Bulletin Portrays Domestic Assaults by Juveniles

Domestic assaults constitute a significant proportion of juvenile offending and victimization. “Domestic Assaults by Juvenile Offenders” analyzes data reported to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System by law enforcement agencies. Prepared by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, the bulletin provides a detailed portrait of the attributes of domestic assaults by juveniles known to law enforcement, including their locations, times of day, and the weapons involved.
