Answer:

Two-thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the 2014 juvenile offenders and victims national report, only two thirds of the juvenile offenders that are apprehended by law enforcement are referred to the courts, this is possible thanks to our juduciary system that tries to avoid that reality of facing the courts system for kids that are on situational offenses and do not deserve or show a criminal beheavior.
