This report summarizes findings from the Arizona Youth Survey administered to 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students during Spring 2010. The survey was designed to assess school safety, adolescent substance use, antisocial behavior, youth gambling, and the risk and protective factors that predict these adolescent problem behaviors. All schools in Arizona are eligible to participate in the survey, and recruitment efforts were successful in obtaining participation by schools in all of Arizona's 15 counties.

Much of Arizona’s criminal justice system is organized and functions at the municipal and county level. Aggregating the data to describe system activity for the state as a whole can mask important differences in crime and criminal justice system activity at the local level. In this report, data available on law enforcement, court, probation, and corrections activity impacting each county are compiled to give county-based criminal justice policymakers and practitioners an overview of crime and criminal justice system activity in their county.
