Juvenile detention and reporting gaps studied
Sharing continues a discussion on juvenile handling noting it is unlawful to incarcerate youths before conviction. Police report many cases never reach juvenile authorities, with Bluefield and county officers estimating about 100 to 125 cases missing from official records. Officials emphasize helping youths rather than confinement as about 300 juveniles were confined last year. Intermediate Court Judge Jerome Katz plans to address the issue in July.
