Answer to Question 1
The recent increase in detention use among juvenile offenders may result from the steady growth in the number of offenders.
There remains a serious problem of overrepresentation of minorities in secure detention. In a study of the extent of racial discrimination and disparity among male juvenile property offenders in six Missouri counties at four stages of juvenile justice (decision to file a petition, pretrial detention, adjudication, and disposition), it was found that African American youth were more likely than white youth to be detained prior to adjudication (40 compared to 22).
The study also found that African American youth were more likely to be formally referred and white youth were more likely to be adjudicated.
The authors speculate that a correction of biases may be one of the reasons for white youth being more likely than African American youth to be adjudicated; that is, judges may dismiss black youths because they feel that a detained youth has been punished enough already..
Student responses will vary.
