Report on the Situation of Children in the Adult Criminal ...

Palm Beach County alone accounts for 10% of all children tried directly as adults in the state of Florida, 70% more than in Miami-Dade County, even though its population of youth is only half that of Miami-Dade. Children charged with felonies in Escambia County are six times more likely to be tried as adults as compared with Miami-Dade. ................
