doing so, he offers important information that can aid the efforts of professionals who focus on the problem of juvenile crime-sustaining the progress already made in this area and reducing
the incidence of juvenile crime still further. The arrest rate for females, in regards to a variety of offenses, either increased or decreased at a slower rate than the
arrest rate for males during 2001. Additionally, the "overall juvenile arrest rate for simple assault in 2001" was near its "all-time high" (Snyder, 2003, p. 1). There was also a
larger increase in female arrests for assault in the adult population, which suggests that the factors causing the increase in the juvenile female arrest rate for this crime and also

of juvenile arrests for drug charges varied within a limited range, and actually dropped between 1989 and 1991. However, between 1993 and 1997, this rate increased by 77 percent (Snyder,
2003). When the period between 1992 and 2001 is considered as a whole, the increase in drug violations was an astounding 121 percent, which starkly contrasts with the rise in
adult arrests, which was only 33 percent for this period (Snyder, 2003). The juvenile population of the US in 2001 was 78 percent white, 17 percent African American, 4
