2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
The Tennessee Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges
The Tennessee Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (TCJFCJ), was created by
the Tennessee General Assembly through legislation that was effective July 1, 1982.
The TCJFCJ is the official organization of Tennessee judges having juvenile court
jurisdiction.
Throughout its history the Council has represented juvenile court judges and court staff,
providing an independent voice regarding issues affecting children, youth, families and
communities. The Council meets semi-annually to consider matters concerning their
members’ official duties and obligations. The Council promotes best court practices and
seeks a clearer understanding of what problems and specific challenges dependent,
neglected, unruly, and delinquent children face when they come before the courts. The
Council strives to increase the court’s resources and legal options so they may better
meet the needs of Tennessee’s children and their families.

The Administrative Office of the Courts
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) assumed administrative support
responsibility for the TCJFCJ in April 2005. Among the staff serving the TCJFCJ are the
AOC’s general counsel, a juvenile court program specialist, and a juvenile data
collection team. The AOC collects juvenile court statistical data and publishes quarterly
and annual statistical reports on the activities of the state’s juvenile courts as part of the
services they provide to the TCJFCJ. The juvenile courts and the clerks of the courts
provide juvenile court data, including cases, informal adjustments, pretrial diversions
and special proceedings as set out in the Tennessee Code Annotated § 37-1-106(b)(3)
and § 37-1-506.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Overview
The Annual Juvenile Statistical Report for calendar year 2010 marks the seventh
TCJFCJ annual report compiled and published by the AOC. Please call the AOC, or the
specific juvenile court, for any data related questions. Additional statistics and juvenile
court information can be found at http://www.tncourts.gov/courts/juvenile-familycourts/statistics.
Tennessee has a non-unified court system which means that each court has its own
methods of conducting court business. Collecting the same categories of juvenile data
across all courts is a challenge. Caution should be exercised when comparing courts
with each other. Although some juvenile courts do handle adult cases, such as
contributing to the dependency or delinquency of a minor, those cases should be
reported and will be reflected in the statistical reports from the juvenile’s perspective.
Please note that data from 2005 has not been included in the trend information charts.
One of the larger juvenile courts submitted its 2005 data in a summarized format. The
summarized data could not be included in the database or in the reports that used
demographic information to break the data down into reportable categories. The
absence of this court’s information would have biased the data and given a false
representation of juvenile trend factors within the State. To address this challenge, the
AOC chose the trend range of 2000 through 2004 and 2006 through 2010, which shows
10 years of accumulated statistics that depict the juvenile court data in the most
meaningful way.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Court Process
The basic juvenile court process in Tennessee is comprised of three central phases:
Referral/Intake
Referral begins when a complaint is filed. The complaints are filed by law enforcement,
parents or other individuals or agencies requesting that the court exercise its authority.
Intake is a process during which the court reviews information to determine whether it
has the authority to intervene in a child's life and in what manner it will administer its
authority. If the complainant requests that the juvenile be detained, the intake officer
performs a detention screening to determine if there is probable cause (legal
sufficiency) that the child committed the alleged offense and is subject to detention in
accordance with the statute. The intake officer then determines if the complaint should
be excluded, informally adjusted (a voluntary agreement between the intake officer, the
child and the parents), or if a petition should be filed.
Adjudication
In most instances, if a petition is filed the case goes into the adjudicatory phase. The
juvenile court judge or magistrate hears the case to determine if the allegations in the
petition have merit. The court considers only formally admitted evidence in making its
decision. When the allegations are substantiated, the judge will either proceed
immediately or will set a later hearing date to determine the appropriate case disposition
or outcome. If the allegations are not substantiated or cannot be proven, the petition
will be dismissed.
Disposition/Outcome
The purpose of the dispositional phase is to determine an appropriate course of action
for the child while taking into consideration his or her circumstances. The disposition
occurs when an attempt is made to meet the child’s social and rehabilitative needs
through an appropriate course of treatment or action.
The Juvenile Court Referral Process Chart on the next page is a graphic depiction of
the referral process and shows how many referrals were disposed state-wide in 2010.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
The Court Data Collection Process
All 98 Tennessee juvenile courts reported data to the TCJFCJ in 2010. The courts used
either JIF98, a data collection software program provided by the TCJFCJ, or other data
collection software that they obtained for their court. Those courts using other data
collection software are required to adhere to the data validation standards developed by
the AOC staff to insure data accuracy. The courts submit their data on computer
readable media, or as electronic mail attachments. Tennessee juvenile courts have
reported data to the TCJFCJ for the past 17 years.
Data Collected
The basic data collected in this process falls within the following categories:

Child Information
o Demographics
o Detentions

Referral Information
o Reasons
o Sources
o Intake Actions
o Actions Executed By

Case Outcome/Dispositional Information
o Formal adjudicatory actions
o Informal actions


2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Units of Count
The statistical reports contained in this document are broken down into the following:
Number of Children
Counting children is accomplished by using the unique identification number that the
court assigns to each child. This identification method insures that each child will be
counted only once for statistical purposes.
Number of Cases
Each child may have one (1) or more cases. A case is defined as: “All referral
reasons/charges reported to the court (via complaint, petition, motion, etc.) on a given
day for a given child”. This means that one case on an individual child may contain up
to five referral reasons. The top five (5) referral reasons or charges on one referral date
in each case are collected for statistical purposes.
Number of Referrals
A referral is defined as a complaint, offense, or reason that the juvenile court is involved
with the child. Each case or referral has at least one (1) or more dispositions or
outcomes, so the number of dispositions or outcomes may exceed the number of
referrals.
Number of Dispositions/Outcomes
The disposition or outcome is the definitive action taken, or treatment plan decided,
regarding a particular case. The disposition date, which is the date that the case is
disposed, is used to determine when the case will be counted and reported for statistical
purposes.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Hispanic Origin
All racial categories may contain juveniles who are considered to be of Hispanic
origin or ethnicity. Please note that some court case management systems
classify Hispanic origin as a race while others treat Hispanic origin as an ethnicity
and categorize these juveniles as white. Some courts do not report this data at all
which means the data reported by the Administrative Office of the Courts for
Hispanic ethnicity or Hispanic origin is potentially underreported in Tennessee.
The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ) defines Hispanic origin and how it
should be reported. The Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting
Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (excerpt from the Federal Register on October
30, 1997) defines Hispanic origin as follows: A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto
Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of
race. The term, "Spanish Origin" can be used in addition to "Hispanic" or "Latino".

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Breakdown of Referrals by the Person Executing the Action
Juvenile Court cases and referrals can be disposed by either a Judge,
Magistrate, Youth Services Officer (YSO) or Probation Officer (PO).
All cases involving a formal hearing and an adjudication can only be
disposed by judges, magistrates, and special judges. Cases that are
handled informally through either an informal adjustment, pre-trial
diversion, or any other type of informal, non-judicial action can be
disposed by persons desig nated by the court to tak e action.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Dispositional Actions
After a referral is made to the juvenile court, decisions are made regarding how the
court will proceed. If the decision is made to handle the referral informally, two options
are open to the court: Pretrial Diversion and Informal Adjustment. These two
procedures are quite similar in that they are both a voluntary agreement between the
court officer, the child, and the parents to address the problem but avoid a formal court
hearing and an official finding of guilt. The difference between Pretrial Diversion and
Informal Adjustment is the extent to which the Judge or Magistrate is involved. Pretrial
Diversion requires judicial approval of the voluntary agreement. Informal Adjustment is
subject to judicial approval, but does not require it prior to initiation.
When the court believes that it is in the best interest of the child and/or the community,
a Formal Adjudicatory Proceeding or Hearing is held regarding the child's referral to
juvenile court. The adjudicatory hearing is a formal proceeding in which the Judge or
Magistrate determines whether the motion made on behalf of the child (or the complaint
made against the child) is substantiated. If substantiation of the motion/complaint
occurs, a dispositional hearing must be held; this can happen either immediately or at a
later date.

2010 TENNESSEE JUVENILE COURT STATISTICAL DATA
Case Outcomes
The outcomes of a case indicate the type of action(s) and/or service(s) that are to be
established as a result of all of the referrals associated with a case. These actions are
intended to provide the best chance of rehabilitation while protecting the rights, safety,
and well being of each child as well as enforce the laws of the state as it pertains to the
type and severity of each offense.
Each case can have up to eight outcomes that can be the result of more than one of the
referrals associated with the case. Therefore, the number of outcomes will not correlate
to the number of referrals or dispositional actions/procedures involved in a case.
