Abstract
Although many aspects of the juvenile justice process have been studied in recent years, little attention has been given to the issue of case attrition—the loss of cases referred to the juvenile court through intake or judicial dismissals. This study examines case attrition in a metropolitan court, the types of cases lost, and the reasons for dismissal. Findings indicate that many serious crime cases are dismissed because of petitioner and/or witness actions. Methods of addressing this problem are discussed.
