The Transfer of Juveniles to Criminal Court: Does it Make a Difference?

Charles E. Frazier

Lonn Lanza-Kaduce

Lawrence Winner

Recidivism of 2,738 juvenile offenders who were transferred to criminal court in Florida in 1987 was compared with that of a matched sample of delinquents who were retained in the juvenile system. Recidivism was examined in terms of rates of reoffending, seriousness of reoffending, and time to failure, with appropriate adjustments made for time at risk. By every measure of recidivism employed, reoffending was greater among transfers than among the matched controls.
