Rise in violent youth crimes in California
SACRAMENTO AP The number of youths committed to the California Youth Authority for violent offenses such as murder robbery and assault has more than doubled in nine years. Drug offense commitments peaked in 1970 and declined thereafter while alcohol related offenses rose sharply in the past three years. Weapons carrying at offense time has increased since 1965. Property crimes remain the major cause of commitments. Girls committing crimes against persons rose from 6 percent in 1965 to 25 percent in 1973. SAN FRANCISCO AP The California Supreme Court ruled that nonattorney judges, with exceptions, may not preside over criminal trials punishable by jail. The decision limits such handling of justice courts.
