Trends in the number of persons newly admitted to juvenile training schools since 1949 are shown in Fig. 4-2-4-2 . 6,008 juveniles were newly admitted in 2001, down 0.7% from the previous year. The average number of juveniles detained per day stood at 4,807, up 6.2% (see Appendix 4-11 ). Assuming 1995 as 100 for index purposes, 169 is applied to 2001 (male 172, female 149). Even examining the classification of long-treatment and short-treatment, both of them were seen to hit bottom in 1995, and to make continued increases thereafter.
