Quantitative Performance Measures for Juvenile Dependency Court Administrative Office of the Courts March 14, 2008

Conference on Juvenile Court Standards: 1921 “In order that it may be possible to compile information covering a period of years and to compare the work of one court with that of others, it is essential that uniform terminology and methods of statistical tabulation and presentation of fundamental items be agreed upon. By this means only can significant social data concerning the prevention and treatment of juvenile delinquency and neglect be obtained.”

Juvenile Court Statistics: 1921 “Juvenile court judges, probation officers, and others concerned with delinquency and dependency are without adequate statistical information indicating the extent and nature of these problems. Federal statistics of births and deaths are available to the public health worker, and of manufacture, trade and agriculture to the business man and the farmer, but no plan has yet been developed for the collection on a national scale of statistics of dependency and delinquency.”

Welfare & Institutions Code Section …the Judicial Council shall adopt, through rules of court, performance measures…so that courts are able to measure their performance and track their own progress in improving safety, permanency, timeliness, and well- being of children…
