Overview

Groundbreaking Edited Collection Now Available!The overrepresentation of Black (African American) youth in federal and state juvenile justice systems in the United States continues to challenge families, practitioners, other community stakeholders, and researchers. The Disparate Treatment of Black Youth in the Juvenile Justice System is an edited volume that presents information on both the history and stages of the juvenile justice system in the United States, explanations of Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC), and the importance of individuals, families, schools and neighborhoods in addressing DMC. Written and edited by recognized experts in the field, The Disparate Treatment of Black Youth in the Juvenile Justice System provides the foundation for moving the DMC discourse, research, and policies in a different direction. The Disparate Treatment of Black Youth in the Juvenile Justice System: Provides a framework for understanding the disparate treatment of black youth both in the past and in the 21st century.  Sensitizes readers to the importance of federalism in the United States and how it both impacts and impedes state and local DMC policies and prevention strategies in spite of their critical role in the DMC policy process. Examines how state and local elected officials, (as well as bureaucrats, other practitioners, and interest groups) impact DMC – this is typically not included in traditional textbooks. Offers a holistic approach to understanding the lived experiences of black youth by focusing on the individual, as well as their families, schools/education, and neighborhoods.
