The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority received a grant from the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission to create the Juvenile Justice System and Risk Factor Data for Illinois: 2003 Annual Report. In an effort to present a broad range of relevant data to juvenile justice professionals, this report's aim is to be as comprehensive as possible in reporting juvenile justice data. Additionally, this report presents a brief explanation of risk factors and their importance to the juvenile justice system. When available, risk factor data is also included in this report, although in some cases 2003 data were not available.
