This study represents an effort of the Department of Youth Services toward the compilation and analysis of juveniles taken into custody by law enforcement agencies in South Carolina. The data is based on the Uniform Crime Report. Attention is given to the proportion of juvenile population which has been apprehended as reported by the UCR, the various offenses with which juveniles were charged during 1976, and the disposition
of those taken into custody as made by the individual law enforcement agencies. Each county has been briefly analyzed individually with a summary sheet and tables provided for specific county scrutiny, detailing
those characteristics examined. Statewide tables are also presented, reflecting an overview for the entire state and the analyzation of UCR
