Data Source: California Dept. of Justice, Crime Statistics: Arrests (Dec. 2021).

Footnote: The 'other offenses' category includes arrests for driving under the influence, hit-and-run, weapons, and other felonies. The notation S refers to percentages that have been suppressed because there were fewer than 100 total juvenile felony arrests.
