Demographics are certain groups of a population. Between 1967 and 1996, the rate of juvenile cases greatly increased. Most cases took place in the demographic of the children who were 15-17. There was a total of approximately 340 cases in that demographic. Most of the cases are carried to juvenile court because of 17 year olds. This is because they think they know what is going on in the world and they want to change the world. If a case is not carried on to the juvenile court, then there is also a court called the teen court. The teen court is open to children under the age of eighteen. Teen courts started back in the 1960’s, but no one really knew about them until the 1990’s. Teen courts are not as formal as juvenile courts. These two courts are very similar, but there are fewer adults involved in the teen court
