Girls Juvenile Crime Rates Rising

An unfortunate thing is happening across the country, the juvenile crime rates are rising and this time its the girls and not the boys that are the reason. Statistics show that there is a national trend of more teenage girls being involved in violent crimes. These girls are ending up on the wrong side of the law and the only explanation experts have is that, the system is made for boys.

National expert and researcher on the issue, Lawanda Ravoira explains, "If we look at the entire continuum of professionals, from our judges, police officers and direct service providers, everyone is frustrated with the lack of services to help girls."

Criminal cases involving girls 18 or younger has jumped 104 percent between the years 1985 and 2004. The top non-violent offenses for females are, (in order); shoplifting, liquor law violations, simple assaults, disorderly conduct, larceny, drug violations, runaways, curfew violations and vandelism. But violent crime rates amongst these juveniles is what has law enforcement officials most concerned.

Unmanaged anger, lack of parental supervision or a general societal trend? No one can pinpoint exactly where the rise in murders, rape, robbery and aggravated assault stems from.
