Annotation

In Jacksonville, Fla., the sheriff's office has been working with other juvenile-related agencies to develop accurate profiles of serious, chronic juvenile offenders as part of the serious habitual offender/drug involved program.

Abstract

Sources of information for profiles include prosecutors, juvenile courts, social service agencies, police, probation/parole, and juvenile corrections. Information may include previous field contacts, prior reports of runaway or abuse, dates, charges, and source of information. This compendium of information from a variety of sources can be left whole or dissected into its component parts by the crime analyst. Entries from different sources provide a chronological history of a particular juvenile offender that can prove useful for investigation, prosecution, sentencing, and treatment. Appendixes provide a sample profile and a discussion of link analysis and geographic crime distribution. 3 figures.
