OJJDP Bulletin Provides Strategies To Reduce Disproportionate Minority Contact
September 21, 2009
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published “Reducing Disproportionate Minority Contact: Preparation at the Local Level.”
The bulletin, the first in OJJDP's new DMC series, describes strategies that states and communities can use to reduce disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system. A companion to OJJDP's Disproportionate Minority Contact Technical Assistance Manual, the bulletin includes guidance drawn from the manual and provides useful information on the context in which local preparation to address disproportionate minority contact takes place.
