(1) Percent distribution by history of protective measures

  Fig. 7-2-5-2 shows the percent distribution of juveniles who were placed under probation (excluding those placed under short-term probation for traffic offenses; hereinafter referred to as “juvenile probationers/parolees” in this section) and juveniles who were subject to the protective measure of being committed to a juvenile training school and then admitted to a juvenile training school (hereinafter referred to as the “juveniles newly admitted to juvenile training schools” in this section) by history of protective measures.
  Juveniles with histories of protective measures accounted for about 21% of juvenile probationers and about 66% of juveniles newly admitted to juvenile training schools.
