The Commission has released a new Past Data Response focused on Youth Rehabilitation Act. This data response includes a high-level evaluation of sentencing trends using data sourced from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (Superior Court). The data contains information on Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA) eligible sentences made between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2024. This data response includes analyses aimed at addressing three research questions:

1. How many defendants under the age of 22 were eligible for a YRA sentence?
2. How many Carjacking, Armed Carjacking, Assault with Intent to Kill While Armed, and Robbery While Armed offenses were eligible for a YRA sentence?
3. How many defendants were categorically ineligible for a YRA sentence due to the offense of conviction?
