Violent Juvenile Crime up in Jacksonville
November 19, 2008
Topic: Criminal
The Florida Times Union reported on November 19, 2008 that violent juvenile crime is up significantly in Jacksonville over the last year. Our experience has shown that many more children with no prior records of any kind are being arrested. In fact, in many cases, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has been arresting all children near the scene of a crime even if evidence of their involvement is minimal. This is likely due to public outcry regarding the legitimate concern that many children in our community are simply out of control.
