Answer to Question 1

parents; child; state

Answer to Question 2

 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 youths were more likely than White youths to be detained prior to adjudication (40 compared to 22).
 The study also found that African American youths were more likely to be formally referred and White youths were more likely to be adjudicated.
 The text speculates that a correction of biases may be one of the reasons for White youths being more likely than African American youths 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.
