Title: Governor's Crime Commission Juvenile Age Study: A Study of the Impact of Expanding the Jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Summary: This report examines the impact of raising the age of juvenile court jurisdiction in North Carolina. The study found tht if the maximum age of initial juvenile court jurisdiction in North Carolina is raised from 15 to 17, with no change to the current juvenile system, the costs are expected to exceed the benefits by $37.5 million. If, however, North Carolina makes substantial changes to its juvenile system to reduce recidivism, it is estimated that benefits could exceed costs by approximately $7.1 million. Additional savings could be generated by reducing costs in the juvenile system.
