The data provided in the graphs below are specific to Shelby County and the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County (JCMSC) for 2021.   Information gathered from the JCMSC is used to create the Relative Rate Index (RRI) Tables below.  According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), “At its simplest, the RRI is a means of comparing the rates of juvenile justice contact experienced by different groups of youth.”  Please keep in mind that the federal government no longer uses the RRI as its comparision tool.
