Abstract: The Juvenile Probation Census Project will collect information from juvenile probation supervision offices regarding the number and characteristice of juveniles on probation and the activities of juvenile probation offices nationwide. The project includes two forms: the Census of Juvenile Probation Supervision Offices and the Census of Juveniles on Probation. There is currently no effort to collect information about juveniles on probation although juvenile probation has been termed the "workhorse" of the juvenile justice system and handles large numbers of juveniles per year.
