Report Examines Disproportionate Minority Contact
September 13, 2007
With funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency has issued the report "Disproportionate Minority Contact in the Justice System: A Study of Differential Minority Arrest/Referral to Court in Three Cities."
The report draws on information from delinquency studies in Pittsburgh, PA, Rochester, NY, and Seattle, WA, to examine disproportionate minority contact and factors that might affect it at the police contact/court referral level.
