The following data is from a government report on crime statistics from 1980-2010.
- In contrast with the juvenile arrest rates for other violent crimes, the rate for robbery lowered through much of the 1980s, reaching a low point in 1988.
- Then, like the violent crime arrest rate in general, by the mid-1990s the juvenile robbery arrest rate grew to a point greater than the 1980 level.
- The juvenile robbery arrest rate declined substantially (62%) between 1995 and 2002.
- Since 2002, however, the arrest rate rose again, so that by 2008 the rate was 44% greater than its low point in 2002 but still 46% less than its 1995 peak.
