Abstract Disparities in treatment of African American juvenile offenders persist in juvenile justice systems across the United States. This study examined adjudication trends over a ten-year span within a Mid-Western County’s juvenile court for African American young offenders subsequent of the system’s implementation of the Risk Need Responsivity Model (RNR-Model). Special attention was given to changes in disproportionate minority contact with intensive interventions within the Delinquency Division versus informal probation, which is considered a low intensity and less punitive adjudication path. The findings indicated African Americans were more likely to be referred to low intensity interventions at Intake (Informal Probation) after the RNR Model was implemented, suggesting disparities in contact were partially mitigated by the risk assessment approach. Implications for policy are discussed.

风险评估作为减少少年司法制度对少数民族的差别待遇的机制

摘要美国黑人少年司法制度中对非裔美国少年罪犯的待遇差异仍然存在。这项研究检查了系统实施风险需求响应模型(RNR-Model)之后,在中西部县少年法庭针对非裔美国年轻罪犯的十年判决趋势。特别注意的是,在犯罪部门内进行强化干预与非正式缓刑相比,不成比例的少数族裔接触发生了变化,而非正式缓刑被认为是一种强度低,惩罚性较小的裁决途径。研究结果表明,在实施RNR模型后,非裔美国人更有可能在入院(非正式试用)时接受低强度干预,表明接触差异通过风险评估方法得以部分缓解。讨论了对政策的影响。
