Disproportionate Minority Contact and Racism in the US : How We Failed Children of Color Paperback / softback
by Paul R. (University of Oklahoma) Ketchum, B. Mitchell (University of Oklahoma) Peck
Part of the Sociology of Diversity series
Paperback / softback
Description
Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) refers to the proportional overrepresentation of minority youth at each step of the juvenile justice system. This book addresses the issue of color-blind racism through an examination of the circular logic used by the juvenile justice system to criminalize non-White youth. Drawing on original data, including interviews with court and probation officers and juvenile self-reports, the authors call for a need to understand racial and ethnic inequality in the juvenile justice system from a structural perspective rather than simply at the level of individual bias. This unique research will contribute to larger discussions on how race operates in the United States.
