the highest rate of arrests in this category has been in liquor law violations.
