14T0 161 HELD DANGEROUS AGE Delinquency Cases in Capital Decrease, Children’s Bu- reau Report Reveals. Recommending adoption of a uni- form system for tabulating juvenile de- linquency, the Children's Bureau today made public a summary of delinquency ( trends in 15 States, and published fig- ures which showed that the number of delinquency cases in Washington drop- per in 1926 and was much lower in that year than in 1920 and the two years preceding. These figures were the only ones published for Washington in a comprehensive analysis of juvenile de- linquency covering 42 courts in 15 States in the year 1927. During the fiscal year 1926 there were 43.4 delinquency cases per 1,000 children of Juvenile Court age in Washington against 45.6 in 1925 and 4238 in 1924. The high point recorded came in 1919, when there were 544 cases in Washington per thousand chil- dren ot Juvenile Court age. _Boys and girls present differing de- linquency problems, the bureau said. ore than two-thirds of the boys were charged with stealing or with acts of carelessness or mischief. With the Juveniles of the opposite sex, “runhing away,” “ungovernable or beyond pa- Tental control” and “sex offenses” were | the most frequent charges, two-thirds of the girls having been charged with these offenses. The highest percentages of both boys and girls referred to Juvenile Courts on delinquency charges were between 14 and 16 years of age, and the next | highost percentages were b-tween 12 | and 14 years of age. Eight per cent nl; tae delinquent boys and 4 per cent of the delinquent girls were under 10 years of age. An analysis of the disposition of the 20,679 delinquency cases dealt with offi- | cially by the 42 courts shows that 35 per cent were dismissed or continued indefinitely, 39 per cent placed on pro- bation and 15 per cent committed to institutions.
