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..
