- In 1999, a significant portion of juvenile delinquency cases were resolved by the courts.

- The term “disposed” means the case reached a legal conclusion, either through dismissal, probation, or another court-ordered outcome.

- Here’s a breakdown of the options:

- Option 1: 12% — This is far too low; most cases do go through the system.

- Option 2: 29% — Still quite low considering how the juvenile justice system operates.

- Option 3: 41% — Larger, but still underrepresenting the real figure.

- Option 4: 57% — This is the correct percentage! Over half of cases were disposed.

- Option 5: 63% — A bit too high, though it shows the majority, it’s not the exact number for 1999.
