Gives Juvenile Court Facts
In 1956,2,844 Kansas children were involved in juvenile court proceedings; 2,155 in juvenile delinquency cases and 689 in dependency and neglect cases.
Most delinquents were 14 years of age or older, but most dependent children were under nine years of age. Thirteen per cent were less than a year old.
Though the parents of 67 per cent of the delinquents were married and living together, only 31 per cent of the dependent children came from intact families.
These findings are among those published by the Bureau of Child Research at the University. in a
bulletin entitled "Kansas Juvenile Court Statistics—1956."
The bulletin, number 7 in the Child Research Series, was prepared by Don M. Pilcher, assistant director of the bureau, and Julia Iliitis, a research assistant.
The data compiled in the bulletin were provided by the 1956 annual reports of Kansas juvenile courts to the governor's office. Of Kansas' 105 counties 99 submitted reports; 36 of these counties reported no cases of delinquency or dependency during the year.
Included in the listings are the ages of children involved, the sources of complaints, the relation between age and type of offense and seasonal variation and type of offense, previous court appearances
and institutionalization, and marital status of parents.
