Answer to Question 1
Violent crime by juveniles costs the United States 158 billion each year.
This estimate includes some of the costs incurred by federal, state, and local governments to assist victims of juvenile violence, such as medical treatment for injuries and services for victims.
These tangible, or out-of-pocket, victim costs of juvenile violence come to 30 billion. But the majority of the costs of juvenile violence, the remaining 128 billion, are due to losses suffered by victims, such as lost wages, pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life.
Missing from this 158 billion price tag of juvenile violence are the costs from society's response to juvenile violence, which include early prevention programs, services for juveniles, and the juvenile justice system; these costs are unknown.
