Morgan County juvenile crime
“Judge sees small percentage of juveniles over and over,” reports Bette Nunn of the Martinsville Reporter-Times.
Superior Court II Judge Christopher Burnham believes that there is a misconception about Morgan County having a big juvenile crime problem.
“We don’t have a huge juvenile problem,” he said. “If we compare the number of juvenile delinquency cases filed locally with the population of children under 18, there is a very small percentage that get into trouble. But within that percentage, the ones we deal with generate more work as many are repeat offenders.”
