Abstract:
Minority youths in the Fairbanks North Star Borough are referred to
the Alaska Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for delinquent behavior at
rates much higher than white youths.This report describes disproportionate
minority contact with the Alaska juvenile justice system for youths referred
to the Fairbanks office of the Division of Juvenile Justice during fiscal
years 2005 and 2006 (July 1, 2004, to June 30, 2006). Possible sources of
disproportionate minority contact are subsequently narrowed by examining
the impact of race and ethnicity, gender, type of referral, and geography.
By developing a detailed understanding of the scope of disproportionate
minority contact, we become much better prepared to identify its causes
and to develop evidence-based solutions.
