Description: The Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility Census, 1977, is the fifth in a series of surveys of state and local public residential facilities in the juvenile justice system.
Notes: This series was designed by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Bureau of Justice Statistics and conducted by the United States Census Bureau. The annual censuses include juvenile detention and correctional facilities that were operated by the State or local governments for that specific fiscal year. There is one record for each juvenile detention facility which had a population of at least 50 percent juveniles. Each record is classified into one of six categories: detention centers or shelters, reception or diagnostic centers, training schools, ranches, forestry camps and farms, and halfway houses and group homes. Data include state, county, and city identification, level of government responsible for the facility, type of agency, agency identification, resident population by sex, age range, detention status, and offense, admissions and departures of population, average length of stay, staffing and expenditures, age and capacity of the facility, and programs and services available. Data and documentation were prepared by the Center for Advanced Computation, University of Illinois, Urbana.
